How to enable browser’s right-click menu for the entire application?

Answered

I’d like to enable the standard context menu provided by the browser anywhere in the application. I see that EnableNativeContextMenu is available, but it seems that it’s only for a control. I set it on the main form of my app and it doesn’t seem to do anything.

What am I missing?

Hi Matthew,

Check the sample in attachment.

I used a custom Theme when I set root and widget like precedent comment.

@Kevin, that doesn’t really work for my scenario. I wanted the ability when I am debugging in Visual Studio. E.g. something like

Application.EnableNativeContextMenu = Debugger.IsAttached

I did find a workaround that works in Firefox. Just hold down the Shift key before right-clicking – that gives me the native context menu. That works for me for the time being.

Hi Matthew,

You can create a mixin theme like this for enable native right click browser context menu :

For widgte(any control) : "widget": {states:{default:{properties:{nativeContextMenu:true}}}
For root page and window : "root": {states:{default:{properties:{nativeContextMenu:true}}}

Mixin doc : TagTextBox – Wisej.NET
