Custom context menu items

The custom context menu items can be added by defining the contextMenuItems as a collection of ContextMenuItemModel. Actions for this customized items can be defined in the contextMenuClick event.

tagHelper
customcontextmenu.cs
@{ 
    List<object> ContextMenuitems = new List<object>();
    ContextMenuitems.Add(new { text = "Copy with headers", target= ".e-content", id = "copywithheader" });
 }

 <ejs-grid id="Grid" dataSource="@ViewBag.DataSource" contextMenuItems="ContextMenuitems" contextMenuClick="contextMenuClick" >     
    <e-grid-columns>
        <e-grid-column field="OrderID" headerText="Order ID" isPrimaryKey="true"  textAlign="Left"  width="125"></e-grid-column>
        <e-grid-column field="EmployeeID" headerText="Employee ID"   width="125" textAlign="Right" ></e-grid-column>
        <e-grid-column field="ShipName" headerText="Ship Name"  width="120"></e-grid-column>                 
        <e-grid-column field="ShipCity"  headerText="Ship City"   width="170"></e-grid-column>
        <e-grid-column field="CustomerID"  headerText="Customer ID" textAlign="Right"  width="150"></e-grid-column>
    </e-grid-columns>
</ejs-grid>

<script>
function contextMenuClick(args) {
    if (args.item.id === 'copywithheader') {
        this.copy(true);
    }
}
</script>
public IActionResult Index()
{
    var Order = OrderDetails.GetAllRecords();
    ViewBag.DataSource = Order;
    return View();
}

You can hide or show an item in context menu for specific area inside of grid by defining the Target property.
