Configuring a custom context menu

From DataMiner 9.6.4 onwards, it is possible to configure a custom context menu for a specific shape in Visio.

To do so, add the ContextMenu shape data to the shape. For now, the only supported action for this context menu is to copy the shape text, even if the shape is part of a disabled group shape. For this, the following value needs to be specified:

Shape data field	Value
ContextMenu	MenuItem:Action=CopyShapeText

From DataMiner 9.6.7 onwards, to make sure that this action becomes the default action when a user left-clicks the shape, you can add IsDefaultAction=True:

Shape data field	Value
ContextMenu	MenuItem:Action=CopyShapeText,IsDefaultAction=True

Note

From DataMiner 9.6.4 onwards, if a shape contains text, by default a context menu item is available that allows users to copy the shape text. As such, in most cases it will not be necessary to specify these shape data to get the context menu.
