Why cann't RadContextMenu bind to a data context command ??

[Carlos]

I spent 2+hrs trying to get some simple binding with the RadContextMenu.

Trying to Bind a command and a title. It never works.

Problem like this with your rad controls are making me waste hours!  

Why can it bind to a data context command ??

    <telerikPrimitives:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>
        <telerikPrimitives:RadContextMenu IsOpen="{Binding IsChecked, ElementName=ctrlBtnOpenPopup, Mode=TwoWay}">
            <telerikPrimitives:RadContextMenuItem  Content="{Binding Title}" Command="{Binding PodPageViewModel.CmdMarkEpisodeShare, Mode=OneWay}">
            </telerikPrimitives:RadContextMenuItem>
        </telerikPrimitives:RadContextMenu>
    </telerikPrimitives:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for writing.

Based on the XAML snippet you are sharing we cannot exactly say what happens. Most probably the DataContext you are binding against is not correct. Can you please make sure the data context that is assigned to the context menu is the one which is expected?

It will also be useful if you can send us a sample which reproduces the issue or your entire project for further investigation. You will have to open a new support ticket in order to be able to do that.

Thanks for your time.

The DataContext is correct.  I missed to tell you that the menu is within a datatemplate.

to recreate:

- Create a DataTemplate with context menu elements (somethin like my xaml)
- Set as content template in a ContenControl  
- Set proper context in the content control (with the command to bind to)

No binding occurs...

What's the problem ? 

thanks

Hi Carlos,

The reason for this behavior is that the Context menu is inserted at root level in your page. The data context that you are setting is therefore not accessible by the items.

Try directly setting the DataContext property of the ContextMenu instead.

I hope this helps.
