I think the question is, in a B4XFloatTextField, how do you override the system's context menu with a code-supplied one rather than setting it in the Designer?

Well... my english is very limited

The question is... I write in designer a context menu. That context menu is not showed.

Thx @moster67
I will take a look...
The problem than I can see... I only want to show context menu when Right click. If left click, context menu is showed

B4X:
 SetContextMenu(B4XFloatTextField1, Array("AAA", "BBB", "CCC"), "B4XFloatTextField1")


Sub B4XFloatTextField1_Action
    Dim mi As MenuItem = Sender
    Log(mi.Text)
End Sub

Sub SetContextMenu (Field As B4XFloatTextField, MenuItems As List, EventName As String)
    #if B4J
    Dim tf As TextField = Field.TextField
    Dim ctxt As ContextMenu
    ctxt.Initialize("")
    For Each s As String In MenuItems
        Dim mi As MenuItem
        mi.Initialize(s, EventName)
        ctxt.MenuItems.Add(mi)
    Next
    tf.ContextMenu = ctxt
    #End If
End Sub
Note that if this is a password field and you want to include the reveal feature then you will need to recreate the menu when the PasswordRevealChanged event is raised.

Thanks @Erel

With your code I can not get same context menu showed in a TextField control. So I have decided to keep a Textfield control with context menu made in designer and property visible = false and make property ContextMenu of B4XFloatTextField = TextField.ContextMenu
