To respond to clicks on context buttons in a centralized way, handle the RepositoryItemPopupBase.ContextButtonClick event. The Item property of the ContextItemClickEventArgs object passed to the event handler as a parameter, allows you to determine the button being clicked.

The RepositoryItemComboBox.ContextButtonOptions property provides access to the settings applied to the context buttons. For instance, you can specify the indent between the buttons, the animation used to show and hide the buttons, etc.
