About context (shortcut) menus for components
A context menu, or shortcut menu, is a global object that defines a standard right-click menu, which displays a list of commands. Each command is associated with an event in the menu definition. An event can be either a standard event or a user-defined event.
You can associate a context menu with any component. A context menu is activated when a user right-clicks the component.
