Type Description
BarManagerActionCollection

A collection of bar actions used to customize the context menu.

Remarks

The Customizations property allows you to customize the Spreadsheet control’s context menus. You can add or remove menu items. Use the PopupMenuShowingEventArgs.MenuType property to determine for which spreadsheet element (a cell, row or column heading, drawing object, etc.) the menu is invoked.

The example below customizes the Cell context menu as follows:

  • Creates new Merge Cells and Highlight Cells items
  • Removes the Insert Comment and Hyperlink items

Custom context menu for the Spreadsheet control

<dxsps:SpreadsheetControl x:Name="spreadsheetControl" 
                          PopupMenuShowing="spreadsheetControl_PopupMenuShowing"/>
using DevExpress.Xpf.Bars;
using DevExpress.Xpf.Spreadsheet;
using DevExpress.Xpf.Spreadsheet.Menu;
using DevExpress.XtraSpreadsheet.Commands;
// ... 

private void spreadsheetControl_PopupMenuShowing(object sender, PopupMenuShowingEventArgs e) {
    // Check whether the event is raised for a spreadsheet cell.
    if (e.MenuType == SpreadsheetMenuType.Cell) {

        // Create a menu item to merge selected cells
        // and bind this item to the spreadsheet command.
        e.Customizations.Add(new BarButtonItem() {
            Command = SpreadsheetUICommand.EditingMergeAndCenterCells,
            Content = "Merge Cells",
            CommandParameter = spreadsheetControl
        });

        // Create a custom menu item to highlight selected cells.
        var menuItem = new BarButtonItem();
        menuItem.Name = "highlightCellsItem";
        menuItem.Content = "Highlight Cells";
        menuItem.ItemClick += MenuItem_ItemClick;
        e.Customizations.Add(menuItem);
    }

    // Remove the "Insert Comment" item from the menu.
    e.Customizations.Add(new RemoveSpreadsheetCommandAction() {
        Id = SpreadsheetCommandId.ReviewInsertCommentContextMenuItem
    });

    // Remove the "Hyperlink" item from the menu.
    e.Customizations.Add(new RemoveSpreadsheetCommandAction() {
        Id = SpreadsheetCommandId.InsertHyperlinkContextMenuItem
    });
}

private void MenuItem_ItemClick(object sender, ItemClickEventArgs e) {
    // Fill selected cells with the yellow color.
    spreadsheetControl.Selection.FillColor = System.Drawing.Color.Yellow;
}
