IUIAutomationElement3::ShowContextMenu method (uiautomationclient.h)
Programmatically invokes a context menu on the target element.
Syntax
HRESULT ShowContextMenu();
Return value
Type: HRESULT
If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.
Remarks
This method returns an error code if the context menu could not be invoked. If no context menu is available directly on the element on which it was invoked, calling this method might invoke a context menu on the Microsoft UI Automation parent of the current item.
The context menus themselves fire menu opened / closed events when they are invoked and dismissed.
