Example

The following sample code handles the TreeList.PopupMenuShowing event for the following two purposes.

• Disables the summary footer context menu for the “Department” column.
• Removes the “Runtime columns customization” item of the column header context menu.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraTreeList;

private void treeList1_PopupMenuShowing(object sender, PopupMenuShowingEventArgs e) {
    TreeList treeList = sender as TreeList;
    TreeListHitInfo hitInfo = treeList.CalcHitInfo(e.Point);

    // prohibiting summary footer menu for the "Department" column
    if (hitInfo.HitInfoType == HitInfoType.SummaryFooter &&
      hitInfo.Column.Caption == "Department")
        e.Allow = false;

    // removing the "Runtime columns customization" item of the column header menu
    if (hitInfo.HitInfoType == HitInfoType.Column) {
        string caption = TreeListLocalizer.Active.GetLocalizedString(GetMenuColumnCustomizationStringId(treeList));
        e.Menu.Items.Remove(e.Menu.Items.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Caption == caption));
    }
}

private TreeListStringId GetMenuColumnCustomizationStringId(TreeList treeList) {
    if (treeList.OptionsView.ShowBandsMode == DefaultBoolean.True || (treeList.OptionsView.ShowBandsMode == DefaultBoolean.Default && treeList.Bands.Count > 0))
        return TreeListStringId.MenuColumnBandCustomization;
    return TreeListStringId.MenuColumnColumnCustomization;
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraTreeList

Private Sub treeList1_PopupMenuShowing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As PopupMenuShowingEventArgs)
    Dim treeList As TreeList = TryCast(sender, TreeList)
    Dim hitInfo As TreeListHitInfo = treeList.CalcHitInfo(e.Point)

    ' prohibiting summary footer menu for the "Department" column
    If hitInfo.HitInfoType = HitInfoType.SummaryFooter AndAlso hitInfo.Column.Caption = "Department" Then
        e.Allow = False
    End If

    ' removing the "Runtime columns customization" item of the column header menu
    If hitInfo.HitInfoType = HitInfoType.Column Then
        Dim caption As String = TreeListLocalizer.Active.GetLocalizedString(GetMenuColumnCustomizationStringId(treeList))
        e.Menu.Items.Remove(e.Menu.Items.FirstOrDefault(Function(x) x.Caption = caption))
    End If
End Sub

Private Function GetMenuColumnCustomizationStringId(ByVal treeList As TreeList) As TreeListStringId
