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>()) {
            dpp::slashcommand command;
            /* Define a slash command */
            command.set_name("High Five")
                .set_type(dpp::ctxm_user)
                .set_application_id(bot.me.id);
            /* Register the command */
            bot.guild_command_create(command, 857692897221033129); // you need to put your guild-id in here
        }
    });
 
    /* Use the on_interaction_create event to look for application commands */
    bot.on_interaction_create([&](const dpp::interaction_create_t &event) {
         dpp::command_interaction cmd_data = event.command.get_command_interaction();
            
         /* check if the command is a user context menu action */
         if (cmd_data.type == dpp::ctxm_user) {
 
             /* check if the context menu name is High Five */
             if (cmd_data.name == "High Five") {
                 dpp::user user = event.command.resolved.users.begin()->second; // the user who the command has been issued on
                 dpp::user author = event.command.usr; // the user who clicked on the context menu
                 event.reply(author.get_mention() + " slapped " + user.get_mention());
             }
         }
    });
 
    /* Start bot */
    bot.start(false);
 
    return 0;
}

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