# CONTEXT MENU

Specifies the handle of the context menu associated with the dialog or dialog element. A value of NULL-HANDLE indicates that no context menu assigned. The context menu specified here overrides any default context menu displayed by the system. Note that, for table controls, the specified context menu is not displayed for a cell which is being edited. For MDI frames, the context menu applies to the MDI client area.

Before this attribute is evaluated by Natural, the dialog or dialog element receives a Context-Menu Event (if not suppressed), allowing dynamic assignment to this attribute and, hence, dynamic context menu selection.

Note
For some ActiveX controls, depending on their internal implementation, the associated context menu may not be displayed when the user attempts to invoke it. However, if the control offers a MouseDown event (or equivalent), this event may be used to open a specific context menu explicitly via the SHOW-CONTEXT-MENU action.

For more information, please refer to the article Defining and Using Context Menus.
