Description

The OBJECT SET CONTEXT MENU command enables or disables, for the current process, the association of a context menu by default with the object(s) designated by the object and * parameters.

The "Context Menu" option is available for text type entry areas, Web areas and pictures. You can use it to associate a standard action menu with these objects depending on their type (for example Copy/Paste for text objects). For more information, refer to the Design Reference manual.

Passing the optional * parameter indicates that the object parameter is an object name (string). If you do not pass this parameter, it indicates that the object parameter is a field or variable. In this case, you pass a field or variable reference instead of a string (field or variable object only).

Pass True in the contextMenu parameter to enable the context menu, and False to disable it.
