The items visible in the ContextMenu can be changed dynamically based on the target in which you open the ContextMenu. To achieve this behavior, initialize ContextMenu with all items using items property and then based on the context you open hide/show
required items using hideItems/showItems method in beforeOpen event.
In the following example, the datasource for Clipboard div is Cut, Copy, Paste and for the Editor div is Add, Edit, Delete is changed on beforeOpen event
using hideItems and showItems method.
ej.base.enableRipple(true);
var menuItems = [
{
text: 'Cut'
},
{
text: 'Copy'
},
{
text: 'Paste'
},
{
text: 'Add'
},
{
text: 'Edit'
},
{
text: 'Delete'
}];
var menuOptions = {
target: '#target .e-div',
items: menuItems,
beforeOpen: beforeOpen
};
// Initialize ContextMenu component.
var menuObj = new ej.navigations.ContextMenu(menuOptions, '#contextmenu');
function beforeOpen (args) {
if (args.event.target.id === 'right') {
menuObj.hideItems(['Cut', 'Copy', 'Paste']);
menuObj.showItems(['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete']);
} else if (args.event.target.id === 'left') {
menuObj.showItems(['Cut', 'Copy', 'Paste']);
menuObj.hideItems(['Add','Edit','Delete']);
}
