Hello Forum,
I am using richfaces 3.1.4.GA
I want to use the oncontextmenu event in rich:datatable objects.
I took a look at the source, and found the small table in AbstractRowsRenderer.java. It looks like I can just switch the mapped event for "onRowMouseDown" to render an "oncontextmenu" instead of the normal "onmousedown".
I understand that this would make the normal usage of onRowMouseDown unavailable, but I am willing to live with this, as I am not using it. After my one-line change, the table looks like so:
public static final String[][] TABLE_EVENT_ATTRS = {
{"onclick","onRowClick"},
{"ondblclick","onRowDblClick"},
{"onmousemove","onRowMouseMove"},
{"onmouseup","onRowMouseUp"},
{"oncontextmenu","onRowMouseDown"},
{"onmouseover","onRowMouseOver"},
{"onmouseout","onRowMouseOut"}
};
I followed the instructions from the wiki and built it. It seems to work as expected; I specify onRowMouseDown, it renders "oncontextmenu" in my table rows. The resulting context menu works properly.
My question, is, am I going to be able to get away with this....?
I am not at all familiar with richfaces source, but it looks to me like it should be ok. I am worried that I might cause some obscure problems (e.g., memory leaks?) or worse....
PdP
