""" Extending the Button Context Menu +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This example enables you to insert your own menu entry into the common right click menu that you get while hovering over a UI button (e.g. operator, value field, color, string, etc.) To make the example work, you have to first select an object then right click on an user interface element (maybe a color in the material properties) and choose *Execute Custom Action*. Executing the operator will then print all values.
