Using custom skin, filtering on grid has no skinning

[Bryanne]

Hi

We are using a custom defined skin on our grid and the context menu for the filtering is not getting the skinning information supplied.  Its still looking for the Default skin.

How do we get the filter/context menu to recognize our custom skin?

Thanks

Hello Bryanne,

The filtering menu of RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX is a RadMenu. You have to either supply a custom skin for the RadMenu as well (with the same name as the RadGrid skin), or you can set an embedded skin for the filtering menu in code-behind like this:

RadGrid1.FilterMenu.EnableEmbeddedSkins = true;
RadGrid1.FilterMenu.Skin = "...." ;


All the best,

We do have a custom skin (Menu.Newskin.css) applied which is the same as our grid skin name, however the context menu is still not showing.

Hello Bryanne,

Could you please paste your RadGrid declaration here (and any other relevant code) so that we try reproduce the issue locally? Thanks.

I think I'm having the same issue.

Oops...I fixed it!

I had a custom skin for RadGrid and found that the Context menu had no skin.  I thought it may be related to a RadMenu and confirmed that thought in finding this post.  After making sure I had the custom menu skin in place (same name as the custom Grid skin) it still didn't work.

Solution:
Don't forget to register the Menu.[CUSTOM SKIN].css on your page (MasterPage in my case).
