An object defining configuration properties for the ContextMenu UI component.
Specifies the shortcut key that sets focus on the UI component.
Selector: access-key
Default Value: undefined
The value of this property will be passed to the accesskey
attribute of the HTML element that underlies the UI component.
Specifies whether the UI component changes its visual state as a result of user interaction.
Selector: active-state-enabled
Default Value: true
The UI component switches to the active state when users press down the primary mouse button. When this property is set to true, the CSS rules for the active state apply. You can change these rules to customize the component.
Use this property when you display the component on a platform whose guidelines include the active state change for UI components.
Configures UI component visibility animations. This object contains two fields: show and hide.
Selector: DxAnimation
Default Value: { show: { type: 'fade', from: 0, to: 1, duration: 100 }, hide: { type: 'fade', from: 1, to: 0, duration: 100 } }
Set this object to null or undefined to disable animation.
Specifies the name of the CSS class to be applied to the root menu level and all submenus.
Selector: css-class
Default Value: ''
Use this property to customize the current menu in isolation from other menus created on the same page.
Binds the UI component to data.
Selector: data-source
Default Value: null
The ContextMenu works with collections of string
values or objects.
Depending on your data source, bind ContextMenu to data as follows. If the data source provides objects, also specify the itemTemplate. You can skip this part if the objects contain fields described in the items section.
Data Array
Assign the array to the dataSource option.
Read-Only Data in JSON Format
Set the dataSource property to the URL of a JSON file or service that returns JSON data.
OData
Implement an ODataStore.
Web API, PHP, MongoDB
Use one of the following extensions to enable the server to process data according to the protocol DevExtreme UI components use:
Then, use the createStore method to configure access to the server on the client as shown below. This method is part of DevExtreme.AspNet.Data.
jQuery$(function() { let serviceUrl = "https://url/to/my/service"; $("#contextMenuContainer").dxContextMenu({ // ... dataSource: DevExpress.data.AspNet.createStore({ key: "ID", loadUrl: serviceUrl + "/GetAction", insertUrl: serviceUrl + "/InsertAction", updateUrl: serviceUrl + "/UpdateAction", deleteUrl: serviceUrl + "/DeleteAction" }) }) });Angular

Any other data source
Implement a CustomStore.
Regardless of the data source on the input, the ContextMenu always wraps it in the DataSource object. This object allows you to sort, filter, group, and perform other data shaping operations. To get its instance, call the getDataSource() method.
Review the following notes about data binding:
Do not specify the items property if you specified the dataSource, and vice versa.
Field names cannot be equal to this
and should not contain the following characters: .
, :
, [
, and ]
.
ContextMenu does not execute dataSource.sort functions. To implement custom sorting logic, implement columns[].calculateSortValue.
Specifies whether the UI component responds to user interaction.
Specifies the name of the data source item field whose value defines whether or not the corresponding UI component item is disabled.
Selector: disabled-expr
Default Value: 'disabled'
Specifies the data field whose values should be displayed.
Selector: display-expr
Function parameters:The current item's data object.
Default Value: 'text'
Set this property to the name of a data field that provides displayed values...
... or to a function that returns the displayed value:
displayExpr: function(item) { // "item" can be null return item && 'ID: ' + item.id + ', Name: ' + item.name; }
Specifies the global attributes to be attached to the UI component's container element.
Selector: DxElementAttr
Default Value: {}
jQuery$(function(){ $("#contextMenuContainer").dxContextMenu({ // ... elementAttr: { id: "elementId", class: "class-name" } }); });Angular
<dx-context-menu ... [elementAttr]="{ id: 'elementId', class: 'class-name' }"> </dx-context-menu>

This property accepts a value of one of the following types:
Number
The height in pixels.
String
A CSS-accepted measurement of height. For example, "55px"

, "80%"
, "inherit"
.
Specifies whether to hide the UI component if a user clicks outside it.
Selector: hide-on-outside-click
true if the UI component should be hidden; otherwise false.
Default Value: true
The function passed to this property enables you to specify a custom condition for UI component hiding. For instance, you can prevent hiding until a user clicks a certain element.
jQuery$(function () { $("#contextMenuContainer").dxContextMenu({ // ... hideOnOutsideClick: function(e) { return e.target === $("#someElement").get()[0]; } }); });Angular
import { DxContextMenuModule } from "devextreme-angular"; // ... export class AppComponent { // ... hideOnOutsideClick(e) { return e.target === document.getElementById("someElement"); } } @NgModule({ imports: [ // ... DxContextMenuModule ], // ... })
<dx-context-menu ... [hideOnOutsideClick]="hideOnOutsideClick"> </dx-context-menu>Vue
<template> <DxContextMenu .... :hide-on-outside-click="hideOnOutsideClick"> </DxContextMenu> </template> <script> import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css'; import DxContextMenu from 'devextreme-vue/context-menu'; export default { components: { DxContextMenu }, methods: { hideOnOutsideClick (e) { return e.target === document.getElementById("someElement"); } } } </script>React
import React from 'react'; import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css'; import ContextMenu from 'devextreme-react/context-menu'; const hideOnOutsideClick = (e) => { return e.target === document.getElementById("someElement"); }; export default function App() { return ( <ContextMenu ... hideOnOutsideClick={hideOnOutsideClick}> </ContextMenu> ); }

Specifies whether the UI component changes its state when a user pauses on it.
Selector: hover-state-enabled
Default Value: true
Holds an array of menu items.
The items array can contain:
If you need to update the UI component items, reassign the entire items array as shown in the following example:
contextMenuInstance.option('items', newItems);
As an alternative to items, you can use the dataSource property. It accepts the DataSource object, whose underlying stores provide an API that allows you to update individual items without reassigning the entire item collection.
Do not use the items property if you use dataSource, and vice versa.
Specifies which data field contains nested items.
Selector: items-expr
Default Value: 'items'
Specifies a custom template for items.

Target type affects the initialization of the component's events:
undefined
This changes event propagation and the behavior of methods like stopPropagation().
AngularTarget type affects the initialization of the component's events:
undefined
This changes event propagation and the behavior of methods like stopPropagation().
VueTarget type affects the initialization of the component's events:
undefined
This changes event propagation and the behavior of methods like stopPropagation().
ReactTarget type affects the initialization of the component's events:
undefined
This changes event propagation and the behavior of methods like stopPropagation().
To align the ContextMenu against this element, use the position property.
When target is undefined
and showEvent is related to mouse/touch inputs (the default dxcontextmenu event), the component is displayed at the mouse cursor/touch location. If the showEvent value is not related to mouse/touch events, the component is displayed in the top-left corner of the page.
