Menu Control

A context menu – a vertical list of items – can be bound to a component and displayed by long-pressing, clicking, or right-clicking the component.

NOTE

• The APIs of this module are supported since API version 7. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

• CustomBuilder does not support the use of bindMenu and bindContextMenu methods. To display a multi-level menu, use the <Menu> component instead.

• The text in the context menu cannot be selected by long-pressing.
