Unfortunately calling menuitem.popup from mousedown or cellclick has some side effects under win (http://www.realsoftware.com/feedback/ viewreport.php?reportid=xkojzmiw and others). I need to use constructcontextual menu, which btw should be the preferred way.
I presume then that this is a bug. > > On 14-May-07, at 10:44 AM, Tomas Camin wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> under Windows and Mac (linux not tested) when >> mylistbox.selectiontype=Listbox.SelectionMultiple current row >> selection will be lost when right clicking (or cmd clicking): >> >> start an empty project >> add a listbox and populate it with a couple of items >> set selectiontype=Listbox.SelectionMultiple >> add some items to the contextual menu >> >> run the app >> select some rows >> right click (or cmd click) >> previous selection is lost and only one row is selected. >> >> Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? >> >> Instead of constructcontextualmenu I've been using a workaround >> suggested by Karen in an older post (calling menuitem.popup in >> mousedown) but there is a bug under Windows that force me to use the >> constructcontextualmenu. >> >> Now some code: >> >> -- mylistbox.constructcontextualmenu: >> dim m as MenuItem >> >> >> m=New MenuItem >> m.text="menuitem test" >> base.append m >> >> return true >> >> -- mylistbox.open: >> dim i as integer >> >> >> for i=0 to 100 >> me.AddRow "test" >> next >> >> me.SelectionType=Listbox.SelectionMultiple >> > > if you check I think you'll find you get both the cellclick and > mousedown and that's what seems to be deselecting everything > > you can catch this by inserting, in the cellclick, something like > > if Keyboard.AsyncControlKey or IsContextualClick then > return true > end if > > and the selection will not be changed BUT the ConstructContextualMenu > will not be called either > > If you could use the menuitem.popup then you could have the > contextual menu show up > > You could use something like > > if Keyboard.AsyncControlKey or IsContextualClick then > dim base as New MenuItem > dim m as MenuItem > > > m=New MenuItem > m.text="menuitem test" > > base.append m > > m = base.PopUp > > return true > end if > > > Not sure how you get this effect if you have to use > ConstructContextualMenu > > > _______________________________________________ > Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: > <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> > > Search the archives: > <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html> _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
