How to: Customize a Context Menu for Field Values

  • 3 minutes to read

This example shows how to modify context menu for the Field, Data and Header areas in the PivotGridControl.

  • Field Value context menu contains two new items. One command enables the end-user to exclude all fields but the one which is hovered over. Another command copies the filed name to the clipboard.
  • Data Area context menu contains a command which enables the end-user to copy cell content to the clipboard.
  • Field Header context menu context menu is modified to remove a command which reorders fields.
  • Header Area context menu is modified to remove all built-in commands and add a drop-down menu with a single item which enables the end-user to show/hide column grand totals.

The complete sample project How to Customize the Pivot Grid Context Menu is available in the DevExpress Examples repository.
