Namespace: DevExpress.UI.Xaml.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.UI.Xaml.Grid.v19.2.dll

Declaration

VB.NET

Public Property RowCellMenu As Object

Property Value

Type	Description
Object	The UI element invoked when the end-user right-clicks a data cell, a row or within the row indicator panel.

Remarks

The RowCellMenu property allows you to define a custom Context Menu for GridControl rows and cells. You can use either the standard MenuFlyout control in this property, or our ContextToolbarControl or ToolbarControl.

When you define a menu control in RowCellMenu, this control’s DataContext is set to an object of the GridRowCellContextMenuInfo class. This class provides information about your GridControl, a target row, cell, column, etc. You can use this information to process different actions at your view model level.

The below snippet illustrates how to define ContextToolbarControl in this property:

Xaml

xmlns:dxg="using:DevExpress.UI.Xaml.Grid"
xmlns:dxr="using:DevExpress.UI.Xaml.Ribbon"

<dxg:GridControl ...>
    <dxg:GridControl.RowCellMenu>
        <dxr:ContextToolbarControl Orientation="Vertical">
            <dxr:ContextToolbarGroup>
                <dxr:ContextToolbarButton Content="Duplicate"
                                            Command="{Binding Grid.DataContext.DuplicateCommand}"
                                            CommandParameter="{Binding Row.Row}"/>
                <dxr:ContextToolbarButton Content="Delete"
                                            Command="{Binding Grid.DataContext.DeleteCommand}"
                                            CommandParameter="{Binding Row.Row}"/>
            </dxr:ContextToolbarGroup>
        </dxr:ContextToolbarControl>
    </dxg:GridControl.RowCellMenu>
</dxg:GridControl>
