ContextMenu - code complete!

Sunday, February 15, 2004

I finished off some of the rough edges of ContextMenu tonight and have to say that I am quite impressed with the result. Although, I have to say that this will be the last control that I build using VB until Whidbey; the sad part of this story is that after spending 5 or 6 hours working on it I am unable to get VBCommenter to successfully emit Xml based on my code comments.

Here is a picture of a datagrid with a ContextMenuLink control embedded in the first column. This allows me to have context menu's with specific data for each row in a grid:

ContextMenu bound inside a datagrid.

I'm uploading the control (+ source) to GotDotNet tonight so, hopefully it will appear online in a couple of days. Obviously the .chm will not be present for this release :( I'm planning to produce a Html tutorial for the control later this week.
