Active context menu via left mouse click [message #451078]

Is there a way to show the context menu on a control (such as a TableTree)
via a single left mouse click?

I have registered a listener on the control to handle SWT.mouseDown events
which creates a new shell containing a TableViewer to mock up a context
menu but would much rather reuse the existing context menu handling code
to achieve this.

I think I have to capture a SWT.mouseDown event which in turn will
generate an approriate right mouse down event and redispatch it but have
no idea how to implement this.

Any help with code snippets would be great.
Thanks,
Raj

Try using an SWT._POP_UP menu and using Menu.setVisible() to show it.

Many thanks for the pointer. In the end I create a menu manager, add some
actions to it, call createPartControl() with my table tree parent control
and then get the menu from the manager and set it to visible.

Works really well - many thanks.
