context_menu
Description:
Emitted when a context menu is about to be displayed to give the application a chance to customize the proposed menu, prevent the menu from being displayed, or build its own context menu.
<itemizedlist> <listitem><para> To customize the proposed menu you can use
prepend,
append or
insert to add new
ContextMenuItem<!-- -->s to context_menu,
move_item to reorder existing items, or
remove to remove an existing item. The signal handler should return
false, and the menu represented by context_menu will be shown. </para></listitem>
<listitem><para> To prevent the menu from being displayed you can just connect to this signal and return
true so that the proposed menu will not be shown. </para></listitem> <listitem><para>
To build your own menu, you can remove all items from the proposed menu with
remove_all, add your own items and return
false so that the menu will be shown. You can also ignore the proposed
ContextMenu, build your own
Menu and return true to prevent the proposed menu from
being shown. </para></listitem> <listitem><para> If you just want the default menu to be shown always, simply don't
connect to this signal because showing the proposed context menu is the default behaviour. </para></listitem> </itemizedlist>
