According to this page: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/menus/contextmenu/context-menus
I should be able to assign a radcontextmenu to the contextmenu of the radsyntaxeditor. However, I'm finding that not to be the case as you can see below. my contextmenu named ctxMenuEditor is of type radContextMenu.
The below screenshots should show the problem I think. Basically, for whatever reason, the radsyntaxeditor doesn't accept the radcontextmenu, just contextmenu object type.

Hi Troy,
Thank you for the provided details.
The RadSyntaxEditor control does not expose such property due to the structure of its text area. What you can do instead is to subscribe to the MouseDown event of the control. In the event handler, you can check if the Left Mouse button triggers the event. If yes, you can show your instance of RadContextMenu. Keep in mind that you will need to pass the clicked point in RadSyntaxEditor control.
private void Editor_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
{
this.radContextMenu1.Show(this.editor, this.editor.PointToClient(Cursor.Position));
}
}Give this approach a try and let me know how it goes.
