Hello,

You need to check the section "Context menu" at http://www.add-in-express.com/docs/net-commandbar-components.php.

Hello Andrei,

1. I created a WordAddin.
2. I add a AdxContextMenu1
3. I add a AdxCommandBarButton in the Menu
4. I set SupportedApp -> Word
5. I set CommandBarName -> Text

When I debug the Project and I make a right mouse click Nothing happends !!!!

Do I forget anything ???

Thank you Andreas

Hi Andreas,

What Word version do you have? Are you sure you clicked text, not table, image, field etc?

Hi Andreas,

The first section in the section mentioned above is:

In Office 2000-2007, context menus are command bars and they can be customized in the same way as any other command bar. In Office 2010, they allow us to customize context menus via the Ribbon XML. Accordingly, Add-in Express provides two components: a commandbar-based (ADXContextMenu) and Ribbon-based (ADXRibbonContextMenu).


The last statement in tht section is:

In Office 2010 and higher, you can customize both commandbar-based and Ribbon-based context menus. See http://www.add-in-express.com/docs/net-first-com-addin.php#context-menu and Step 9. Customizing context menus in Outlook.


The link above describes how to add a context menu item in Office 2010.

But the component you are using should add a context menu item, too. Please try re-registering your project.
