Context Menus

Context menus are application commands that appear on the context menu (right click or tap) of users or messages to perform context-specific actions. They can be created using dpp::slashcommand. Once you create a context menu, try right-clicking either a user or message to see it in your server!

The following example shows how to create and handle user context menus.

#include <dpp/dpp.h>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    dpp::cluster bot("token");
 
    bot.on_log(dpp::utility::cout_logger());
 
    bot.on_ready([&bot](const dpp::ready_t &event) {
        if (dpp::run_once<struct register_bot_commands>()) {
            /* Register the command */
            bot.guild_command_create(
        dpp::slashcommand()
                    .set_type(dpp::ctxm_user)
                    .set_name("High Five")
                    .set_application_id(bot.me.id),
                857692897221033129 // you need to put your guild-id in here
            );
        }
    });
 
    /* Use the on_user_context_menu event to look for user context menu actions */
    bot.on_user_context_menu([&](const dpp::user_context_menu_t &event) {
         /* check if the context menu name is High Five */
         if (event.command.get_command_name() == "High Five") {
             dpp::user user = event.get_user(); // the user who the command has been issued on
             dpp::user author = event.command.get_issuing_user(); // the user who clicked on the context menu
             event.reply(author.get_mention() + " slapped " + user.get_mention());
         }
    });
 
    /* Start bot */
    bot.start(dpp::st_wait);
 
    return 0;
}

It registers a guild command that can be called by right-click a user and click on the created menu.
