TreeListCustomizeContextMenuEventArgs.Items Property

Contains context menu items.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

public IContextMenuItemCollection Items { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IContextMenuItemCollection	A context menu item collection.

Remarks

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

Run Demo: Context Menu

Handle the CustomizeContextMenu event to modify the menu item collection. The Items event argument stores commands to display in the context menu.

Built-in Commands

The initial Items collection depends on the menu type, TreeList settings, and component state. For instance, a header context menu contains the SortColumnAscending command only if sorting is allowed (on both TreeList and column levels). The ClearColumnSorting command is disabled if the target column is not sorted.

The table below lists context menu types and built-in commands available in the TreeList:

- The context menu includes this item by default.
- You can add this item to the context menu.

Menu Item	Data Row	Footer	Header
AutoFitAll
ClearColumnSorting
CollapseAll
ExpandAll
HideColumn
ShowColumnChooser
ShowFilterBuilder
SortColumnAscending
SortColumnDescending

Example

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

Razor

@inject EmployeeTaskService EmployeeTaskService

<DxTreeList Data="TreeListData"
            KeyFieldName="Id"
            ParentKeyFieldName="ParentId"
            ContextMenus="TreeListContextMenus.Header"
            CustomizeContextMenu="CustomizeContextMenu">
    <Columns>

        <DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="Name" Caption="Task" ShowInColumnChooser="false"/>
        <DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="EmployeeName" />
        <DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="StartDate" />
        <DxTreeListDataColumn FieldName="DueDate" />
    </Columns>
</DxTreeList>

            // Customizes context menu commands for the Task column header
            if (headerContext.Column is ITreeListDataColumn dataColumn && dataColumn.Caption == "Task") {
                args.Items.Remove(TreeListContextMenuDefaultItemNames.HideColumn);
            }
            // Customizes context menu commands for the selection column header
            if (headerContext.Column is ITreeListSelectionColumn selectionColumn) {
                var isFixed = selectionColumn.FixedPosition != TreeListColumnFixedPosition.None;
                string itemText = isFixed ? "Unfix Column" : "Fix Column to the Left";
                var newValue = isFixed ? TreeListColumnFixedPosition.None : TreeListColumnFixedPosition.Left;

                args.Items.AddCustomItem(itemText, () => {
                    headerContext.TreeList.BeginUpdate();
                    selectionColumn.FixedPosition = newValue;
                    headerContext.TreeList.EndUpdate();
