I need some help in determining what the best method is for generating a pop-up, context-like menu for items in a grid would be.
I have a grid that is populated with files. What I'd like to do is have an AJAX'ed pop-up when a user clicks on a row in the grid (or possibly even just on row hover - I haven't totally made up my mind yet). Based on certain conditions of the row, the pop-up will display certain actions that the user can do (ie - "Delete File", "Move File". "Open File", etc). So, whatever the ultimate solution is, the pop-up should be created on the fly via AJAX, rather than created before.
My first inclination is to use the ToolTip due to the fact that it seems like there is more control over this and I like the appearance of this more than the Menu. The biggest question, however, is will using a ToolTip ultimately be more difficult to accomplish than using a Menu?
Also, I'm having a little trouble determining exactly how to wire all this together, so any pointers on required components/methods to use would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ryan

Hello Ryan,
I think that utilizing RadMenu, RadGrid and RadAjax for this tasks would be the most sufficient approach. Review the suggestions/sample project from this public forum post (elaborating on the same subject). It can become the basis for your custom implementation process. Of course, you can modify the presented functionality to meet your additional requirements/visions.
