The context menu contains a set of default commands: 'addTask', 'taskDetails', and 'deleteTask'. Use the contextMenu property to recreate the context menu items.

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.

jQuery

JavaScript

$(function () {
    $("#gantt").dxGantt({
        contextMenu: {

                "addTask",
                "deleteTask",
                {
                    text: "Zoom",
                    items: [
                        "zoomIn",
                        "zoomOut"
                    ]

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: {
