RadGrid HeaderContextMenu ItemCreated

[Algo]

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to cancel an item being created in the grid's header context menu.

Here is my temp solution (that works) : 

grid.HeaderContextMenu.ItemCreated += (o, e) =>
{
    if (some_condition)
    {
        e.Item.Owner.Items.Remove(e.Item);
    }
};

I am looking for a better way to do this. I would love to be able to cancel the item from being created at all, rather than letting it create and then removing it.

Thank you

Hi Louis-Joel,

You can try the following javascript in OnHeaderMenuShowing event to hide custom HeaderContextMenu for a  specific column.

function OnHeaderMenuShowing(sender, eventArgs)
{
   if (eventArgs.get_gridColumn().get_uniqueName() == "ColumnUniquename")
    {
  //hide the Clear sorting option from the header context menu
    eventArgs.get_menu().get_items().getItem(2).get_element().style.display = "none";
    }
}

You can also have a look at this help topic in the section: Add items to HeaderContextMenu. You can use the similar approach to access the HeaderContextMenu in the OnPreRenderComplete event and there apply the necessary modifications to the items.
