Is there a way to emulate an "onContextMenu" event for a row in rich:dataTable?
I want to use onRowClick for something else, and I don't know how to tell if a mouseDown
event was from the left or right button...
I would like this to work in the same way as it does for treeNode,
i.e., I would like to have an "onRowContextMenu" which is
distinguished (exclusive) from "onRowClick".
I saw the topic:
http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=126928
which advises one to put the component control inside the columns.
However, putting componentControl inside the rich:column does not make
the event "oncontextmenu" work. The menu does not appear. To test, I
tried with the "onmousedown" event, which is OK, so I am assuming that the contextMenu event is not supported.
Here is my componentControl:
<rich:dataTable
rowClasses="alarmRowOdd, alarmRowEven"
onRowClick="fselect('#{networkElement.id}', ctrlkey )"
value="#{nodeList}"
var="networkElement"
rendered="true" >
<c:forEach items="#{nodeRowFormats.columnDataModel}" var="column">
<rich:column sortable="false"
styleClass="#{(nodeTable.nodeSelections[networkElement.id]) ? 'selectedrow'
: ( (column=='connectionState') ? networkElement.styleClass : 'unselectedrow' ) }" >
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText
class="sortLink"
title="#{nodeRowFormats.titleMap[column]}"
value="#{nodeRowFormats.labelMap[column]}"
onclick="fsort('#{column}')" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{networkElement[column]}"/>
</rich:column>
</c:forEach>
<rich:componentControl event="onRowMouseDown" for="menu" operation="show">
<f:param value="#{networkElement.id}" name="neId"/>
<f:param value="#{networkElement.name}" name="name"/>
</rich:componentControl>
</rich:dataTable>
For the richfaces team, could you consider adding support for
"onRowContextmenu" in a future release?
