This classes exposes no properties.

Examples

Xojo WebListBox

To implement in the MouseUp event, you must provide the X and Y parameters for where the menu should appear. 

if Details.Button = 2 then
  gwcmDemo.ShowMenu( me, me.left + X, me.top + Y )
end if

Styles

GraffitiWebContextMenuItems have a Style property, to which you can assign a WebStyle. If this is the top-level item used in the AddMenu call, then that style is used to style the backdrop of the contextmenu and all sub-menus. If it is an item within the top-level or sub- menu, then it is used to style the individual item.

Unbound Menus

To create an unbound menu (one which is not attached to a control), you simply call the AddMenu overloaded method: 

dim unattachedMenu as new GraffitiWebContextMenuItem( "unattachedMenu" )
unattachedMenu.Children.Append( new GraffitiWebContextMenuItem( "unattached1", "Item 1" ) )
unattachedMenu.Children.Append( new GraffitiWebContextMenuItem( "unattached2", "Item 2" ) )
gwcmDemo.AddMenu( "unattachedMenu", unattachedMenu )

And to show this menu: 

gwcmDemo.ShowMenu( "unattachedMenu" )

This method is recommended for instances where you wish to have multiple menus tied to a single control.
