Context Menu Properties

The "context menu" component controls the menu that pops up when clicking the right-hand mouse button. It gives your end users access to the most-used commands.

You can add your own menu items to the context menu thanks to the UI editor (click Edit Items).

When you select the "context menu" component in the "Components Used" list, the following properties are available.

  • DisableContextMenu: set it to True to remove the context menu.
  • DisableOpenLinkNewWindow: lets you disable the display of the "Open Link In New Window" menu item when users right-click on links in your webpages. ExeOutput for PHP handles secondary windows and pop-ups.
  • EnableShowSourceCode: may be useful for debugging purposes. The "Show Source Code" menu item will be displayed if this option is true, and this menu item lets you inspect the full source code of the currently displayed HTML page.
