## Detailed Description

This class is used for context menu events, sent to give the application a chance to show a context (popup) menu for a wxWindow.

Note that if wxContextMenuEvent::GetPosition returns wxDefaultPosition, this means that the event originated from a keyboard context button event, and you should compute a suitable position yourself, for example by calling wxGetMousePosition().

Notice that the exact sequence of mouse events is different across the platforms. For example, under MSW the context menu event is generated after `EVT_RIGHT_UP` event and only if it was not handled but under GTK the context menu event is generated after `EVT_RIGHT_DOWN` event. This is correct in the sense that it ensures that the context menu is shown according to the current platform UI conventions and also means that you must not handle (or call wxEvent::Skip() in your handler if you do have one) neither right mouse down nor right mouse up event if you plan on handling `EVT_CONTEXT_MENU` event.

## Events using this class

The following event handler macros redirect the events to member function handlers 'func' with prototypes like:

void handlerFuncName(wxContextMenuEvent& event)

Event macros:

- EVT_CONTEXT_MENU(func):
  A right click (or other context menu command depending on platform) has been detected.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ wxContextMenuEvent()

wxContextMenuEvent::wxContextMenuEvent | ( | wxEventType | type = `wxEVT_NULL`,
|  | int | id = `0`,
|  | const wxPoint & | pos = `wxDefaultPosition`
| ) |  |

Constructor.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ GetPosition()

const wxPoint& wxContextMenuEvent::GetPosition | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the position in screen coordinates at which the menu should be shown.

Use wxWindow::ScreenToClient to convert to client coordinates.

You can also omit a position from wxWindow::PopupMenu in order to use the current mouse pointer position.

If the event originated from a keyboard event, the value returned from this function will be wxDefaultPosition.

## ◆ SetPosition()

void wxContextMenuEvent::SetPosition | ( | const wxPoint & | point | ) |

Sets the position at which the menu should be shown.
