Angular Gantt - contextMenu.items

Configures context menu item settings.

Selector: dxi-item
Type:

Array<dxGanttContextMenuItem | GanttPredefinedContextMenuItem>

DevExtreme Gantt - Default Context Menu

To add a predefined item to the context menu, add its name and optional settings (for example, 'visible', 'text', and 'icon') to the items collection.

$(function () {
    $("#gantt").dxGantt({
        contextMenu: {
            items: [
                "addTask",
                "deleteTask",
                {
                    text: "Zoom",
                    items: [
                        "zoomIn",

DevExtreme Gantt - Predefined Context Menu Items

Custom Items

To add a custom context menu item, specify its text and optional settings (for example, name or category). Use the customCommand event to handle clicks on custom context menu items.

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function () {
    $("#gantt").dxGantt({
        contextMenu: {
            items: [
                {

                    items:[
                        {

Type:

template

Template Data:

CollectionWidgetItem

The item object to be rendered.

The following types of the specified value are available.

  • Assign a string containing the name of the required template.
  • Assign a jQuery object of the template's container.
  • Assign a DOM Node of the template's container.
  • Assign a function that returns the jQuery object or a DOM Node of the template's container.

The following example adds a custom item to the component. Note that Angular and Vue use custom templates instead of the template property. In React, specify the render or component properties.
