Hi Mike,

As you said we can't apply a context menu to a part of a control if we choose the "ContextMenuStrip" property for ultragrid control. I tried MouseDown event to assign or remove the context menu. Although the below code works fine if and only if you remove the "ContextMenuStrip" property for ultragrid control. Because it overrides the below code and displays the context menu whereever you click the mouse within the control.

********************************************************************************

private void ugQueue_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
            {
                Point mousePoint = new Point(e.X, e.Y);
                UIElement element = ((UltraGrid)sender).DisplayLayout.UIElement.ElementFromPoint(mousePoint);

                UltraGridCell cell = element.GetContext(typeof(UltraGridCell)) as UltraGridCell;

                if (cell != null)
                {
                    if (Convert.ToByte(cell.Row.Cells["Status"].Value) == 0)
                    {
                        cmnuQueue.Show(ugQueue, mousePoint);
                        cell.Row.Selected = true;
                    }
                    else
                        return;
                }
            }
        }

Thanks Mike.

That's another good way to do it. I would recommend using MouseUp instead of MouseDown, though. If you try this with any Windows application, you can see that context menus are always display in the MouseUp. Displaying a context menu in MouseDown can cause problems because the control gets a MouseDown, but the MouseUp message is lost. 

I would like to know if I right-clicked on the cell header.  How do I do this?

My current code:

    Private Sub ugCommission_MouseUp(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles ugCommission.MouseUp
 
        Dim cmItemNum As New ContextMenuStrip
        Dim cmCommDue As New ContextMenuStrip
 
        If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right Then
 
            Dim ptCurrent As Point = New Point(e.X, e.Y)
            Dim uiElement As Infragistics.Win.UIElement = CType(sender, UltraGrid).DisplayLayout.UIElement.ElementFromPoint(ptCurrent)
            Dim ugCell As UltraGridCell = uiElement.GetContext(GetType(UltraGridCell))
            Dim ugRow As UltraGridRow = uiElement.GetContext(GetType(UltraGridRow))
            ' Thought ugUIElement would be it, but it is also nothing when I right click on the col header cell
            Dim ugUIElement As UltraGridUIElement = uiElement.GetContext(GetType(UltraGridUIElement))
 
            If ugCell IsNot Nothing Then
 
                ugCommission.Selected.Rows.Clear()
 
                ugRow.Selected = True
 
                If ugCell.Column.Key = "ITEM_NUM" Then
 
                    _cmItemNum.Show(ugCommission, ptCurrent)
 
                ElseIf ugCell.Column.Key = "COMM_DUE" Then
 
                    _cmCommDue.Show(ugCommission, ptCurrent)
 
                End If
 
            End If
 
        End If
 
    End Sub

Hi,

As mike said you can also try with ColumnHeader. But the coding pattern remains same.
