ContextMenu Event
Windows - Visual C++

Description
The ContextMenu event is fired when an item in the control's context menu is selected.

DispId 0x03

Syntax
void OnContextMenu(int menuID, int position);

The ContextMenu syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
menuID	A short integer containing the menu ID of the menu containing the selected item.
position	A short integer containing the position of the selected menu item. Position is one-based.

Remarks
The context menu is the menu that appears when you right click on the control. You can turn it on or off by setting the ContextMenuEnabled property. The context menu is initially empty; you add your preferred menu items to it using the ContextMenuItem methods.

The menuID parameter indicates whether to address the main context menu or a submenu. The menuID of the main context menu is always 0. The menuID of a submenu is returned when the submenu is created with AppendContextMenuSubmenu or InsertContextMenuSubmenu. Note that this menuID has no relation to any ID used by the Windows API.
