Hello @Nikolay Kusch ,

There is no ContextActions for Grid in MAUI, only ListView supports context menus items. As described in ListView - .NET MAUI | Microsoft Learn : ListView supports context menus items, which are defined as MenuItem objects that are added to the ViewCell.ContextActions collection in the DataTemplate for each item

If you want to add context menus to other UI element, please check SwipeView - .NET MAUI | Microsoft Learn.
