    Hi. I need to get me a context menu on the Calendar through which I plan to process the selected date(s) or use the date(s) in other process. I cant understand how'd I go about using a RadContextMenu

    Hi Hassan,

    Do you want this on RadCalendar, or RadDateTimePicker?
    Thanks

    Hi Hassan,

    To add a Right Click Context menu to the RadCalendar

    private RadContextMenu m_ContextMenu = new RadContextMenu();

    form load..
    RadMenuItem menuItem = new RadMenuItem("Click Me");
    menuItem.Click += new EventHandler(menuItem_Click);
    m_ContextMenu.Items.Add(menuItem);
    this.radCalendar1.MouseDown += new MouseEventHandler(radCalendar1_MouseDown);

    void radCalendar1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
        {
            Point p = (sender as Control).PointToScreen(e.Location);
            m_ContextMenu.Show(p.X, p.Y);
        }
    }

    void menuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(this.radCalendar1.SelectedDate.ToLongDateString());
    }

    Hope that helps
    Richard

    Excellent. However, there is an issue that right-clicking also selects/de-selects a date. I need to prevent date selection through right click. I just need it to show a context menu.

    Hi Hassan,

    To get around it selecting a date on right mouse click, add the following

    1: In form load
    this.radCalendar1.SelectionChanging += new SelectionEventHandler(radCalendar1_SelectionChanging);

    2: Stop selection changed on right click
    void radCalendar1_SelectionChanging(object sender, SelectionEventArgs e)
    {
        e.Cancel = string.Equals(Control.MouseButtons.ToString(), "Right");
    }

    Hope that helps

    Actually, this is a bit cleaner
    void radCalendar1_SelectionChanging(object sender, SelectionEventArgs e)
    {
        e.Cancel = (Control.MouseButtons == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right);
    }
