Disable browser right-click menu for a widget

Added by Anonymous over 13 years ago

Hi all,

I'm handling right-button events in my app and would like to disable the default browser popup menu that appears on right-button-up events. I would like to disable the menu for a given widget only. Is there a way to do this in the Wt api?

Cheers,

Dan

In the TreeViewDragDrop example, we do it like this:

/*
 * To support right-click, we need to disable the built-in browser
 * context menu.
 *
 * Note that disabling the context menu and catching the
 * right-click does not work reliably on all browsers.
 */
treeView->setAttributeValue
  ("oncontextmenu",
   "event.cancelBubble = true; event.returnValue = false; return false;");
