I'm trying to intercept right click events on a Fl_Tree, and do different actions depending on the Fl_Tree_Item selected this way.
I've noticed that in the handle code of Fl_Tree a right click sets the corresponding Fl_Tree_Item as the local focus, but does not select it nor triggers a callback. The problem is even if I were to reimplement handle() and make it trigger a callback, there would be no obvious way for me to get the focused item, since the pointer that holds that is private ( Fl::focus() only returns the Fl_Tree itself ), and I saw no method to recover it. A possibility would be using a Fl_Button with no box ( otherwise it looks terrible ) for each item, and in their callback check if the mouse button clicked is left or right. However one would need to directly click the ( boxless ) button to trigger its event, while right-clicking on the very far left of the element still focuses it ( and would not trigger the button ). I think this would give a strange feedback to the user, since visually he clicked it but nothing happened. And another problem of buttons as Fl_Tree_Items is that the text is not aligned perfectly, and looks odd with normal items. Is there a straightforward way to do something like this? Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
