To reproduce: - Add RadTreeView to a blank form. - Set its AllowDragDrop and AllowDefaultContextMenu properties to true. - Clear the menu items in the ContextMenuOpening event. - You will notice that the Copy, Cut and Paste items are not removed. Workaround: void radTreeView1_ContextMenuOpening(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.TreeViewContextMenuOpeningEventArgs e) { e.Menu.DropDownOpened -= Menu_DropDownOpened; e.Menu.DropDownOpened += Menu_DropDownOpened; } void Menu_DropDownOpened(object sender, EventArgs e) { TreeViewDefaultContextMenu Menu = sender as TreeViewDefaultContextMenu; for (int i = Menu.Items.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--) { if (Menu.Items[i].Name == "Copy" || Menu.Items[i].Name == "Cut" || Menu.Items[i].Name == "Paste") { Menu.Items.Remove(Menu.Items[i]); } } }
