context menus crash application

[Jason Jennings]

Hello,
I am posting the following code to obtain insight from the forum. We are using the Adv Tree View control and Menu control. I am displaying a context menu as the result of a right click in the adv tree view control. If I close the application via the system X button while the context menu is shown. I recieve this exception

An unhandled exception of type ''System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException'' occurred in system.windows.forms.dll

Additional information: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.

If I click any where in the application to dismiss the context menu, then close the applicaiton. The exception is not thrown.

Here is my OnMouseDown code:

private void tvaDataMgr_MouseDown (object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
{
switch (((Hashtable) ((TreeViewAdv) sender).GetNodeAtPoint (e.X, e.Y).Tag)["Type"].ToString ())
{
case "ReportYear":
this.pmYear.Show (this.tvaDataMgr, new Point (e.X, e.Y));
break;

case "ReportEntity":
this.pmEntity.Show (this.tvaDataMgr, new Point (e.X, e.Y));
break;

case "Region":
this.pmRegion.Show (this.tvaDataMgr, new Point (e.X, e.Y));
break;

case "Branch":
this.pmBranch.Show (this.tvaDataMgr, new Point (e.X, e.Y));
break;

}
}
}

Thank you for your help

Hi Jason, Please refer to the sample attached (created in our latest release) which shows how you could use our PopupMenus in a TreevIewAdv. In this sample, the PopupMenu gets displayed showing the name of the TreeNodeAdv when right clicked on it. Let me know if this helps. If not, kindly modify the sample and send it back to us so that we can take a look at it. Also let me know the version of Essential Suite that you are using. Thanks for choosing Syncfusion products.

I think I may have left out one import detail. We are using the Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.XPMenus.PopupMenu menus not the Windows Context Menus. I''m not sure which version of controls we are using. Chris Riikonen. I think we have version Beta 2.

Hi Jason, Thanks for the update. I have modified my earlier sample to use Syncfusion PopupMenu instead of the .NET ContextMenu, and have attached_it_here. Please refer to the sample and let me know if this meets your requirements. We appreciate your interest in Syncfusion products. Regards, Guru Patwal Syncfusion, Inc.

Will the pop up manager work with Multiselect same level and with a different pop up at each node level? Notice my code example is displayng a different pop up depending on the node that was clicked.

Hi Jason, The PopupMenusManager works fine with multiple/multilevel selection as well. The intention of my earlier sample was display the selected node in the PopupMenu. But if you wish to display the same items in the PopupMenu, you could do so by simply adding the BarItems to the PopupMenu.ParentBarItem''s Items collection as shown below : this.popupMenu1.ParentBarItem.Items.Add(new BarItem("BarItem1")); this.popupMenu1.ParentBarItem.Items.Add(new BarItem("BarItem2")); this.popupMenu1.ParentBarItem.Items.Add(new BarItem("BarItem3")); I have modified my earlier sample accordingly and have attached it here. Please refer to it and let me know if this meets your requirements. Regards, Guru Patwal Syncfusion, Inc.

It actually is a problem with the docking manager that we are using. Here is your example modified to show the problem. Right-click on a node and leave the menu up and the click on the "X" to close the application. Chris R. crashtest_3570.zip

When will this be available? Is there any workaround for this? This is a "show-stopping" error.
