Property Paths

You can access this nested property as listed below:

Object Type	Path to ShowRowBrick
PropertyGridControl	.OptionsView.ShowRowBrick

Remarks

The property grid can display a context menu for a particular property. The menu contains the predefined Reset command that sets the property to its default value. You can provide custom commands by handling dedicated events. To invoke the menu, users can do one of the following:

• click a brick button displayed against a property. Brick buttons are only available in the Office view (see PropertyGridControl.ActiveViewType). To show brick buttons, set ShowRowBrick property to True. To populate the menu, handle the PropertyGridControl.RowBrickMenuShowing event;

  

  C#

  
  DXMenuItem createDataBindingItem;
  protected DXMenuItem CreateDataBindingItem {
      get {
          if (createDataBindingItem == null) {
              DXMenuItem item = new DXMenuItem("Create Data Binding...");
              item.Click += (s, ee) => MessageBox.Show("'Create Data Binding...' is clicked.");
              createDataBindingItem = item;
          }
          return createDataBindingItem;
      }
  }
  private void Grid_RowBrickMenuShowing(object sender, Events.PopupMenuShowingEventArgs e) {
      if(e.Row.Properties.FieldName == "Appearance.BackColor")
          e.Menu.Items.Add(CreateDataBindingItem);
  }
  

  VB.NET

  
  Imports DevExpress.Utils.Menu
  
  Private Sub propertyGridControl1_RowBrickMenuShowing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DevExpress.XtraVerticalGrid.Events.PopupMenuShowingEventArgs) _
      Handles propertyGridControl1.RowBrickMenuShowing
      If e.Row.Properties.FieldName = "Appearance.BackColor" Then
          e.Menu.Items.Add(CreateDataBindingItem)
      End If
  End Sub
  Private createDataBindingItem1 As DXMenuItem
  Protected ReadOnly Property CreateDataBindingItem() As DXMenuItem
      Get
          If createDataBindingItem1 Is Nothing Then
              Dim item As New DXMenuItem("Create Data Binding...")
              AddHandler item.Click, Sub(s, ee) MessageBox.Show("'Create Data Binding...' is clicked.")
              createDataBindingItem1 = item
          End If
          Return createDataBindingItem1
      End Get
  End Property
  

  Note

  Items added using this event are not shown when the menu is invoked with a right-click on a property (see below).

  You can also customize brick buttons by handling the PropertyGridControl.CustomDrawRowBrick event.

• right-click a property. To enable the menu, use the VGridOptionsMenu.EnableContextMenu property. To populate the menu, handle the VGridControlBase.PopupMenuShowing event;

  

  C#

  
  DXMenuItem createDataBindingItem;
  protected DXMenuItem CreateDataBindingItem {
      get {
          if (createDataBindingItem == null) {
              DXMenuItem item = new DXMenuItem("Create Data Binding...");
              item.Click += (s, ee) => MessageBox.Show("'Create Data Binding...' is clicked.");
              createDataBindingItem = item;
          }
          return createDataBindingItem;
      }
  }
  private void Grid_PopupMenuShowing(object sender, Events.PopupMenuShowingEventArgs e) {
      if(e.Row.Properties.FieldName == "Appearance.BackColor")
          e.Menu.Items.Add(CreateDataBindingItem);
  }
  

  VB.NET

  
  Private createDataBindingItem1 As DXMenuItem
  Protected ReadOnly Property CreateDataBindingItem() As DXMenuItem
      Get
          If createDataBindingItem1 Is Nothing Then
              Dim item As New DXMenuItem("Create Data Binding...")
              AddHandler item.Click, Sub(s, ee) MessageBox.Show("'Create Data Binding...' is clicked.")
              createDataBindingItem1 = item
          End If
          Return createDataBindingItem1
      End Get
  End Property
  
  Private Sub propertyGridControl1_PopupMenuShowing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DevExpress.XtraVerticalGrid.Events.PopupMenuShowingEventArgs) _
      Handles propertyGridControl1.PopupMenuShowing
      If e.Row.Properties.FieldName = "Appearance.BackColor" Then
          e.Menu.Items.Add(CreateDataBindingItem)
      End If
  End Sub
  

  Note

  Items added using this event are also shown when the menu is invoked with a click on a brick button displayed against a property.
