A ContextMenu object is a menu that shows when the user clicks with the right button on a control (desktop) or when a user taps and holds the pen over a control (device).

The menu is added to a specific control using a FormLib object.

One menu can be used by more than one control.

The context menu exposes one event, the Click event.

Using SelectedText or SelectedIndex properties you can find out which menu item was clicked.

Note that on the desktop a context menu will appear on the chosen control and all its child controls.

For example, if you add a context menu to a form it will show when you right click on any control on the form.

On the device it will show only when you tap and hold on the form itself.

Example:

'Add a FormLib object named FormLib1 and a ContextMenu object named Context1.

Sub Globals

End Sub

Sub App_Start

      Form1.Show

      FormLib1.New1("Form1",b4pobject(1))

      Context1.New1

      Context1.AddItem("Yes")

      Context1.AddItem("No")

      Context1.AddItem("-") 'Adds a separator

      Context1.AddItem("Maybe")

      FormLib1.AddContextMenu("TextBox1",Context1.Value)

End Sub

Sub Context1_Click

      Select Context1.SelectedText

            Case "Yes"

                  'Do something

            Case "No"

                  'Do something

            Case "Maybe"

                  'Do something

      End Select

End Sub
