Context Menu

Updated over 6 months ago

RadPdfViewer has a default context menu - PdfViewerContextMenu which provides a quick way of performing a number of commands. However, you can replace this menu with a custom one by setting the RadContextMenu property of the RadPdfViewer.

New Context Menu

C#

this.radPdfViewer1.RadContextMenu = this.radContextMenu1;

VB.NET

Me.radPdfViewer1.RadContextMenu = Me.radContextMenu1

You can also use the ShowMenu method to show the context menu programmatically at a specified location.

Show Context Menu

C#

private void buttonShowMenu_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.radPdfViewer1.PdfViewerElement.ShowMenu(new Point(100, 100));
}

VB.NET

Private Sub buttonShowMenu_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles buttonShowMenu.Click
    Me.radPdfViewer1.PdfViewerElement.ShowMenu(New Point(100, 100))
End Sub

The context menu can change dynamically. For example, when the Text Selection mode is enabled, Copy and Select All items are displayed in the menu with a separator below them:

FixedDocumentViewerMode.Pan	FixedDocumentViewerMode.TextSelection

Additionally, you can easily add a custom menu item to the context menu. You can find below a sample code snippet:

Add New Menu Item

C#

public PdfUI()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    RadMenuItem item = new RadMenuItem("MyItem");
    item.Click += item_Click;
    this.radPdfViewer1.PdfViewerElement.ContextMenu.Items.Add(item);
}
private void item_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadMessageBox.Show("Perform your custom action here");
}

VB.NET

Public Sub New()
    InitializeComponent()
    Dim item As New RadMenuItem("MyItem")
    AddHandler item.Click, AddressOf item_Click
    Me.RadPdfViewer1.PdfViewerElement.ContextMenu.Items.Add(item)
End Sub
Private Sub item_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    RadMessageBox.Show("Perform your custom action here")
End Sub
