Remarks

To override or add commands to the context menu, you can handle the ContextMenuOpening event and replace the default menu with a custom menu. For an example of this, see the Customizing RichEditBox's CommandBarFlyout - adding 'Share' example in the WinUI 2 Gallery. For design info, see Guidelines for context menus.
