Dashboard controls on a dashboard window in run mode feature right-click menu options that may differ depending on the type of control. A few of the less complex controls display the same right-click menu options in run mode as that of the host dashboard.
Dashboard controls on a dashboard in design/edit mode do not display right-click menus independent from the dashboard.
Note: The HTML dashboard control on a dashboard in run mode displays a Microsoft Internet Explorer right-click menu. Refer to Internet Explorer for documentation relevant to this topic.
