Remarks

There are four types of context menus that enable an end-user to manage data (apply grouping and sorting, display summaries, etc.) and customize a View by showing and hiding its UI elements. All these menus can be customized. For example, you can remove existing menu items and/or add new items. This can be done in either XAML or at runtime, by handling the ShowGridMenu event (see the example below).

For information on how context menus can be customized in XAML, see Customizing Context Menus in Context Menus.
