The CM fires either from a right mouse button click if you have a two
button mouse or the Control key plus the left mouse button. If you have
a single button mouse on the Mac it is the same as the left mouse button
on a two button mouse. That is how the CM is designed to work.
This is NOT 'good'. This adds a layer of complexity that is not
intuitively obvious to the user.
There should be facility to allow the designer to choose what should
trigger the CMs appearance; click, enter a cell of a listbox, even
this control-click, if we want it.
There is; you can pop up a menu any time you want, as the IDE does
when you click the little triangles in the constant editor listbox,
for example.
But from the user's perspective, it's not a contextual menu if it's
appearing in response to something other than a contextual click
(i.e. right-click or control-left-click).
I STRONGLY recommend modifying the new ContextualMenu to provide
that sort of programming flexibility in order to allow the
programmers to make their applications as easy to understand as they
wish.
No modifications are needed for this. Just a little
documentation-reading, perhaps.
Best,
