How to use the Context Menu

ContextMenu is a window flag option that shows the context menu when right-clicking on a window. It gives the user access to the devtools for the window or a reload option.

This is an updatable window option a developer can use to declutter or control a user's experience. If you would like to update what the user sees on right click, you will have to declare the contextMenuSettings option in your manifest or window option.  You can also do this in a view.

Note:

If you want to update what a user can do after it's been declared through the updateOptions API call, you need the devtools, enable, and reload properties in the update option object.

For example, if you are trying to rid the user's ability to access the devtools use the code below:

Code that works:

let window = fin.Window.getCurrentSync()
let newOptions = { contextMenuSettings: {enable: true, devtools: false, reload: true}}
await window.updateOptions(newOptions)

Code that doesn't work:

let window = fin.Window.getCurrentSync()
let newOptions = { contextMenuSettings: {devtools: false}}
await window.updateOptions(newOptions)
