Customising the editor context menu

[Andrew Le Couteur Bisson]

I wish to remove the File Menu from the EditControl but this doesn't seem possible even though it is suggested in the documentation that it ought to be.

It seems that the FillMenu event only permits the addition of top-level menu items or the removal of all menu items.

How can I create a context menu that is identical to the default one without the File menu or its sub-menus?

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your update.

We would like to let you know that, the reported requirement can be achieved by handling the MenuFill event in EditControl and using the property named RemoveContextMenuItem from the ContextMenuProvider. Please refer the below code snippet to remove the default menu item from the context menu. We have prepared the sample for your reference and it can be downloaded from the following location.

Code Snippet[C#]:

void editControl1_MenuFill(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

ContextMenuManager cm = (ContextMenuManager)sender;

//To Remove the File menu from the EditControl ContextMenu

cm.ContextMenuProvider.RemoveContextMenuItem("&File");

}
