Hello,
I would like to link a context menu to a button so that when the user clicks the button, the context menu shows below it.
I'm going to label the button "Add New" and the context menu will be used to select from a few different types of items.
I was wondering how I can manually cause the contextmenu to show and be displayed below (or near) the "Add New" button.
Thanks

Hi, You will need to call this function: http://doc.essentialobjects.com/library/1/jsdoc.public.global.eo_showcontextmenu.aspxYou can call it from anywhere, for example, from your button's onclick handler:
Code: HTML/ASPX
<input type="button"
onclick="eo_ShowContextMenu(event, 'Menu1');" value="Test" />
Note you must replace "Menu1" with the ID of your context menu control. Thanks!

Thanks, that worked.
However, how can I position the context menu?

Hi,
You don't position it. The first parameter you pass to eo_ShowContextMenu is the DOM event object. It supposes to contain information about where your mouse is. The context menu is then automatically positioned based on your mouse position.
Thanks

You are correct that it is getting the event object from the mouseclick, however the location of the context menu isnt correct.
Its appearing much further up the screen.

Actually, the positioning problem only occurs in firefox.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
Please check what version you are using. We received your sample page and tested it with the latest version and it works fine on FireFox.
Thanks!
