Add custom context menu to grid control

[Mahindra Morar]

Hi,

I am trying to add a custom context menu to a Grid control as follows:

@(Html.EJ().Grid<Object>("FlatGrid")

              .AllowPaging()

             .ContextMenuSettings(contextMenu =>

             {

                 contextMenu.EnableContextMenu().CustomContextMenuItems(new List<string>() { "MyMenuItem" });            

             })

            .ClientSideEvents(eve => { eve.ContextClick("contextclick").RightClick("rightclick").ContextOpen("contextopen"); })            

              .Columns(col =>

              {

                  col.Field("BookingCode").HeaderText("Booking Code").Add();               

                  col.Field("BookingDate").HeaderText("BookingDate").Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy}").Add();

                  col.Field("CustomerReference").HeaderText("Customer Reference").Add();

                  col.Field("Note").HeaderText("Note").Add();

                  col.Field("StatusCode").HeaderText("Status").Add();

                  col.Field("TypeCode").HeaderText("Type").Add();                                   

              }))

but get the following compilation error:

Compilation Error

Compiler Error Message: CS1660: Cannot convert lambda expression to type 'Syncfusion.JavaScript.Models.ContextSettings' because it is not a delegate type

Line 92:                  contextMenu.EnableContextMenu().CustomContextMenuItems(new List<string>() { "MyMenuItem" });   

Any help to resolve this issue would be much appreciated.

Hi Mahindra, 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

We have modified the customContextMenuItems property to accept the values as the list of objects instead of list of strings. We also informed about this changes in Release notes of 14.1.0.41. Please refer to code example, sample and release notes for more information 

 

Code example: 

 

@(Html.EJ().Grid<OrdersView>("FlatGrid") 

        .Datasource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.datasource) 

            

        

          .ContextMenuSettings(contextMenu => 

            { 

                contextMenu.EnableContextMenu() 

                    .CustomContextMenuItems(new List<CustomContexMenuItems>() { new CustomContexMenuItems() { Id = "MyMenu", Text = "MyMenuItem" } }); // CustomContext menu items 

                     

            }) 

 

        .AllowPaging() 

         .ClientSideEvents(eve => { eve.ContextClick("contextclick"); }) 

         .Columns(col => 

        { 

----------------------------------- 

        })
