Property Value

Type	Description
TreeListHitInfo

An object that contains information about a visual element.

Remarks

The Tree List shows a context menu when the user right-clicks within the following areas:

Column Header — the control shows the Column Header Context Menu if the EnableColumnMenu option is enabled. The menu contains commands related to columns: sorting, filtering, etc.
Node — the control shows the Node Context Menu if the EnableNodeMenu option is enabled. The menu contains commands related to nodes: expand, collapse, create a new node, etc.
Group Footer, Summary Footer — the control shows the Footer Context Menu if the EnableFooterMenu option is enabled. The menu contains commands related to summaries: sum, min, average, etc.
Empty Area — the menu invoked with a right-click below the tree list’s nodes. The default empty-area context menu does not contain any commands. Use the PopupMenuShowing event to populate the menu.

The HitInfo and MenuType event arguments allow you to determine the clicked visual element and the type of the menu that is about to be displayed.

Example

The following code sample uses the the TreeList.PopupMenuShowing event to invoke a custom context menu when a user right-clicks a column header:

C#
VB.NET

csharp

void TreeList1_PopupMenuShowing(object sender, PopupMenuShowingEventArgs e) {
    if (e.MenuType == TreeListMenuType.Column) {
        popupMenu_Column.Tag = e.HitInfo;
        popupMenu_Column.MenuCaption = $"{e.HitInfo.Column}";

        e.ShowCustomMenu(popupMenu_Column);
    }
}
TreeListHitInfo GetHitInfo(BarItemLink link) {
    PopupMenu menu = link.LinkedObject as PopupMenu;
    return menu.Tag as TreeListHitInfo;
}
void barButtonItem_Filter_ItemClick(object sender, DevExpress.XtraBars.ItemClickEventArgs e) {
    TreeListHitInfo info = GetHitInfo(e.Link);
    info.Column.TreeList.ShowFilterEditor(info.Column);
}

void barButtonItem_ColumnChooser_ItemClick(object sender, DevExpress.XtraBars.ItemClickEventArgs e) {
    TreeListHitInfo info = GetHitInfo(e.Link);
    info.Column.TreeList.ShowCustomization();
}

Private Sub TreeList1_PopupMenuShowing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As PopupMenuShowingEventArgs)
    If e.MenuType = TreeListMenuType.Column Then
        popupMenu_Column.Tag = e.HitInfo
        popupMenu_Column.MenuCaption = $"{e.HitInfo.Column}"

        e.ShowCustomMenu(popupMenu_Column)
    End If
End Sub

Private Function GetHitInfo(ByVal link As BarItemLink) As TreeListHitInfo
    Dim menu As PopupMenu = TryCast(link.LinkedObject, PopupMenu)
    Return TryCast(menu.Tag, TreeListHitInfo)
End Function

Private Sub barButtonItem_Filter_ItemClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DevExpress.XtraBars.ItemClickEventArgs)
    Dim info As TreeListHitInfo = GetHitInfo(e.Link)
    info.Column.TreeList.ShowFilterEditor(info.Column)
End Sub

Private Sub barButtonItem_ColumnChooser_ItemClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DevExpress.XtraBars.ItemClickEventArgs)
    Dim info As TreeListHitInfo = GetHitInfo(e.Link)
    info.Column.TreeList.ShowCustomization()
End Sub
