Creating Context Menus for Fields

All form fields except cyclic, frame, and separator fields have a context menu, that is, a pop-up menu, which is displayed when you right-click on the field. Context menus are associated with form fields through the following properties:

To set a context menu for a field,

  1. Create a context menu with either hiCreateSimpleMenu or hiCreateMenu.
  2. Set the hiContextMenu property on the field.
  3. (Optional) If you want to set a callback for the context menu, which starts just before the context menu is displayed, set the hiShowContextMenuCallback property on the field.
