Syntax

C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overridable Property AutoMenu As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As SuperEditBase
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.AutoMenu = value
 
value = instance.AutoMenu

public virtual bool AutoMenu {get; set;}

Property Value

Boolean value: true for the control to automatically use the drop-down menu; false otherwise

Remarks

If this property is set to true, when the user clicks the right mouse button while the pointer is over the control at run time, the control displays a pop-up menu. You can create a custom menu using the ContextMenu property. The default menu has the basic edit operations listed in the following table.

Menu Item	Shortcut Keys	Function
Undo	Ctrl+U	Removes the last edit
Cut	Ctrl+X	Cuts text to the Clipboard
Copy	Ctrl+C	Copies text to the Clipboard
Paste	Ctrl+P	Pastes text from the Clipboard
Delete	Ctrl+D	Removes text
Select All	Ctrl+A	Highlights all text in the control

Any operation that is not available is grayed out (disabled) in the menu.

Example

control.EditModeCursorPosition = FarPoint.Win.EditModeCursorPosition.LastKnownPosition;
control.Text = "This is a test for HideSelection";
control.ControlType = FarPoint.Win.ControlType.Normal;
control.SelectionStart = 2;
control.SelectionLength = 5;
control.Selectable = true;
control.HideSelection = false;
control.AutoMenu = true;
textBox1.Text = control.SelectedText();
control.MaxLength = 9;
