Remove items from default context menu

[Tommy]

Hi,

I'm using the default context menu for the RadGrid in our application. It has all teh features the customer needs but there are 2 little issues:

- The menu item "edit" still appears in the default menu even when Editing is disabled. Shouldn't that be removed automatically?

- The only item(s) I want to remove from the context menu are copy and paste. The user doesn't need to do that and it produces an error when he copies a text or  a number into a DateField. Sure I can validate that in the code but I would rather remove the two items.

Is ist possible to remove the items and keep the default menu or do I have to create a custom only because of that?

Thanks

Hello Tommy,

Thank you for contacting us and your feedback. We will consider disabling the Edit option when editing is disabled. Thank you for the pointer.

You can hide the Edit, Copy, and the separator item options in the context menu using the following event:

private void radGridView1_ContextMenuOpening(object sender, ContextMenuOpeningEventArgs e)
        {
            e.ContextMenu.Items[0].Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
            e.ContextMenu.Items[1].Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
            e.ContextMenu.Items[2].Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
        }

...or you can make them disabled if you replace each of the three lines above with:

e.ContextMenu.Items[i-th].Enabled = false;

The Paste option should never appear if Copy is hidden/disabled.

Do not hesitate to contact me back if you need further assistance.

 
Kind regards,
