GDBG Popup menu problem

[Stan Sajous]

I have a GridDataBoundGrid which has a Syncfusion PopupMenu attatched as a context menu. My problem is when a cell is left-clicked on and put into edit mode, then immediately right-clicked on to bring up the popup menu, the application hangs. This will only happen when that is the first attempt to bring up the popup menu. If I right-click on an inactive cell the popup displays correctly and from that point forward even right-clicking in edit-mode cells will work. But if I bring up a fresh form and try to bring up the context menu from an edit-mode cell the app dies. I''ve attached a sample project that illustrates the problem. Stan Sajous

Did you attached the sample you intended to attach? It uses a GridControl and does not have any context menus set up????

Sorry about that. Similar names. . . The real sample >Did you attached the sample you intended to attach? It uses a GridControl and does not have any context menus set up????

I was able to avoid this problem by assigning the contxt menu to the embedded cell control after setting the grid''s datasource.

grdTest.DataSource = Employees1.Employees
Me.PopupMenusManager1.SetXPContextMenu(Me.grdTest.CellRenderers("TextBox").Control, Me.PopupMenu1)

I tried this and it doesn''t completely avoid the problem. It fixes it for the text box cells, but then the exact same issue arises for any combo box cells. So the issue was only shifted.

I tried adding the line:

Me.PopupMenusManager1.SetXPContextMenu(Me.grdTest.CellRenderers("ComboBox").Control, Me.PopupMenu1)

but received a ArgumentNullException. I also tried looping through grdTest.CellRenderers but again received exceptions.

Is there any way to set the popup menu to activate on all the cell renderer types in a a given grid?

You can do this dynamically by subscribing to these events in Form.Load.

        AddHandler grdTest.CurrentCellControlGotFocus, AddressOf grid_CurrentCellControlGotFocus
        AddHandler grdTest.CurrentCellControlLostFocus, AddressOf grid_CurrentCellControlLostFocus

Then in the handlers, set and clear teh context menus.

   Private Sub grid_CurrentCellControlGotFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ControlEventArgs)
        Me.PopupMenusManager1.SetXPContextMenu(e.Control, Me.PopupMenu1)
    End Sub

    Private Sub grid_CurrentCellControlLostFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ControlEventArgs)
        Me.PopupMenusManager1.SetXPContextMenu(e.Control, Nothing)
    End Sub
