The Grid has options to show the context menu when right clicked on it. To enable this feature, you need to define either default or custom item in the contextMenuItems.

To use the context menu, inject the ContextMenuService in the provider section of AppModule.

The default items are in the following table.

Items	Description
`AutoFit`	Auto fit the current column.
`AutoFitAll`	Auto fit all columns.
`Edit`	Edit the current record.
`Delete`	Delete the current record.
`Save`	Save the edited record.
`Cancel`	Cancel the edited state.
`Copy`	Copy the selected records.
`PdfExport`	Export the grid data as Pdf document.
`ExcelExport`	Export the grid data as Excel document.
`CsvExport`	Export the grid data as CSV document.
`Group`	Group the current column.
`Ungroup`	Ungroup the current column.
`SortAscending`	Sort the current column in ascending order.
