Menu / Popup Menu

Landscape Hover this image to display the popup menu
Landscape Left-click this image to display the popup menu
Display the popup menu at specific coordinates

Note: To run in Opera Browser RadContextMenu needs right-clicks allowed. This is done by using "Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> JavaScript options -> Allow script to receive right clicks". In addition, because of browser limitations, on right-click both RadContextMenu and the standard browser context menu are displayed. A workaround to the latter is using the ESC key to hide the default browser context menu.


  • The purpose of this example is to demostrate how flexibly the context menu can be used.

    The example above shows how to show the context menu upon mouseover and mouseclick on different HTML DOM elements. In addition, the context menu uses custom coordinates to display at a specific position.

    You should use the showAt method of the context menu client-side object to show the menu at a pre-defined position, like: 

        var contextMenu = $find("<%= RadContextMenu1.ClientID %>");
    var x = parseInt($get("contextX").value);
    var y = parseInt($get("contextY").value);
    contextMenu.showAt(x, y);
