Example
All popup menus in the Telerik UI for WinForms suite are managed by a PopupManager which internally uses an IMessageListener for the messages. You can disable the PopupManager to handle the popup menu by removing the popup from class. The following solution shows how to remove a certain drop down from the PopupManager's default mouse handling by calling the PopupManager.Default.RemovePopup(your drop-down menu).
public void DoSomething()
{
this.radDropDownButton1.DropDownOpened += RadDropDownButton1_DropDownOpened;
}
private void RadDropDownButton1_DropDownOpened(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PopupManager.Default.RemovePopup(this.radDropDownButton1.DropDownButtonElement.DropDownMenu);
}
Public Sub DoSomething()
AddHandler Me.radDropDownButton1.DropDownOpened, AddressOf RadDropDownButton1_DropDownOpened
End Sub
Private Sub RadDropDownButton1_DropDownOpened(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
PopupManager.Default.RemovePopup(Me.radDropDownButton1.DropDownButtonElement.DropDownMenu)
End Sub
The suggested above approach will need to be applied for each of the nested menu item's drop-down. Also, it would be necessary to take care of closing the popups, e.g. when an item is clicked.
