Setting ContextMenu

We want to create the context menu (right click on a cell) based on the Tag value of a cell.

We can set the context menu using the following code:

ContextMenuStrip cmsDefault = new System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenuStrip();
cmsDefault.Items.Add("Test", global::TestReoGrid.Properties.Resources.Image1, onTestClick);
reoGridControl1.ContextMenuStrip = cmsDefault;

But now we first want to set the context menu, based on the Tag value of the clicked cell, before showing the context menu.
We have tried to set the context menu in the "SelectionRangeChanged" event but it first shows the context menu before firing the event.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Kind regards

Re: Setting ContextMenu

Hi, seems the SelectionRangeChanged event in mouse down is not invoked, before the next version to fix this problem, please use the following code instead:

// add an event before context menu display
cmsDefault.Opening += cmsDefault_Opening;

void cmsDefault_Opening(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
    // update the menu label to current selection
    this.currentAddressToolStripMenuItem.Text = "Current Selection: " + reoGridControl1.SelectionRange.ToAddress();
}

The menu label shows like 'Current Selection: D1:B4'.
thanks, Jing
