How can I change the Right-Click menu of a RichTextBlock in UWP

Question

I want to override the right-click menu in a RichTextBlock or a TextBlock, I have been searching for the solution and tried using RightTappedEvent, but it did not fire when right tapped a chosen text, but it fired when I right tapped in elsewhere in the control.

Yes, you can use ContextFlyout to change it.

You can add the ContextFlyout to custom your menu.

The code shows how to add the custom menu.

    <RichTextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center">
        <RichTextBlock.ContextFlyout>
            <MenuFlyout>
                <MenuFlyoutItem Text="1" />
                <MenuFlyoutItem Text="2" />
            </MenuFlyout>
        </RichTextBlock.ContextFlyout>
