ContextMenu in GGC

[Administrator]

Hi,

I have GGC and I want to show up a Contextmenu when a user clicks in the area of the GGC. The context menu should show up even if the user clicks in an area where no cells are.

So I think I can''t use the TableControlCellClick event here. Any ideas?

Thank you
Tom

Hi Tom,

Try handling the TableControlMouseDown event of the GridGroupingControl and show your contextmenu there.

private void gridGroupingControl1_TableControlMouseDown(object sender, GridTableControlMouseEventArgs e)
{
    if(e.Inner.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
    {
	this.contextMenu1.Show(this.gridGroupingControl1, this.gridGroupingControl1.PointToClient(Control.MousePosition));
    }
}

Hi,

thanks your solution works fine - but I have a got a further problem. I have also defined another context menu for a cell click (with a TableControlCellClick event). Now I want to disable the context menu for the TableControlMouseDown event if the user clicks on a cell - is this possible?

Currently there are two context menus shown if a user clicks on a cell (one for the TableControlMouseDown event and another for the TableControlCellClick)

Hi Tom,

Try the code below in the TableControlMouseDown event to conditionally display a context menu for the grid and not for cells.

private void gridGroupingControl1_TableControlMouseDown(object sender, GridTableControlMouseEventArgs e)
{
    GridTableCellStyleInfo styleinfo = e.TableControl.PointToTableCellStyle(new Point(e.Inner.X, e.Inner.Y));
    if(e.Inner.Button == MouseButtons.Right && styleinfo.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType == GridTableCellType.EmptyCell)
    {
	// show contextmenu1
	this.contextMenu1.Show(this.gridGroupingControl1, this.gridGroupingControl1.PointToClient(Control.MousePosition));
    }
}

private void gridGroupingControl1_TableControlCellClick(object sender, GridTableControlCellClickEventArgs e)
{
    if(e.Inner.MouseEventArgs.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
    {
	// show contextmenu2
	this.contextMenu2.Show(this.gridGroupingControl1, this.gridGroupingControl1.PointToClient(Control.MousePosition));
    }
}

Let me kmow if this helps.
