Context Menu in WPF Pivot Grid

27 Feb 20251 minute to read

The WPF Pivot Grid supports the context menu option in RowPivotsOnly mode. Following are the available options.

• Allow Filtering: Enables or disables filtering in the selected pivot computation column.
• Allow Sorting: Enables or disables sorting in the selected pivot computation column.
• HideValueColumn: Hides the selected pivot computation column.
• ClearValueFilters: Clears the filtered changes in all pivot computation columns.
• ClearValueSorts: Clears the sorted values in all pivot computation columns.
• ShowPivotValueChooser: Launches the pivot value chooser window to add or remove the items in pivot grid.

The EnableContextMenu property is used to display the context menu by right-clicking each column.

To do so, after defining the pivot grid control in RowPivotsOnly mode, raise the loaded event of pivot grid. Inside the PivotGrid_Loaded() event, set the EnableContextMenu property.

C#

public partial class MainWindow: Window {
    public MainWindow() {
        InitializeComponent();
        pivotGrid.Loaded += pivotGrid_Loaded;
    }

    void pivotGrid_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
        pivotGrid.RowHeaderCellStyle.EnableContextMenu = true;
        pivotGrid.ColumnHeaderCellStyle.EnableContextMenu = true;
    }
}
