Hello,
I am relatively new here, and would need help with how i can set different ContextMenusStrip based on selected child template in my RadGridView.
I am using one GridView with four child templates and would want each of them to be assigned a different ContextMenuStrip to ease the operations around the data in each template. So my barrier now is now to programatically check which template is currently selected (focused) and bind the ContextMenuStrip accordingly or at least disable some buttons in it based on desired output
Thanks in advance for looking into this

Hello, Jules,
RadGridView offers the ContextMenuOpening event which is quite useful to specify what menu items to be displayed considering the target cell. In the ContextMenuOpeningEventArgs you have access to the target cell by the ContextMenuProvider. I have prepared a sample code snippet for your reference demonstrating how to display different menu items considering the child template. Additional information about the ContextMenuOpening event is available in the following help article: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/gridview/context-menus/conditional-custom-context-menus
I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
Dess
