GridHeaderCommandContext.Grid Property

Returns the Grid object.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v25.2.dll

Declaration

public IGrid Grid { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IGrid	The Grid object.

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. 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.

When the target element is a header cell, the Context property returns a GridHeaderCommandContext object. Use the object’s Grid property to access the Grid and its extensive API.

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();
                });
            }
        }
    }
