Rich:contextMenu and rich:dataTable - how to disable menu fo

[bitec]

Hello everyone. I have a datatable and rich:contextMenu element, which is poped up when someone clicks on table row (componentControl with "onRowClick" event). In the table I have several links, which work but the menu appears, when I click these links. How can I disable context menu when I click links?

Actually I wanted to show context menu on right button click - then there would be no problems with links, but as far as I looked through the forum, this is impossible. May there are some ways to enable context menu popup on RIGHT click?

Here are some snapshots of componentcontrol and context menu:

<rich:dataTable>
.....

<rich:componentControl event="onRowClick" for="menu"
 disableDefault="false" operation="show">
 <f:param value="#{selectedCustomer.id}" name="customerId" />
 </rich:componentControl>
</rich:dataTable>

<rich:contextMenu attached="false" id="menu" submitMode="ajax" hideDelay="0"
 event="oncontextmenu">
 <rich:menuItem ajaxSingle="true" value="#{bundle.goToOrders}"
 action="orders" icon="/images/orders.png">
 <a4j:actionparam name="ord"
 assignTo="#{orderFilterBean.filterCustomer}" value="{customerId}" />
 </rich:menuItem>
 ...
 </rich:contextMenu>

And another problem I've just found - when using context menu with componentControl for any component - THE WHOLE page is disabled for native right-click context menu of browser!

Thanks in advance

hello? Is this a bug or my mistake?

1) Try to stop the event bubling using Event.stop(event) in your links.

2) add disableDefaultMenu ="false" to context menu

Great thanks Ilya, this helped!

Another small question is about "hideDelay="0"" parameter in context menu. Even if I set it to "0", the menu is visible for a while after the menu loses focus, it can discourage the customer. I would prefer to hide context menu as soon as the mouse goes off the menu borders. Is it possible?

Sorry, everything is ok with "hideDelay = 0", it seems it was deeply cached by firefox. Everything is ok, though it would be great, if richFaces team implemented right click functionality for context menu. I voted for it in Jira.

Thanks.
