# How to create a right-click context menu for a button in WPF?

How to create a [right](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12766/check-whether-you-are-doing-digital-transformation-right-or-not)-[click](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12423/social-login-magento-2-one-click-to-register-social) [context](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/23245/what-is-context-in-android) menu for a [button](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/63/how-to-add-button-in-datagridview-in-csharp-dot-net) in [WPF](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/304/wpf)?

i know how to create a [left](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12768/don-t-be-left-behind-with-the-new-it-revolution)-click context menu for a button, but I am not too sure how to do it for a right click? (i.e. how to specify that the context menu should appear on a right-click, not a left click).

Thanks in [advanced](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12993/5-advanced-features-for-your-odoo-ecommerce-theme)!

here is a sample..

```
<Button Content="button" Name="btn" Width="100">           
<Button.ContextMenu>               
<ContextMenu>                   
<MenuItem Header="Cut"/>                   
<MenuItem Header="Copy"/>                   
<MenuItem Header="Paste"/>               
</ContextMenu>           
</Button.ContextMenu>       
</Button>
```
