RadTreeNode child node inherits root node context menu

[Marbry]

This was driving me nuts.  I have a child node several levels down in the tree that sometimes has no context menu on it.  It's about the only one that does.

When it didn't have a menu defined, well, it still had a menu.  I couldn't get rid of it even setting the ContextMenuID to an empty string.

I finally determined I could prevent that by setting it to something other than "", but that didn't corrrespond to an actual menu.  It appears that it was inheriting the menu of the root node since that's the only one that used that particular menu.

Easy to remedy, but extremely frustrating for a little while.

Hi Marbry,

Please  refer to our Context Menu demo where you can see how there a re two menus- MainContextMenu and EmptyFolderContextMenu. If you remove all the items of one of them but leave it like shown below for example no menu will be displayed:

<telerik:RadTreeViewContextMenu ID="EmptyFolderContextMenu" runat="server">

                   </telerik:RadTreeViewContextMenu>

Hope this will be helpful.

So you're saying if I create a menu with no items in it, and assign that as a placeholder it will achieve the same result?

Like,

RadTreeViewContextMenu mnuPlaceholder = new RadTreeViewContextMenu();
mnuPlaceholder.ID = "PlaceholderMenu";

That's fine, I'm just surprised at the default behavior causing it to inherit that.  It's backwards from what I would expect.  I would think you would want to have to explicitly enable that.

Hello Marbry,

Yes, the default behavior is when the second ContextMenu is not defined for some nodes, the first contextmenu is taken.
