The ContextMenu property defines the default object's context menu. The ActionContextMenu event notifies your application once an action occurs within the object's context menu. Use the AllowContextMenu property to specify the combination of keys that allows the user to open the object's context menu. The AllowDesignHeader property on exDesignHeaderLock, specifies that no context-menu is allowed when user hovers the lane/header.
