Sheet Selector

The sheet selector is a pager displayed under the spreadsheet document that allows you to switch between the different worksheets.

The sheet selector is represented by the RadSpreadsheetSheetSelector control, which is integrated in the ControlTemplate of the RadSpreadsheet. This article describes how to access and customize the selector.

The RadSpreadsheetSheetSelector control is located in the Telerik.Windows.Controls.Spreadsheet.Controls namespace. To access it in XAML, use the following namespace: xmlns:spreadsheetControls="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls.Spreadsheet.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Spreadsheet"

Hiding the Sheet Selector

By default the sheet selector component is displayed. To hide it, set the RadSpreadsheetSheetSelector.IsSheetSelectorVisible attached property on the RadSpreadsheet control to false.

Setting the IsSheetSelectorVisible property

<telerik:RadSpreadsheet spreadsheetControls:RadSpreadsheetSheetSelector.IsSheetSelectorVisible="False"/>

Hiding the Add Sheet Button

By default the sheet selector has a button displayed next to the worksheeet tabs that allows to add new worksheets in the document. To hide the button, set the RadSpreadsheetSheetSelector.IsAddButtonVisible attached property on the RadSpreadsheet control to false.

Setting the IsAddButtonVisible property

<telerik:RadSpreadsheet spreadsheetControls:RadSpreadsheetSheetSelector.IsAddButtonVisible="False"/>

Using the Tabs Context Menu

The worksheet tabs in the RadSpreadsheetSheetSelector have a built-in context menu which allows you to apply few different settings on the tab - rename, insert, delete, hide, etc.

Sheet selector's context menu

The context menu can be modified or accessed via the SheetSelectorContextMenu property of RadSpreadsheet.

Customizing the existing context menu

private void RadSpreadsheet_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) 
{ 
    var spreadsheet = (RadSpreadsheet)sender; 
 
    // remove the last two options 
    spreadsheet.SheetSelectorContextMenu.Items.RemoveAt(spreadsheet.SheetSelectorContextMenu.Items.Count - 1); 
    spreadsheet.SheetSelectorContextMenu.Items.RemoveAt(spreadsheet.SheetSelectorContextMenu.Items.Count - 1); 
 
    // add a new option 
    var newMenuItem = new RadMenuItem(); 
    newMenuItem.Header = "My option"; 
    newMenuItem.Click += (s, args) => 
    { 
        // implement the click logic here 
    }; 
    spreadsheet.SheetSelectorContextMenu.Items.Add(newMenuItem); 
} 

Replacing the context menu

<telerik:RadSpreadsheet> 
    <telerik:RadSpreadsheet.SheetSelectorContextMenu> 
        <telerik:RadContextMenu> 
            <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Option A" Click="OnOptionAClick"/> 
            <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Option B" Click="OnOptionBClick"/> 
        </telerik:RadContextMenu> 
    </telerik:RadSpreadsheet.SheetSelectorContextMenu> 
</telerik:RadSpreadsheet> 

Additional to that, the menu can be accessed with the GetContextMenu and SetContextMenu methods of RadSpreadsheetSheetSelector.

Using the GetContextMenu and SetContextMenu methods

private void RadSpreadsheet_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) 
{ 
    var spreadsheet = (RadSpreadsheet)sender; 
    var sheetSelector = spreadsheet.FindChildByType<RadSpreadsheetSheetSelector>(); 
 
    // getting the menu 
    RadContextMenu contextMenu = sheetSelector.GetContextMenu(); 
 
    // setting the menu 
    sheetSelector.SetContextMenu(newRadContextMenuInstance); 
}
