Yeah, Label uses Flash Textfield, But for ContextMenu, a textfield should be selectable/editable.
Following is simple example for context-menu, if you already know how to do it, ignore it. ##ContextMenuExample.mxml## <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; initialize="addContextMenu();"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ function addContextMenu() { var _cm:ContextMenu; var about_cmi:ContextMenuItem; _cm = new ContextMenu(); about_cmi = new ContextMenuItem("About This App", mx.utils.Delegate.create(this,showAbout)); _cm.customItems.push(about_cmi); _cm.hideBuiltInItems(); mx.core.Application.application.menu = _cm; } function showAbout() { alert("Context Menu Example App v 1.0"); } ]]> </mx:Script> </mx:Application> -abdul -----Original Message----- From: viraf_bankwalla [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 5:45 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Grid Header ContextMenu Thanks UIObject extends MovieClip - so I thought that I could simply add it to any object.
