If I add a target element after initialization, the ContextMenu cannot be opened for it. It seems like the ContextMenu cannot work with dynamic targets.
Reproduction: https://blazorrepl.telerik.com/wyaKvxaM02UinTjJ35.

ADMIN EDIT

A possible workaround is to dispose and recreate the ContextMenu after adding the new element during runtime: https://blazorrepl.telerik.com/coaUvdYs153SKyiQ29.
When the menu shows on its own (it has a Selector and you right click that element), it tracks the z-index of other Telerik popups and has an inline z-index rule. This does not happen when you show it via its API (.ShowAsync()).
-----
ADMIN EDIT
A workaround could be using a CSS CLass to set a higher z-index to it, but there is an issue with that where it does not render high enough in the DOM: https://feedback.telerik.com/blazor/1514877-css-class-does-not-render-on-the-topmost-element. You can Vote for that and Follow it as well, and it contains a CSS workaround you can consider for this issue too. Note that it will affect all animation containers on the page.
Basic reproducible - showing a context menu on a grid row in a Window - the context menu is not visible behind the window (you can only see it partially in the last 1-2 rows).

If you open a child menu via the keyboard, you can then hover over another parent and open a second submenu. The problem can be reproduced in the live demo.

The issue targets the Menu component as well.
Try to click an item in the context menu by clicking the icon instead of the text. The click doesn't register. It happens only with SVG icons.
Example use case is to have a context menu bound to a form item. The form item would re-render on submit that would change the dom element.

Workaround: https://blazorrepl.telerik.com/mxkxwHOr08fcjSKK39
Hello,
Please consider an OnHide event for the ContextMenu. Here is a scenario - the target's styles change when the Menu opens. There is no reliable built-in event that one can use to revert the styles back. The user can click on a Menu item, but they can also click somewhere else or hit Escape.
Currently, a possible workaround is to listen for clicks and keypresses on the document with JavaScript:
Based on the sample app "BlazingCoffee" (where you can reproduce this bug), when I add a ContextMenu in the grid Sales, using OnRowContextMenu of TelerikGrid, there's an asynchrony in the behavior of telerik-blazor.js when it open the popup of the ContextMenu and when it try to focus it.
The bug consists in the fact that when I have a vertically long grid, with an active scrollbar, if I right-click on the first row to open the ContextMenu, the app first try to focus it, does not find it, then scroll the page to the bottom and after all this it open the popup of the ContextMenu in the right position. So you need to scroll back to row where you right-clicked to visualize the ContextMenu.
In general, it try always to focus to the first element of the ContextMenu and after that it open the new ContextMenu in the right position, letting it focus the page in the wrong position.
WORKAROUND:
To solve this wrong behavior I deleted the last line of code of the method "focusFirstMenuItem" of "telerik-blazor.js". If I remove "t&&t.focus()", the ContextMenu works perfectly, without unwanted scrolling.
I hope you can resolve this soon.

P.S. Telerik version: 2.24.0
The Class does not render on the topmost element so you can't properly set css rules like z-index to the context menu.
A workaround is to set a higher z-index to all animation containers with a rule like this:
.k-animation-container {
z-index: 987654;
}
When using Template there's no way to trigger a close of the ContextMenu when clicking inside the template.

ADMIN EDIT
Marked as duplicated, because the feature will be implemented in ContextMenu and Menu component at once. For better tracking, we will keep the item logged for the Menu component.
Sample workaround:
@inject IJSRuntime _js
<script suppress-error="BL9992">
function hideMenu(menuClass) {
setTimeout(function () {
var menuParent = document.querySelector("." + menuClass);
if (menuParent) {
menuParent.dispatchEvent(new KeyboardEvent('keydown', { 'key': 'Escape' }));
}
}, 50);
}
</script>
<div class="menuTarget">
right click this target
</div>
<style>
.menuTarget {
width: 100px;
background: yellow;
margin: 50px;
}
</style>
<TelerikContextMenu Data="@MenuItems" @ref="@TheContextMenu" Selector=".menuTarget" Class="@menuClass">
<Template>
<TelerikButton OnClick="@HideMenu">Hide Menu</TelerikButton>
</Template>
</TelerikContextMenu>
@code {
string menuClass = "my-context-menu";
async Task HideMenu()
{
await _js.InvokeVoidAsync("hideMenu", menuClass);
}
// sample data binding
public List<ContextMenuItem> MenuItems { get; set; }
TelerikContextMenu<ContextMenuItem> TheContextMenu { get; set; }
bool UseSpecialMenu { get; set; }
async Task ShowContextMenu(MouseEventArgs e)
{
await TheContextMenu.ShowAsync(e.ClientX, e.ClientY);
}
// generate sample data for the listview and the menu
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
MenuItems = new List<ContextMenuItem>()
{
new ContextMenuItem
{
Text = "More Info",
Metadata = "info"
},
new ContextMenuItem
{
Text = "Special Command",
Metadata = "special"
}
};
base.OnInitialized();
}
public class ContextMenuItem
{
public string Text { get; set; }
public string Metadata { get; set; }
}
}

Please allow the context menu to be used without a data source and run using templates only.
That way we can use this control to provide a popup of items that we can control, and don't have to set it up with sometime of blank list of items that are never used.
