## Description

If not suppressed, this event is a dialog element whenever the user attempt to open a context menu for it, either via the keyboard (using a dedicated context menu key, or <Shift>+F10) or via the mouse (using the secondary mouse button).

The primary purpose of this event is to give the program the chance to set the CONTEXT-MENU attribute dynamically to the handle of the correct context menu to be displayed in the case where multiple candidate context menus exist. If the choice is dependent on the relative position within the control (as is typically the case), this information may be obtained via the INQ-CLICKPOSITION action.

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