Conditionally hide a grid's custom context menu items

Hello SyncFusion Team,

I'm unable to figure out how to conditionally hide a grid's context menu items using the ContextMenuOpen event handler. (I'm using custom context menu items for the grid) 

In the past, I was able to do selectively hide context menu items for a diagram using DiagramBeforeMenuOpenEventArgs (see example here).

However no such facility exists for grid context menus. 

Any idea on how to work around this limitation?

Thanks,
Mithun

Hi Mithun, 
 
Greetings from Syncfusion support 
 
Query : Conditionally hide a grid’s custom context menu items. 
 
We have analyzed your query and prepared a sample according to that. In the below sample, we have rendered two different context menu items for grid content and grid headers. When you click on the respective item in the context menu, the corresponding action will done on grid. We have used the “Select” event of the context menu to achieve this action. Here in the header context menu, we have rendered two items “Hide column” and “UnHide column”. The hide item will show only when the respective column showed in the grid, and unhide item will show when the column is in hidden mode. Please refer the below code snippet and sample for more reference. 
 
App.component.ts 
 
<ejs-grid #grid [dataSource]='data' [toolbar]='toolbar' id="gridcomp" allowPaging='true' allowSorting='true'  [contextMenuItems]="contextMenuItems" [editSettings]='editing' (contextMenuOpen)='open($event)'> 
        <e-columns> 
            .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  
        </e-columns> 
    </ejs-grid> 
 
<div> 
  <ejs-contextmenu #contextmenu target='.e-content' [items]='menuItems' (created)='onCreated()' (select)='select($event)'></ejs-contextmenu> 
  </div> 
 
  <div> 
  <ejs-contextmenu #headercontextmenu target='.e-gridheader' (beforeOpen)='beforeOpen()' [items]='headermenuItems' (select)='select($event)'></ejs-contextmenu> 
  </div> 
 
App.component.html 
 
export class AppComponent { 
    public data: Object[]; 
    @ViewChild('grid') public grid: GridComponent; 
   @ViewChild('contextmenu') 
    public contextmenu: ContextMenuComponent; 
    @ViewChild('headercontextmenu') 
    public headercontextmenu: ContextMenuComponent; 
     public toolbar: string[]; 
     public menuItems: MenuItemModel[] = [ 
    { 
        text: 'Save Grid Changes' 
    }, 
    { 
        text: 'Print Preview' 
    }, 
    { 
        text: 'Show Summary' 
    }]; 
     public headermenuItems: MenuItemModel[] = [ 
    { 
        text: 'Hide Column' 
    }, 
    { 
        text: 'UnHide Column' 
    }, 
    { 
        text: 'Column background color' 
    }, 
    { 
        text: 'Reset color' 
    }]; 
 
    public contextMenuItems: any; 
    public editing: EditSettingsModel; 
 
beforeOpen(args): void { 
   if(this.grid.getColumnByField('ShipCountry').visible == true){                                                                                                                                                          document.getElementById("unhide").style.display = "none";

   } 
   else{ 
     document.getElementById("hide").style.display = "none";  
     document.getElementById("unhide").style.display = ""; 
   } 
} 
   
    select(args):void { 
       if(args.item.text === "Save Grid Changes") { 
         this.grid.editModule.batchSave(); 
       } 
       if(args.item.text === 'Print Preview') { 
        this.grid.print(); 
      } 
      if(args.item.text === 'Show Summary') { 
        this.grid.aggregates = [{ 
        columns: [{ 
            type: 'Sum', 
            field: 'Freight', 
            footerTemplate: 'Sum: ${Sum}' 
        }] 
        }] 
      } 
      if(args.item.text === 'Hide Column') { 
         this.grid.getColumnByField('ShipCountry').visible = false; 
         this.grid.refreshColumns(); 
       } 
       if(args.item.text === 'UnHide Column') { 
         this.grid.getColumnByField('ShipCountry').visible = true; 
         this.grid.refreshColumns(); 
       } 
       if(args.item.text === 'Column background color') { 
         (document.getElementsByClassName('e-headercell')[1] as any).style = "background-color: green"; 
       } 
       if(args.item.text === 'Reset color') { 
         (document.getElementsByClassName('e-headercell')[1] as any).style.cssText = ""; 
       } 
    }}
