  Hello
  
  Can we somehow achieve to have our custom menu on right-click or somehow override the RibbonButton MouseDown event?
  
  We need this because we want to make our Custom function to add selected items to a new custom C1RibbonTab instead of QuickAccessToolbar or to have option to our custom MouseDown event on RibbonButton.
  
  Something like on this example:
  
  
  Best regards.

  Hi,
  
  You can achieve this using the MouseUp event and the ShowContextMenu method of Ribbon. First, you need to add items to the context menu using the ContextMenuItems property of the Ribbon. Then you can use the MouseUp event and then the GetItemAt method of the Ribbon to get the item at the mouse location. If a RibbonButton or any other desired RibbonItem was clicked, you can use the ShowContextMenu method to show your custom context menu.
  Please refer to the sample attached and modify it according to your requirements.

  Thank you, Avnish.Kumar, it's working for the first level
  BUT - Any RibbonItem below RibbonMenu does not recognize MouseUp event.
  
  In this structure (pic) the custom context menu is working fine until RibbonButton3 and RibbonButton4.
  
  I wonder if there is any solution available for this?

  Hi,
  
  As per the development team, there is no workaround for this case currently since the menu dropdown is shown in a separate dropdown form.
  We have posted a feature request to the development team. We will let you know when we have an update.

  Thanks, Avnish, for the reply.
  
  Is there any other way to change / modify the existing context menu for RibbonItem-s?

  Hi,
  
  Sorry for the inconvenience but there is no other way currently to customize the context menu of the RibbonItems. The case has been reported to the development team and they are working on introducing new behavior to customize the context menu for ribbon items. We will let you know as soon as we have an update.
