Two grids and column context menu

[Adam Nelson]

Hi,

I have a page that has two RadGrids on the form and a RadContextMenu.

I added a tagname target of thead, but really only want it to show for one of the grids. So i have separate OnColumnContextMenu client functions for the grids, one that tracks which column the menu was opened from, the other that (i'm hoping) will hide the context menu.

I would set the target to the control id of the grid I want to enable the context menu on, but I dont want it to be available when clicking on rows in the grid.

function

HideContextMenu(sender, eventArgs)
{
    return false;
}

this does not seem to work and eventArgs.set_cancel(true) is not an option either.

Any ideas/solutions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Adam, my suggestion is instead of setting tagname target for the context menu, catch the OnColumnContextMenu event of the grid and show/hide the menu with the show()/hide() methods from the client-side API. Thus you will be able to control the context menu appearance in a more robust and flexible way when having multiple grids on the page.

See the solution from this demo for more info:

I was able to solve my issue by using the OnClientShowing property of the context menu, it now checks a global javascript variable and calls eventArgs.set_cancel(true). There is probably a cleaner way to get this done, but in my unique situation it was the only way that would work for me.
