How to override the default ContextMenu? - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 21 years ago by shark92651

I am trying to get SyntaxEditor to work withe Developer's Express menus. When I right-click the editor, I get a "default" context menu and not the DevEx menu I assigned. I then tried just using a standard Windows.Forms ContextMenu and assigned it to the ContextMenu property - this one does not display either. How can I override the default behavior and get this to work?

Thanks

If you assign a ContextMenu to the ContextMenu property it shows properly. I just tried it myself with this code:

ContextMenu m = new ContextMenu();
m.MenuItems.Add(new MenuItem("TEST"));
editor.ContextMenu = m;

If you want to use a third-party menu, set the DefaultContextMenuEnabled to false and display the third-party menu in the ContextMenuRequested event.
