How to get a context menu to work on the detail view of master-detail

[han swurst]

Hi,
i just want to know how to get a context menu to show up if a record is selected on a detail view.
No problem to get this on the master.

Heres the code for the maste-detail view:

SfDataGrid1.AutoGenerateColumns = False
SfDataGrid1.DataSource = GetDataTable()
SfDataGrid1.Columns.Add(New GridTextColumn() With {.MappingName = "Projektnummer", .HeaderText = "PrjNr", .Width = 70})
SfDataGrid1.Columns.Add(New GridTextColumn() With {.MappingName = "Kunde", .HeaderText = "Kunde", .Width = 135, .AllowFiltering = True})
SfDataGrid1.Columns.Add(New GridTextColumn() With {.MappingName = "Projektbezeichnung", .HeaderText = "Projektbezeichnung", .Width = 215})
SfDataGrid1.Columns.Add(New GridTextColumn() With {.MappingName = "Projektstatus", .HeaderText = "Projektstatus", .Width = 130, .AllowFiltering = True})
SfDataGrid1.Columns("Projektstatus").FilterPredicates.Add(New FilterPredicate() With {.FilterType = FilterType.NotEquals, .FilterValue = "Abgeschlossen", .PredicateType = PredicateType.AndAlso}) SfDataGrid1.Columns("Projektstatus").FilterPredicates.Add(New FilterPredicate() With {.FilterType = FilterType.NotEquals, .FilterValue = "nicht bestellt", .PredicateType = PredicateType.AndAlso}) SfDataGrid1.Columns("Projektstatus").FilterPredicates.Add(New FilterPredicate() With {.FilterType = FilterType.NotEquals, .FilterValue = "storniert", .PredicateType = PredicateType.AndAlso}) SfDataGrid1.Columns("Projektstatus").FilterPredicates.Add(New FilterPredicate() With {.FilterType = FilterType.NotEquals, .FilterValue = ""})
Dim sortColumnDescription As New SortColumnDescription()
sortColumnDescription.ColumnName = "Projektnummer"
sortColumnDescription.SortDirection = ListSortDirection.Descending Me.SfDataGrid1.SortColumnDescriptions.Add(sortColumnDescription)
SfDataGrid1.AutoGenerateRelations = False
SfDataGrid1.AllowEditing = False
Dim gridViewDefinition = New GridViewDefinition()
gridViewDefinition.RelationalColumn = "Projekt-Unterprojekt"
AddHandler nestedgrid.SelectionChanged, AddressOf nestedgrid_selection_changed
nestedgrid.AutoGenerateColumns = False
nestedgrid.Columns.Add(New GridTextColumn() With {.MappingName = "Projektnummer", .HeaderText = " UnterPrjNr", .Width = 150})
nestedgrid.Columns.Add(New GridTextColumn() With {.MappingName = "Projektbezeichnung", .HeaderText = "Projektbezeichnung", .Width = 300})
nestedgrid.Columns.Add(New GridTextColumn() With {.MappingName = "Projektstatus", .HeaderText = "Projektstatus", .Width = 160, .AllowFiltering = True})
nestedgrid.Columns("Projektstatus").FilterPredicates.Add(New FilterPredicate() With {.FilterType = FilterType.NotEquals, .FilterValue = "Abgeschlossen"})
nestedgrid.Columns("Projektstatus").FilterPredicates.Add(New FilterPredicate() With {.FilterType = FilterType.NotEquals, .FilterValue = "nicht bestellt"})
nestedgrid.Columns("Projektstatus").FilterPredicates.Add(New FilterPredicate() With {.FilterType = FilterType.NotEquals, .FilterValue = "storniert"})
nestedgrid.ContextMenuStrip = cm_nestedgrid
gridViewDefinition.DataGrid = nestedgrid
SfDataGrid1.DetailsViewDefinitions.Add(gridViewDefinition)
SfDataGrid1.HideEmptyGridViewDefinition = True
SfDataGrid1.DetailsViewPadding = New Padding(2)

Can someone help me out?

Best Regards

Chris

Hi han swurst, 

You can achieve the requirement of yours to show the ContextMenu in the DetailsViewDataGrid  as shown in the below code snippet. 

this.sfDataGrid1.DetailsViewLoading += SfDataGrid1_DetailsViewLoading;  

 

private void SfDataGrid1_DetailsViewLoading(object sender, Syncfusion.WinForms.DataGrid.Events.DetailsViewLoadingAndUnloadingEventArgs e) 

{ 

    e.DetailsViewDataGrid.RecordContextMenu = new ContextMenuStrip(); 

    e.DetailsViewDataGrid.RecordContextMenu.Items.Add("Cut", null); 

    e.DetailsViewDataGrid.RecordContextMenu.Items.Add("Copy", null); 

    e.DetailsViewDataGrid.RecordContextMenu.Items.Add("Paste", null); 

}
