Remarks

The DXMenuCheckItem class represents a menu item that can be checked and unchecked. The check box displayed by the menu item reflects the current check state. Clicking a check menu item toggles the check state and fires the DXMenuCheckItem.CheckedChanged event.

DXMenuCheckItem items can be added to menus which are represented by the DXPopupMenu class or its descendants. See this topic for more information.

Example

The following example shows how to use the GridView.PopupMenuShowing event to create a custom menu in the Data Grid control. The created menu is displayed when you right-click within a data row or group row. It contains a ‘Rows’ submenu with a single “Delete this row” regular button, and a ‘Cell Merging’ check button.

A click on the ‘Delete this row’ button invokes the ColumnView.DeleteRow method. The ‘Cell Merging’ check button toggles the GridOptionsView.AllowCellMerge option.

        e.Menu.Items.Clear();
        // Add the Rows submenu with the 'Delete Row' command
        e.Menu.Items.Add(CreateSubMenuRows(view, rowHandle));
        // Add the 'Cell Merging' check menu item.
        DXMenuItem item = CreateMenuItemCellMerging(view, rowHandle);
