Context Menu

This document covers the following topics:


Description

The context menu allows you to define menus which appear when the user clicks a dialog or dialog element with the right mouse button. You can retrieve the position of the click via the INQ-CLICKPOSITION action, should this be necessary.

Context menus are defined separately from the dialog elements and associated with the relevant dialog element(s) via the CONTEXT-MENU attribute. The context menu can be modified before it is displayed via the Before-Open Event.

The context menu is constructed and handled almost identically to the submenu control. Like the submenu control, a context menu can contain menu items which open up submenus when selected. Each submenu in such a multi-level context menu receives its own Before-Open Event each time the submenu is displayed.
