How to detect which header is clicked on

[David Harvey]

I wish to add context sensitive menu to a right click event on a header, and therefore need to know which column header was clicked on.

In other words: Right clicking on a header should result in executing code that includes some information somewhere on which column header was clicked on.

Is this possible?

Thank you.

Hi David, 

You can achieve your requirement for adding the context menu in column header and will get the details of the column header like below, 

 

syncfusion:SfDataGrid.HeaderContextMenu> 

                <MenuFlyout> 

                    <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Sort Ascending" Command="{Binding Path=DataContext.SortAscendingCommand}" CommandParameter="{Binding}" /> 

                </MenuFlyout> 

</syncfusion:SfDataGrid.HeaderContextMenu> 

 

private DelegateCommand _sortAscendingCommand; 

 

public DelegateCommand SortAscendingCommand 

{ 

    get 

    { 

        if (_sortAscendingCommand == null) 

            _sortAscendingCommand = new DelegateCommand(CanSortAscending, SortAscending); 

 

        return _sortAscendingCommand; 

    } 

    set { _sortAscendingCommand = value; } 

} 

 

private void SortAscending(object param) 

{ 

    if (param is GridColumnContextMenuInfo) 

    { 

        var grid = (param as GridContextMenuInfo).DataGrid; 

        var column = (param as GridColumnContextMenuInfo).Column; 

        grid.SortColumnDescriptions.Clear(); 

        grid.SortColumnDescriptions.Add(new SortColumnDescription() { ColumnName = column.MappingName, SortDirection = ListSortDirection.Ascending }); 

    } 

}
