1. Disable the Default Context Menu

To turn off context menus, you can choose one of the following methods:

1. Using the Editor.EnableContextMenu Property to specify whether the context menu is enabled.

2. Edit context menu configuration files .

All the context menu configuration files can be found in the cuteeditor_files/Configuration/ContextMenuMode folder. In the context menu configuration files, you can find the contextmenu element which contains the configuration information for the context menus within CuteEditor.

To turn off context menus, you need to disable all of the context menu groups.

Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<contextmenus>
<ref name="Undo" />
<spliter />
<ref name="Cut" />
<ref name="Copy" />
<ref name="Paste" />
<ref name="Delete" />
<spliter />
<ref name="SelectAll" />
<ref name="EditGroup" />
<ref name="FormattingGroup" />
<ref name="InsertGroup" />
<special type="tags"/>
<special type="verbs"/>
<special type="relative"/>
<special type="style" />
<special type="property" />
</contextmenus>
</configuration>

2. Disable the default context menu of the browser

To turn off context menus of the browser, you need to set Editor.EnableBrowserContextMenu Property to false.

Example:

<%
Dim editor
Set editor = New CuteEditor
editor.ID= "Editor1"
editor.EnableContextMenu = "false"
editor.EnableBrowserContextMenu = "false"
editor.Text = "Hello World"
editor.Draw()
%>

3. Load the different configuration file dynamically using Editor.ContextMenuMode property.

Example:

<%
Dim editor
Set editor = New CuteEditor
editor.ID= "Editor1"
editor.ContextMenuMode = "Simple"
editor.Text = "Hello World"
editor.Draw()
%>

4. Disable the context menu group by modifying the context menu configuration files

For example, to disable edit group menu, you need to remove the following code:

<ref name="EditGroup" />

5. Modify the context menu definition file.

The context menu definition file (Common.config) can be found in the cuteeditor_files/Configuration/Shared folder. The context menu definition influences the available context menu items and the order of the context menu items. You can easily customize the context menu to address your unique needs.

For example, to modify EditGroup menu, you need to change the following code:

<define name="EditGroup" text="[[Edit]]">
   <subItems>
    <ref name="Undo" />
    <ref name="Redo" />
    <spliter />
    <ref name="SelectAll" />
    <ref name="PasteText" />
    <ref name="PasteWord" />
    <spliter />
    <ref name="ToggleBorder" />
    <ref name="FromFullPage" />
    <ref name="ToFullPage" />
   </subItems>
   <initializer>
   <![CDATA[
   ]]>
   </initializer>
  </define>
