WinStudio
A context, 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.
WinStudio provides a set of predefined context menus that present commands for launching standard events. The most commonly used commands on standard context menus include:
| Menu Command | Description |
| Add | Launches the Add/Details form defined for the component and initializes the form for the insertion of a new IDO item. |
| Details | Launches the Add/Details form defined for the component and initializes the form to the IDO item identified by the current value of the component. |
| Edit Grid Columns | Launches the Edit Grid Column Visibility and Order dialog box for the selected grid component. |
| Find | Launches the Find form defined for the component. |
| Help | Displays help defined for the component. |
| Properties | For graph components, displays the graph's Properties dialog box. |
The options supported on some of the standard context menus include:
