i want to add custom menu items to grid column header - which i can do, but apparently it's available only if the custom menu is available. but if i don't want my columns to be sortable or hideable, the custom menu isn't displayed. the way in which i create my custom menu is as follows:

    var menu = Ext.getCmp('pairsGrid').headerCt.getMenu();
    var customEls = menu.add([{
        xtype: 'menu',
        floating: false,
        items:[
            {
                text: 'Management',
                iconCls: 'edit',
                menu: {
                    xtype: "menu",
                    items: [
                        {
                            text: 'Start'
                        },{
                            text: 'Stop'
                        }
                    ]
                }                   
            }
        ]
    }]);

if in my columns config i have sortable: false and hideable: false my custom menu won't be displayed; otherwise, it's there. is there any other way to create the menu, or somehow have it visible without the default menu? cheers, eRez

You can force menu to be visible by overriding beforeRender method on column:

{
    text     : 'xxx',
    sortable : false,
    hideable : false,
    dataIndex: 'xxx',
    beforeRender: function() {
        Ext.grid.column.Column.prototype.beforeRender.call(this);
        this.menuDisabled = false;
    }
},
