RevoGrid [Pro]

Rows and Columns Context Menu

This example demonstrates how to create separate context menus with interactive actions for grid rows and columns. Use the same ContextMenuPlugin, but pass row actions through rowContextMenu and column-header actions through columnContextMenu.

Key Features:

  • Separate row and column context menu configurations
  • Actions with visual indicators
  • Styled menu buttons with hover effects
