Context menu in custom widget [message #126558] Tue, 31 March 2009 11:46 Go to next message

Hi!

I want to add a context menu to my custom widget. I've looked at
Qooxdoos example code for creating these menus, but I havent managed to
create one. Does RAP even have support for creating a context menu
inside a custom widget, and if it does, how do I create one? Thanks!

Hi Erik,

here is a small example:
1. add contextmenu listener to your JS client implementation
this.addEventListener( "contextmenu", this._onContextMenu, this );
2. use the code below to open the menu
_onContextMenu : function( evt ) {
var menu = this.getContextMenu();
if( menu != null ) {
menu.setLocation( evt.getPageX(), evt.getPageY() );
menu.setOpener( this );
menu.show();
evt.stopPropagation();
}
}
3. set the menu on the server side
Menu menu = new Menu( customWidget );
MenuItem menuItem = new MenuItem( menu , SWT.PUSH );
menuItem.setText( "Menu Item Text" );
customWidget.setMenu( menu );
4. Make sure that you call ControlLCAUtil#preserveValues and
ControlLCAUtil#writeChanges in your CustomWidgetLCA.

Best,
Ivan

Hi Ivan and thanks for your reply.

I don't understand the last step:
4. Make sure that you call ControlLCAUtil#preserveValues and
ControlLCAUtil#writeChanges in your CustomWidgetLCA.

Could you please explain this step a bit more?

Hi Erink,

your custom widget have a LCA - CustomWidgetLCA. In the CustomWidgetLCA
in the method preserveValues call ControlLCAUtil.preserveValues(
customWidget ) and in the method renderChanges call
ControlLCAUtil.writeChanges( customWidget ). Take a look in some of the
existing RAP controls LCAs - ScaleLCA.java for example.

Best,
Ivan
