How to detect (right) click in column header

[User (Old forums)]

Hi everyone,

Please excuse if this has been covered before, but I looked through the forums and couldn’t see anything.

I am trying to offer the users of my app the ability to right click on any of the column headers to show a ‘customize columns’ context menu.
My problem is I can’t get a click event to work for the headers.

ColumnManagerRow1.Click doesn’t seem to be it.
Anyone have an idea of where I should be looking?

I already have a different context menu setup for when a user right clicks an entry in the actual grid (one of the cells).

Thanks in advance,

Richard.

1. If a row contains cells (ColumnManagerRow, DataRow, CellRow, …), you can’t catch any mouse events on the row itself: you have to catch mouse events on the individual cells.
2. To catch a right-click event, you can’t use the Click-event: you should use the MouseDown-event and check if the right mouse button was used.

I’ve had success casting EventArgs to MouseEventArgs in the <b>Click</b> event handler to obtain the status of the mouse button. For example:

if (((MouseEventArgs)e.)Button == MouseButton.Right)
{
// handle right-click
}
