How to show the context menu while adding a new record using addNewRow in WinForms DataGrid?
While adding a new records in WinForms DataGrid (SfDataGrid) does not provide the direct support to showing Context Menu in AddNewRow. You can achieve your requirement by customizing the MouseUp event in SfDataGrid.TableControl.
sfDataGrid.TableControl.MouseUp += SfDataGrid_MouseUp;
//Get the record context while AddingNewRow menu by customization
private void SfDataGrid_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
// get the row and column index based on the pointer position
var rowColIndex = sfDataGrid.TableControl.PointToCellRowColumnIndex(e.Location);
//Check the condition is AddNewRow and Only show the context menu while pressing right button of Mouse
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right && sfDataGrid.IsAddNewRowIndex(rowColIndex.RowIndex) && this.sfDataGrid.RecordContextMenu != null && !rowColIndex.IsEmpty)
{
ContextMenuStrip contextMenu = null;
//set the Record contextMenu for AddNewRow
contextMenu = this.sfDataGrid.RecordContextMenu;
//get the location
var location = this.sfDataGrid.TableControl.PointToScreen(e.Location);
if (contextMenu != null)
{
//show the ContextMenu for AddNewRow
contextMenu.Show(location);
}
}
}
