ASPxClientTreeList.ContextMenu Event

Enables you to display a context menu.

Declaration

ContextMenu: ASPxClientEvent<ASPxClientTreeListContextMenuEventHandler<ASPxClientTreeList>>

Event Data

The ContextMenu event's data class is ASPxClientTreeListContextMenuEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
cancel	Gets or sets whether to invoke the browser’s context menu.
htmlEvent	Gets a DHTML event object that relates to the processed event.
objectKey	Gets a value that identifies the right-clicked object.
objectType	Identifies which tree list element has been right-clicked.

Remarks

The ContextMenu event is raised when an end-user has right-clicked within an ASPxTreeList, and enables you to invoke a context menu. The event parameter provides the following properties:

• objectType

  Identifies which tree list element (‘Header’ or ‘Node’) has been right-clicked.

• objectKey

  Returns a key value that identifies the clicked node. If a column header has been right-clicked, this property returns the column’s index.

• htmlEvent

  Gets a DHTML event object that relates to the processed event.

• cancel

  Specifies whether to invoke the browser’s context menu.

Example

This example demonstrates how to display a context menu. When an end-user right-clicks within the ASPxTreeList, the client-side ASPxClientTreeList.ContextMenu event is fired. In this example, the context menu is invoked when a node is right-clicked.
