GridHeaderCommandContext Class

Contains contextual information for a Grid header context menu.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v25.2.dll

Declaration

public class GridHeaderCommandContext :
    GridHeaderCommandContextBase,
    IGridCommandContext,
    ICommandContextBase

Remarks

The DevExpress Blazor Grid allows you to display context menus with predefined and custom commands. Use the ContextMenus property to activate context menus for specific Grid elements.

Run Demo: Context Menu

Handle the CustomizeContextMenu event to modify the menu item collection. Use the Context event argument to identify the target Grid element and obtain contextual information.

Target Element	Context Type	Contextual information
Any	GridCommandContext	Grid
Data Row	GridDataRowCommandContext	Grid, Column, DataItem, RowVisibleIndex
Footer	GridFooterCommandContext	Grid, Column, SummaryItems
Group Footer	GridGroupFooterCommandContext	Grid, Column, GroupRowVisibleIndex, SummaryItems
Group Panel	GridGroupPanelCommandContext	Grid
Group Row	GridGroupRowCommandContext	Grid, GroupColumn, RowVisibleIndex
Header	GridHeaderCommandContext	Grid, Column

Example

The following code snippet customizes commands available in the header context menu:

Razor

@inject WeatherForecastService ForecastService

<DxGrid Data="@Data" ContextMenus="GridContextMenus.Header" CustomizeContextMenu="CustomizeContextMenu">
    <Columns>
        <DxGridSelectionColumn />
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="Date" DisplayFormat="D" />
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="TemperatureC" Caption="@("Temp. (\x2103)")" Width="120px" />
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="TemperatureF" Caption="@("Temp. (\x2109)")" Width="120px" />
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="Forecast" />
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="CloudCover" />
    </Columns>
</DxGrid>

@code {
    object Data { get; set; }

    protected override void OnInitialized() {
        Data = ForecastService.GetForecast();
    }

    void CustomizeContextMenu(GridCustomizeContextMenuEventArgs args) {
        if (args.Context is GridHeaderCommandContext headerContext) {
            // Customizes context menu commands for the Date column header
            if (headerContext.Column is IGridDataColumn dataColumn && dataColumn.FieldName == "Date") {
                args.Items.Remove(GridContextMenuDefaultItemNames.GroupByColumn);
                args.Items.Remove(GridContextMenuDefaultItemNames.UngroupColumn);
            }
            // Customizes context menu commands for the selection column header
            if (headerContext.Column is IGridSelectionColumn selectionColumn) {
                var isFixed = selectionColumn.FixedPosition != GridColumnFixedPosition.None;
                string itemText = isFixed ? "Unfix Column" : "Fix Column to the Left";
                var newValue = isFixed ? GridColumnFixedPosition.None : GridColumnFixedPosition.Left;

                args.Items.AddCustomItem(itemText, () => {
                    headerContext.Grid.BeginUpdate();
                    headerContext.Column.FixedPosition = newValue;
                    headerContext.Grid.EndUpdate();
                });
            }
        }
    }
