The event data class exposes the following methods:

Method	Description
InvokeEventHandler(Delegate, Object)	When overridden in a derived class, provides a way to invoke event handlers in a type-specific way, which can increase efficiency over the base implementation. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.

Remarks

The GridControl‘s pop-up menus allow users to manage data (apply grouping and sorting, display summaries, and so on) and customize the View (show and hide its UI elements). All these context menus can be customized.

For information on how you can customize context menus, see Context Menus.

Example

The following example removes an item from the Total Summary panel‘s context menu:

    }
}

Sub ShowGridMenu(sender As Object, e As GridMenuEventArgs)
