PopupMenuShowingEventArgs.Menu Property

Gets or sets the popup menu that is about to be displayed.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraGrid.v19.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public GridViewMenu Menu { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property Menu As GridViewMenu

Property Value

Type	Description
DevExpress.XtraGrid.Menu.GridViewMenu	The menu that is about to be displayed.

Remarks

The Menu property allows you to add, remove and customize items in the currently processed popup menu. To identify the type of the menu, use PopupMenuShowingEventArgs.MenuType.

The Data Grid does not display empty popup menus. Thus, if you remove all items from the menu, this menu will not be displayed after your PopupMenuShowing event handler is complete.

When you right-click within a row or group row, the Data Grid creates an empty menu and fires the PopupMenuShowing event (the event’s PopupMenuShowingEventArgs.MenuType parameter is set to Row). If you leave this menu intact (empty), it will not be displayed. To add new menu items to this and other menus, use the Menu.Items.Add method. See an example below.

To access the existing menu items, you can iterate through the Menu.Items collection, or use the Menu.Find and Menu.FindAll methods. To hide or remove certain menu items, use the Menu.Hide and Menu.Remove methods. When searching for a target menu item, you need to know the menu item identifier, which you can find by reading the item’s DXMenuItem.Tag property. You can also see the Menu Item Identifiers section below to learn the available menu item identifiers for the built-in menus.

Menu Item Objects

The menu items can be the following objects:

• DXMenuItem - A regular button.
• DXSubMenuItem - A sub-menu.
• DXMenuCheckItem - A check button.

Use these objects’ settings to change item captions, images, visibility, enabled state, etc.

The DXMenuItem.Tag properties store the menu item identifiers for the default menu items.

When you create a custom menu item, use the item’s DXMenuItem.Tag property to store any custom data with which you may need to identify the item or process the item’s click event.

Menu Item Identifiers

The four tables below show the menu item identifiers (contents of the DXMenuItem.Tag properties) in Data Grid’s built-in menus.

Column Header Menu (DevExpress.XtraGrid.Menu.GridViewColumnMenu)

When handling the PopupMenuShowing and GridMenuItemClick events, you can identify this menu type using the e.MenuType event parameter, which is set to GridMenuType.Column

The Tag properties of the items in this menu can be the following objects:

• DevExpress.XtraGrid.Localization.GridStringId

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.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid;
using DevExpress.Utils.Menu;
using DevExpress.XtraEditors;

private void gridView1_PopupMenuShowing(object sender, PopupMenuShowingEventArgs e) {
    GridView view = sender as GridView;
    if (e.MenuType == DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid.GridMenuType.Row) {
        int rowHandle = e.HitInfo.RowHandle;
        // Delete existing menu items, if any.
        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);
        item.BeginGroup = true;
        e.Menu.Items.Add(item);
    }
}

DXMenuItem CreateSubMenuRows(GridView view, int rowHandle) {
    DXSubMenuItem subMenu = new DXSubMenuItem("Rows");
    string deleteRowsCommandCaption;
    if (view.IsGroupRow(rowHandle))
        deleteRowsCommandCaption = "&Delete rows in this group";
    else
        deleteRowsCommandCaption = "&Delete this row";
    DXMenuItem menuItemDeleteRow = new DXMenuItem(deleteRowsCommandCaption, new EventHandler(OnDeleteRowClick), imageCollection1.Images[0]);
    menuItemDeleteRow.Tag = new RowInfo(view, rowHandle);
    menuItemDeleteRow.Enabled = view.IsDataRow(rowHandle) || view.IsGroupRow(rowHandle);
    subMenu.Items.Add(menuItemDeleteRow);
    return subMenu;
}

DXMenuCheckItem CreateMenuItemCellMerging(GridView view, int rowHandle) {
    DXMenuCheckItem checkItem = new DXMenuCheckItem("Cell &Merging",
      view.OptionsView.AllowCellMerge, null, new EventHandler(OnCellMergingClick));
    checkItem.Tag = new RowInfo(view, rowHandle);
    checkItem.ImageOptions.Image = imageCollection1.Images[1];
    return checkItem;
}

void OnDeleteRowClick(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    DXMenuItem menuItem = sender as DXMenuItem;
    RowInfo ri = menuItem.Tag as RowInfo;
    if (ri != null) {
        string message = menuItem.Caption.Replace("&", "");
        if (XtraMessageBox.Show(message + " ?", "Confirm operation", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) != DialogResult.Yes)
            return;
        ri.View.DeleteRow(ri.RowHandle);
    }
}

Example

The following code customizes the existing commands in the Data Grid’s Column Header Menu by handling the GridView.PopupMenuShowing event:

• Captions of the “Sort Ascending” and “Sort Descending” commands are replaced with custom strings;

• A few commands are hidden;

• Two “Best Fit” commands are disabled.
