taskId	string|number	the task id
linkId	string|number	the link id
e	Event	a native event object

    return true;
});

Right clicks in the Gantt chart open the default browser context menu, if there are no other conditions. In the following example a click on a task shows a DHTMLX context menu and hides the default browser context menu.

//requires DHTMLX menu component
gantt.attachEvent("onContextMenu", function (taskId, linkId, event) {
    const x = event.clientX+document.body.scrollLeft+document.documentElement.scrollLeft;
    const y = event.clientY+document.body.scrollTop+document.documentElement.scrollTop;
 
    if (taskId) {
        menu.showContextMenu(x, y);
        return false;
    }
 
    return true;
});

Don't forget to include either files of DHTMLX Menu or DHTMLX Suite on the page. Otherwise, the example won't work.

Check another example if you need to add a custom context menu in pure JavaScript.
