Changes context menus

Context Menus#

Context menus are contextual menus that are shown when the user right-clicks on an element. Creating a context menu is the same as creating a standard menu , by using app.NewMenu(). To make the context menu available to a window, call window.RegisterContextMenu(name, menu). The name will be the id of the context menu and used by the frontend.

To indicate that an element has a context menu, add the data-contextmenu attribute to the element. The value of this attribute should be the name of a context menu previously registered with the window.

It is possible to register a context menu at the application level, making it available to all windows. This can be done using app.RegisterContextMenu(name, menu). If a context menu cannot be found at the window level, the application context menus will be checked. A demo of this can be found in v3/examples/contextmenus.
