RadMenuItem in RadGridView Events

[Mike]

I have a radgridviw. In the last column of the gridview, I would like to use a menu items to provide additional functionality such as viewing documents, editing documents, etc. I have the controls loaded in the grid, and they display fine, but I can not capture any events in the column containing the menu items. Code pasted below.

public partial class LALA: UserControl
    {
        public LALA()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            BindToDataReader();
            gvManageDocs.CellFormatting += new  CellFormattingEventHandler(gvManageDocs_CellFormatting);             
        }
     

        private void gvManageDocs_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e) 
            {

                if (e.CellElement is GridCommandCellElement) 
                { 
                    if (e.CellElement.Children[0] is RadButtonElement ) 
                    { 
                        e.CellElement.Children.Clear();

                        RadMenuElement buttonElement = new RadMenuElement(); 
                        //RadDropDownButtonElement buttonElement = new RadDropDownButtonElement();
                        buttonElement.Items.Add(new RadMenuItem("view")); 
                        buttonElement.Items.Add(new RadMenuItem("modify")); 
                        buttonElement.Items.Add(new RadMenuItem("release"));
                        buttonElement.Items.Add(new RadMenuItem("new")); 
                        e.CellElement.Children.Add(buttonElement); 

                    } 
                } 
            } 

        private void BindToDataReader()
        {

            gvManageDocs.GridElement.BeginUpdate();
            gvManageDocs.MasterGridViewTemplate.Columns.Clear();
            gvManageDocs.GridElement.EndUpdate(false);
            gvManageDocs.GridElement.BeginUpdate();

            gvManageDocs.MasterGridViewTemplate.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
            gvManageDocs.MasterGridViewTemplate.AllowAutoSizeColumns = true;
            gvManageDocs.MasterGridViewTemplate.AllowAddNewRow = false;

            char[] delimiterChars = { ',' };
            string strHeaders = AppGlobal.g_strAllManageHeaders;
            string[] allHeaders = strHeaders.Split(delimiterChars);
            string strDataFields = AppGlobal.g_strAllManageData;
            string[] allDataFields = strDataFields.Split(delimiterChars);

            for (int x = 0; x < allHeaders.Length; x++)
            {               
                if (x == allHeaders.Length-1)
                {
                    GridViewCommandColumn column = new GridViewCommandColumn();
                    column.HeaderText = allHeaders[x].ToString();
                    column.DataField = allDataFields[x].ToString();
                    gvManageDocs.MasterGridViewTemplate.Columns.Add(column);
                    column = null;
                }
                else
                {
                    GridViewTextBoxColumn column = new GridViewTextBoxColumn();
                    column.HeaderText = allHeaders[x].ToString();
                    column.DataField = allDataFields[x].ToString();
                    gvManageDocs.MasterGridViewTemplate.Columns.Add(column);
                    column = null;
                }
            }
        
 
             gvManageDocs.GridElement.EndUpdate(false);
           
            this.gvManageDocs.DataSource = DATASET
           
           
        }

    }

Hi mike scardina,

Thank you for contacting us.

In order to capture events from menu items, you should process the Click event of the RadMenuItem. Refer to the code snippet below:

RadMenuItem item = new RadMenuItem("view");
item.Click += new EventHandler(item_Click);
buttonElement.Items.Add(item);

        void item_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show("View menu item clicked!");
}

I hope this helps. Do not hesitate to write me, if you have other questions.
