Grid Context Menu Items

  • 14 minutes to read

The ASPxGridView control displays different context menu types for the following elements: row, column, footer, group panel, and group footer.

The control automatically hides/shows and disables/enables items in an element’s context menu based on the element’s settings. For instance, the grid hides the Clear Sorting item when it displays the column context menu for an unsorted column.

You can control default context menu item visibility, displayed text, and image for each context menu type. The tables below list the members that affect these settings.
