ShowContextMenu Method

Summary

Displays the automation context menu.

Syntax

C#
VB
C++
public virtual void ShowContextMenu( 
   Point pos 
) 
  
Public Overridable Sub ShowContextMenu( _ 
   ByVal pos As Point _ 
)  
public: 
virtual void ShowContextMenu(  
   Point pos 
)  

Parameters

pos
A System.Drawing.Point object that specifies the coordinates at which to display the menu. These coordinates are specified relative to the client coordinates of the automation control.

Remarks

This method will display the context menu in AnnAutomationManager.ContextMenu. This AnnAutomation will call this method when the user right-clicks the mouse cursor anywhere in the Container surface but not on any of the objects currently in the container. You can call this method to show this context menu manually (for example, as a result from clicking on a certain menu item in your application).

If the AnnAutomationManager.ContextMenu value is null (Nothing in VB), this method will not do anything.

If a click is on an object, this AnnAutomation object will call the ShowObjectContextMenu method instead.

Call the CanShowObjectContextMenu property to determine if the AnnAutomation is currently in a state where the object context menu can be shown

Example

C#
VB
using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Annotations; 
using Leadtools.WinForms; 
using Leadtools.Drawing; 
 
public void AnnAutomation_ShowContextMenu(AnnAutomation automation) 
{ 
   // show the context menu at the current cursor coordinates 
   Point pos = Cursor.Position; 
   pos = automation.Viewer.PointToClient(pos); 
   automation.ShowContextMenu(pos); 
} 
Imports Leadtools 
Imports Leadtools.Annotations 
Imports Leadtools.WinForms 
Imports Leadtools.Drawing 
 
Public Sub AnnAutomation_ShowContextMenu(ByVal automation As AnnAutomation) 
   ' show the context menu at the current cursor coordinates 
   Dim pos As Point = Cursor.Position

   automation.ShowContextMenu(pos) 
End Sub
