contextmenu for editable cells

[Mary Fontana]

When I create columns that are editable using GridDataVisibleColumn with ReadOnly = false,
the menu that appears for cells in that column is copy,paste,cut.
I would like to add another menuitem.
I tried doing this by setting a GridDataControl.ContextMenu.
But this menu only appears for the read-only cells.

How do I add custom menu items to the default menu for textbox cells that are editable?

Thanks.

Hi Mary,

Thanks for using Syncfusion products.
By Default we cannot include Items into Default ContextMenu. But we can create our own context menu. We have prepared a sample based on this you can find the sample under the following location.

Please let me know if you need further assistants.

Your sample does not work for me I think because I use GridDataVisibleColumn to add the columns.

Your example sets gridControl's ContextMenu

dataGridControl.ContextMenu = menu;

I already had the context menu set.

But when you use GridDataVisibleColumn that uses a TextBox,
the menu used is not the one in dataGridControl.

Please see my attached sample. I added event to handle PreviewMouseRightButtonDown

Please ignore my previous post. I finally got this working by setting the
ColumnStyle = new GridDataColumnStyle() for each GridDataVisibleColumn.

Thanks for your sample.

Sorry,

It still doesnt work. I will see the new context menu in a textbox, but only if I dont select the text box for editing.
and then it uses the copy/paste/cut menu

Hi. Thanks for the update.

I only see the new menu items "cut/copy/paste/undo on the column headers when I right click mouse.
The cells that can be edited still have the copy/cut/paste menu which I think is from the Textbox.
So like if I select Sync1 and then right click I still see the menu copy/cut/paste.

Is there cell type other then textbox that I should use so that the menu is not is not set.

For Now I have implemented a button to do the extra feature on the selected item.

Hi Mary,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

You can achieve your requirement by setting the DisableEditorsContextMenu property to true as follows, This property will disable the editors context menu.

Code snippet [C#]:

this.gdc.Model.DisableEditorsContextMenu = true;

Please let us know if you have any queries.
