automation script: context menu

In a connector there's a right-click context menu item for adding entries to a table.
Once clicked it opens an popup to fill in 3 parameters.
Is that possible through an automation script?
Probably it is possible with slnet, but I wonder if this has been done before.

Hi Jeroen,

It is hard to know what your use case is. It would be nice to explain that as well in your question.

I assume 2 things:
- In C# block of an automation script, there is a context-menu, which consists of a list with predefined code snippets.
- in a running Interactive Automation script, it is not possible  to have context-menus directly involved in the UI.
HOWEVER, if you use the UI block type 'Parameter', it will resolve the given parameter data into a parameter control, like the one you see in Data Display.
So this is the same one that you would describe/configure via the protocol.

In your use case, it could be possible if you will pass the table parameter in your script as UI block. Please check the documentation for more information.

Hope this will help you further.
