changing context menu does not work

[Barry Gendenshtein]

Hi,

I've tried to change the context menu of an AutoComplete control but it shows the default context menu (Cut, Copy, Paste) instead of mine.

my code:

AutoComplete createAccountName = new AutoComplete();

ContextMenu cMenuExample = new ContextMenu();

cMenuExample.Items.Add("Change Name");

createAccountName.ContextMenu = cMenuExample;

Hi Barry,

We can hide the default ContextMenu of the AutoComplete by setting the ContextMenu value as Null. The AutoComplete's TextBox can be got using VisualUtils method. We have created a sample for the same, in which have created a new ContextMenu for AutoComplete and set the default ContextMenu of TextBox as Null. Please download the same from the below link.

Sample: AutoCompleteContextMenusample

Hi, thanks for the fast response. 

Your solution works if the AutoComplete control is not created at runtime, but in my program it does and I receive a "System.NullReferenceException"  since the textBox does not get the reference to the TextBox descendant of the AutoComplete using the VisualUtils method and remains null...

Try creating the AutoComplete control at runtime as I did in my code in the first message.
