open a context-menu on inputText by right-click ?

[fdegrigny]

Is it possible to open a context-menu on inputText by right-click ?

[ilya_shaikovsky]

<h:inputText id="input"></h:inputText>

<rich:contextMenu event="oncontextmenu" attachTo="input" submitMode="none">

<rich:menuItem value="menu item" ></rich:menuItem>

</rich:contextMenu>

checked and works fine for me.

I am using a rich:componentControl because my inputs are in a dataTable and I dont want to repeat the context menu on each rows.

The trick is don't forget to define the 'attachTo' attribute to be notified by the 'oncontextmenu' event. :

<rich:contextMenu attached="false" id="menu" submitMode="server" disableDefaultMenu="true">
                  <rich:menuItem ajaxSingle="false" actionListener="#{myBean.copyValue}" >
                    Copy cell value to selected rows
                    <a4j:actionparam name="colCode" value="{colCode}"/>
                    <a4j:actionparam name="rowIndex" value="{rowIndex}"/>
                </rich:menuItem>
   </rich:contextMenu>

<rich:scrollableDataTable var="item" binding="#{myBean.dataTable}" value="#{myBean.products}"

              <rich:columns value="#{myBean.colDecriptors}" var="col" >
                                <f:facet name="header">
                                    <h:outputText value="#{col.label}" />
                                </f:facet>
                               
                                 <h:inputText id="#{col.propName}_input" value="#{item[col.propName]}" >
                                    <rich:componentControl event="oncontextmenu" for="menu" operation="show" attachTo="#{col.propName}_input">
                                          <f:param value="#{myBean.dataTable.rowIndex}" name="rowIndex"/>
                                          <f:param value="#{col.propName}" name="colCode"/>                                    
                                      </rich:componentControl>                                                                      
                                </h:inputText>

               </rich:columns> 

</rich:scrollableDataTable>

What have confused me is that the 'onclick' an 'ondblclick' events work  well without the 'attachTo' attribute.

if attached not defined - componetn control tried to be encoded as a4j:support directly to parent attribute. And input does not supports oncontextmenu
