CygNet supports two kinds of right-click context menus to be added and configured in Studio: Standard context menus and Custom context menus.
Both types are configured using the same context menu configuration screen.
TheView and any object placed on TheView have a default Context Menu. The options on the menu are defined by CygNet Studio. The only option that can be removed is the Acknowledge Alarm; (see [AllowAlarmAck]) however, options can be added using the Context menu properties.
The properties that can be used to add custom items to a context menu are described below.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
|
A property of an object. Items defined by this property appear only on the object’s Context menu. |
|
|
[ContextMenuAutoSelect] |
A property of an object. Items defined by this property will automatically select tools for the duration of context menu operations (for example, while a context menu is being displayed, and while any invoked dialog boxes that resulted from the context menu being displayed). |
|
A property of TheView. Items defined by this property appear on the Context menu of all objects on TheView. |
|
|

An ActiveX and script property associated with one of the ActiveX controls that support context menus used to identify an XML string that defines the custom context menu. |
The event handlers that can be used to perform an action based on the configured Event ID and the calling object are described below.
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
|
An event handler that runs when one of the custom context menu items that is defined or overridden by this object is clicked. |

Scripting is required for an action to be performed. See Scripting in CygNet Studio for more information.
