# Child Container Context Menu

## Content

Child containers have embedded context menu which allows hiding or maximizing a child container. At runtime you can show this context menu with a right click on the empty area in a child container or with a click on the tool-icon.
The following GIF illustrates context menu displayed on right-clicking the child container.

The context menu can be customized using the [ContextMenuStrip](/componentone/api/win/online-dashboardlayout/dotnet-api/C1.Win.DashboardLayout.10/C1.Win.Layout.DashboardOptions.ContextMenuStrip.html) property of the [DashboardOptions](/componentone/api/win/online-dashboardlayout/dotnet-api/C1.Win.DashboardLayout.10/C1.Win.Layout.DashboardOptions.html) class. To create a custom context menu in DashboardLayout control, refer to [Creating Custom Context Menu](/componentone/docs/win/online-dashboardlayout/walkthroughs/creatingcustomcontextmenu) topic.
