The ASP.NET toolkit has a hover menu, please refer to:

http://www.asp.net/AJAX/AjaxControlToolkit/Samples/HoverMenu/HoverMenu.aspx

How could I implement this on the EO grid? Or, is there something within EO or a feature of the grid that would provide same/similar?

That is, let's say I am looking at a grid and want to choose a row to specify (select, edit or delete). Or maybe it's (approve, reject, forward).

I don't want these words in cells. I certainly could use a ComboBox in a cell to provide these choices (probably what I'll do).

But to just mouse however over the row and get the Select, Edit, Delete options would be nice. Or, a right-click menu would also be nice. Can that be done within EO controls? (I'd rather not use another DLL if I can avoid it.)

Any ideas?

Here you go:

Hover menu can be done, but it's probably not a good idea to have hover menu and in place editing at the same time. User will get really annoyed when they see the menu always popup while all they wanted to do is to select/edit a cell.

Thanks!

"Context Menu" -- right.

When I saw this the first time, I didn't realize I was supposed to right-click.

I get it now -- perfect!
