Event Data

The ShowLayoutTreeViewContextMenu event's data class is LayoutMenuEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
Allow	Gets or sets whether the menu is allowed to be displayed. Inherited from PopupMenuShowingEventArgs.
HitInfo	Contains information on the clicked point within the Layout Control. Inherited from PopupMenuShowingEventArgs.
Menu	Gets or sets the menu that is about to be displayed. Inherited from PopupMenuShowingEventArgs.
Point	Gets the point at which the menu is about to be displayed. Inherited from PopupMenuShowingEventArgs.

Remarks

The event fires before the Layout Tree View Context Menu is displayed. It allows you to customize the menu and prevent it from being displayed. To customize the menu use the event’s Menu parameter. You can add new items, which are represented by the DXMenuItem class objects and its descendants, to the menu or remove the existing menu items.

To prevent the menu from being invoked set the Allow parameter to false.

Example

This example handles the LayoutControl.LayoutTreeViewPopupMenuShowing event to add a command to the Layout Tree View Context Menu to toggle the Bold font attribute of the item text.
