Extended Host callback interface IComponentHandler3 for an edit controller.
A Plug-in can ask the host to create a context menu for a given exported
Parameter ID or a generic context menu.
The host may pre-fill this context menu with specific items regarding the parameter ID like "Show automation for parameter", "MIDI learn" etc...
The Plug-in can use the context menu in two ways :
- add its own items to the menu via the IContextMenu interface and call IContextMenu::popup(..) to pop-up it. See the Example.
- extract the host menu items and add them to its own created context menu
Note: You can and should use this even if you don't add your own items to the menu as this is considered to be a big user value.
