I have a dynamically created popup menu (using it as a context menu - right click). For the most part it works fine. I have a few popup menus within it (dynamically added), which I can navigate through just fine. But, under certain circumstances, the menu will dissapear, even though the mouse is still over the menu.
If I:
1) Right click (brings up the context menu).
2) Move the mouse over one of the context menu options.
3) Hold the mouse still for a few seconds.
4) Move the mouse onto another menu option (Not a subitem of the current menu item - that will work fine).
5) context menu disappears.
Is there some setting I can use to stop this?
Thanks.
It sounds like a bug, but I was unable to reproduce it here. I would either recommend submitting it to the support group: http://es.infragistics.com/gethelp or if you could post a screenshot of your menu and highlight the first and second menu items hovered over, it might help me accurately recreate the problem. A video would be even better if possible.
I have a made a video showing the issue. In this video, please note that I am not clicking on the menu once it appears - it is going away on its own.
You should find it at http://www.mulley-chen.com/ContextMenuIssue.avi
I tried to more accurately reproduce the bug with the help of the video (I created a similar context menu and used it as the context menu for an UltraGrid), but I was still unable to reproduce the issue. From the video, I can see that you would also want to make sure you aren't handling the AfterToolCloseup event of the toolbars manager with any code that might end up closing the context menu. If you are handling that method, remove your code and see if the bug still occurs. If it does, or you are not handling that event, you should submit the issue to the support group.
This is still a problem (my fault - for some reason I didnt notice you had replied so I let this thread die).
The only ultraToolbarsManager event I'm handling is the ToolClick event.
When you tried to re-produce this, did you dynamically create the menu, or create it statically beforehand?
--- EDIT ---
Just to clarify - I have created a new sample app (to prove this to myself), and it seems that the behaviour is a little different between design time setup popup menus and run time setup popup menu's. The ones generated at run time have the problem I'm describing.
I have submitted this to support, but I'm not sure if they will help me - my support has expired between when I originally posted this and now.
Okay, so now I feel like a dork. This is not an issue. I should have experimented more, before I posted. The above code snippet will work, just if you are dynamically creating a context menu in a grid or similar control, you have to define the grid control as the docking container. See snippet below.
CMToolbarsManager.DockWithinContainer = ultraGrid1;CMToolbarsManager.ShowPopup("ROOT", (Control)sender, ((Control)sender).PointToScreen(Location));
I tried the DockWithinContainer and it does not help with the disappearing context menu. Again ours is dynamically built. Below is the code to popup the menu and then set the dockwithin. If I put the dockwithin before the .ShowPopup, the menu never displays.
CMToolbarsManager.ShowPopup("ROOT", (Control)sender, ((Control)sender).PointToScreen(Location));CMToolbarsManager.DockWithinContainer = this;
We are on 2010.3 and it is being used in the UltraGridControl. Any help will be appreciated.
I have had exactly the same problem. And I was happy to have it solved with a single line of code:
this.ultraToolbarsManager1.DockWithinContainer = this;
But now I am facing the same problem again: I use the UltraToolbarsManager on a UltraWinGrid.UltraGrid derived class for a context menu. And now that grid is hosted in a WindowsFormsHost on a WPF Window.
I Use NetAdvantage 2010.3
Is there a known solution to that case?
I got an answer from support (in case anyone else is having this problem)
Adding the line:
toolbarManager.DockWithinContainer = this;
Is all that was required.
