Object: MenuPoint

The MenuPoint object provides an item in the context menu.

Note To test the following example script, you must first save the script and register the script as a user command in the dialog box that opens when you select Settings»Extensions»User Commands.

The following example executes the MyNavigatorOnShowingContextMenu user command when you open the context menu in DIAdem NAVIGATOR and the MyViewOnShowingContextMenu user command when you open the context menu in DIAdem VIEW. These user commands add a new entry to the existing context menus when you open the context menu in the browser, the search results list, the axis system, or the channel table.
When you click one of the defined context menu items, the example executes the MyNavigatorOnContextMenuPointSelected user command or the MyViewOnContextMenuPointSelected user command and displays the selected item in a message.
