Hi,

I've got a context driven menu popup happening when a user right-clicks
a row in the grid. This is working fine.

Unfortunately, when the user right-clicks in a non-populated row (at the
bottom) I still get a menuDetected event when nothing is selected. As
such, the context code is wrong. I could detect this non-selection and
not display the menu, but in the case where a clicks a row first,
selecting it, and then right clicks into a void I'd prefer to still not
show a menu as it might be unclear that the menu selection relates to a
row selected much higher.

Does anyone know the correct way to determine a right-click in this void
area that would result in a menuDetected event - so that I can safely
ignore this event and not show a menu.

Is this question more suited to another newsgroup? platform.swt?

Hi Grant,

You should be able to use the x,y coordinates of the menu detect event
and ask Grid.getItem(x,y). If it returns null then you can assume its
not over a row.
