Even though we could expose haspopup when we know there is a context
menu I'm not as sure we should since the way to invoke it is different.
The user would hear has popup, click (space bar) the widget and find no
popup (since it is a right click, menu key, shift-f10 that normally
invokes the context menu).
cheers,

I understand the use case ... A button may have a drop down menu and a
context menu but would argue that having multiple pop-up menus of any form
on an element is confusing. It would be better to simply have haspopup. and
require the author to have one menu.

Re: [Accessibility-ia2] hascontext
state
I don't think there is a difference between a "context" menu and a "pop-up"
menu. There are no roles distinguishing between these two types of menus.
And even saying they are two types of menus is specious. Some menus emanate
from the menu bar, and some do not. But after that, they're all the same.
I am one user among many, but I don't feel a need for this.
Thanks,
RG

That seems like a good idea. What do others think? -Pete

Hi.
It might be handy to have hascontext state to indicate the accessible
has associated context menu. I realize it's very usual for sighted
users to right mouse click everywhere checking for context menu.
However it sounds it's not very comfortable for AT users to press
shift+F10 on every element. This leads AT users might not know there
is context menu. If we would have hascontext state then the thing must
be much easier since AT could announce the context menu presence like
it happens for popup menus. What do you think?
Thank you.
Alex.
