The context toolbox appears when you draw a connector from a shape and release it without it being connected to another shape. The toolbox allows users to create a shape at the end of the connector.

The context toolbox displays the category of the shape from which a user draws a connector, by default. Use the following properties to explicitly specify the shapes that the context toolbox displays.

• Category - allows you to display every shape of a default shape category.

• CustomCategoryName - allows you to display every shape of a custom shape category.

• Shapes - allows you to display a custom collection of default and custom shapes.
