Re: [flexcoders] Select a Tree item on Right click

[milan kosir]

If I try to look from the user perspective, I would prefer control left click over doubleclick and I would prefer some visual representation (small down arrow like context menus in dreamweaver/flash) over all other solutions.

What do you all think 
about a double-click context menu, in stead of the right click context menu that 
flex provides. The problem with the flex one is that it confuses a user as to 
whether they are still in your app or some browser menu. Hence I see the oops 
syndrome. (definitely!)


 
Create a double click 
flex context menu using the mx:menu ? would it work. Another benefit is mac 
users only have 1 button so I avoid right click like the plague. Although I also 
try to avoid double click as, in all my years of software development on thing 
you can be guaranteed in a user that continuously double clicks everything or 
randomly clicks stuff.
 
Also 
basing things on the context menu when that is not common in a web app may place 
confusion. I might user test the double click idea though. It's not standard,but it could work 
and long as no vital actions are tied to it. An experianced user would soon 
discover it. 
 
Thoughts ?

  Yes, I did this back in Flash.You have to write an event handler 
  for the itemRollOver (if the event is still called) that. Record the index 
  from the event. Then in your contextMenu handler have the first thing it does 
  set the selectedIndex of the tree. At this time you can also access the node 
  info, which is handy for populating the menu before it is 
  'rendered'.Peace, Mike

    Hi,I have a tree control and i added custom contextual menus on 
    that tree.I'm trying to read the value of the tree node when i right 
    click and select a custom contaxtual menu, i did not find a way to do this 
    because right click is not selecting the tree item.If i left-click 
    before right-clicking on it then i can get to it by using 
    myTree.selectedItem. Is there any way i can get to the tree item that i 
    right clicked on(without a left click)? Or force it to select the item when 
    i right click on it?Thanks-- What goes up, does come down.
