Working with a Context Menu

[Chris]

Hi,

Very new to the RAD controls so please bear with me as I have moved over from Infragistics and CSOM is totally different.
I have implemented a context menu using the RadContextMenu and so far so good.  However I can't work out how to access the data for the selected row client side.

What I am trying to do is to get a value from a cell in the row clicked on when the context menu was invoked.  I have tried :-

var commandName = args.get_item().get_text();
if (commandName == "Properties")
{
// Get the row selected in the tree
var treeList = $find("<%= componentTree.ClientID %>");
var row = treeList.get_selectedItems()[0]; 
var componentID = treelist.getCellByColumnUniqueName(row, 'EmployeeID');
alert(componentID); 

// ...amd from the row get the component id
window.open("./componentproperties.aspx?componentid=" + componentID + "&src=compview"); 

}

But this does not work - reading a bit further I don't think that the get_selectedItems is returning the selected rows which is a bit of a flaw in my understanding of this.  Any advice please on how to get the value of  call from the selected row?

Hello Chris,

Please examine the Integration with RadContextMenu demo to see how the desired functionality can be implemented.
The get_item() property of the event arguments of the OnItemContextMenu event is the right-clicked TreeListDataItem object.

I hope this helps.
