Hello
I need to open the contextmenu of a radgridview without having the current row changed.
Can I identify if the right mouse button is clicked and cancel the current row changing
or do I need to open the menu from the MouseUp event, in which case I need to identif the row on which the right mouse is click event is fired
Thanks in advance
Best Regards

By default, when you click with the right mouse button, the current row in RadGridView is expected to be changed. However, the CurrentRowChanging event allows you to cancel this operation according to your needs:
public RadForm1()
{
InitializeComponent();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
this.radGridView1.Rows.Add(i, "Data" + i);
}
this.radGridView1.CurrentRowChanging+=radGridView1_CurrentRowChanging;
this.radGridView1.MouseDown+=radGridView1_MouseDown;
this.radGridView1.MouseUp+=radGridView1_MouseUp;
}
bool isRightButton = false;
private void radGridView1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Button== System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right)
{
isRightButton = false;
}
}
private void radGridView1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Button== System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right)
{
isRightButton = true;
}
}
private void radGridView1_CurrentRowChanging(object sender, CurrentRowChangingEventArgs e)
{
e.Cancel = isRightButton;
}However, please have in mind that any further operation from the context menu items, e.g. copy/paste etc. considers the current cell. Hence, if the CurrentRowChanging event is cancelled, the context menu will be shown in the context of the current cell/row which may lead to undesired behavior.
An alternative approach is to show programmatically the context menu for the clicked cell:
public RadForm1()
{
InitializeComponent();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
this.radGridView1.Rows.Add(i, "Data" + i);
}
this.radGridView1.CurrentRowChanging+=radGridView1_CurrentRowChanging;
this.radGridView1.MouseDown+=radGridView1_MouseDown;
this.radGridView1.MouseUp+=radGridView1_MouseUp;
this.radGridView1.ContextMenuOpening+=radGridView1_ContextMenuOpening;
}
private void radGridView1_ContextMenuOpening(object sender, ContextMenuOpeningEventArgs e)
{
e.Cancel = isRightButton;
}
bool isRightButton = false;
private void radGridView1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Button== System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right)
{
isRightButton = false;
GridDataCellElement cell = this.radGridView1.ElementTree.GetElementAtPoint(e.Location) as GridDataCellElement;
if (cell!=null)
{
this.radGridView1.GridViewElement.ContextMenuManager.ShowContextMenu(cell);
}
}
}
private void radGridView1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Button== System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right)
{
isRightButton = true;
}
}
private void radGridView1_CurrentRowChanging(object sender, CurrentRowChangingEventArgs e)
{
e.Cancel = isRightButton;
}But it would be necessary to further manage the copy/paste operations since they also consider the current cell as showing the context menu.
In case you are still experiencing any further difficulties, it would be greatly appreciated you can provide more details about the exact goal that you are trying to achieve. Thus, we would be able to think about a suitable solution and provide further assistance. Thank you in advance.
