Right clicking

[DoomerDGR8]

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
Richard

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);
}
