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: [

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.
