Re: [Project_owners] Programmatically open the context menu

Fri, 10 Feb 2006 09:08:41 -0800

I think the reason you're getting a long context menu is because when you right click in the context area, what you right click on determines what items in the menu get hidden. I would surmise that by calling it the way you do, you're getting everything unfiltered. In browser.js, you'll find an object called nsContextMenu, which has all that code. I haven't dug through it recently, so I can't tell you exactly what you need, but it should point you in the right direction.

Hey, Soyapi. Thanks for the link but it isn't exactly what I was looking for (some nice obfuscated code though). What I'm trying to do is get the Firefox context menu to popup and not a custom popup menu.

var evt = document.createEvent("MouseEvent");
evt.initMouseEvent("click", 1, 1, window, 1, 10, 50, 10, 50, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, null);

document.popupNode=evt.target;

var cacm = document.getElementById ("contentAreaContextMenu")
cacm.showPopup(getBrowser(), evt.clientX, evt.clientY, "context", "bottomleft", "topleft");

Here is some code I have. But when this gets executed it pops up a loooong context menu with about every option available. I need to replace what ever click this was executed to the right-click (button 2). Any other thoughts on this? Thanks for all the help!

Thanks,
Todd

I haven't looked at how they do it but that's what Hyperwords does. Check it out
