RadGridView with custom column cells, multiple item selection, and right menu click

[Jon]

Hello everyone! 

I'm currently not sure how to implement a solution for this problem.  I want a RadGridView which has the ability to select multiple items whether it's shift or ctrl clicks, but I once the items are selected, I want the user to be able to right click and make a selection in a menu.  For instance, if a grid column is just a column to designate colors of each item, the user can select in the menu, change color and a window pops open and then they can select the color.  Once the color is selected, then all the items that the user selected would be changed to that color.  I understand I should use the RadContextMenu, but I'm not certain on how to use it with multiple selections.

Also, how can I make a custom column?  For instance, I could just have a rectangle that would fill up and items cell and be a randomized color?

Thanks!

Hello Jon,

As a starting point for integrating the RadContextMenu with the RadGridView, you can take a look at the RadContextMenuForRadGridView SDK example. You can also take a look at the Row Context Menu RadGridView example from our demos.

As for creating a custom column, you can take a look at the Add a Button Column RadGridView article in our documentation. Additionally, you can check out the RowStyleSelector article which demonstrates how you can conditionally style rows.

Please, check out the above referenced articles and let me know if they help.
