How to show context menu on clicking button column in radgrid?

[Shinu]

Hi,

Try the following code to show context menu on right click of button.
c#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
  {
   GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
   LinkButton btn = (LinkButton)item["Uniquename"].Controls[0];
   btn.OnClientClick = "showMenu(this, event); return false;";
  }
}

JS:

function showMenu(sender, args) {
        var contextMenu = $find("<%= RadContextMenu1.ClientID %>");
        contextMenu.show(args);
}

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hi,

Try the following code.
C#;

void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
          GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            if (item["UniqueName"].Text.Length > 5)
            {
                item["UniqueName"].Text = item["UniqueName"].Text.Substring(0, 5) + "...";
            }
       }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.
