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

Thanks

UIObject extends MovieClip - so I thought that I could simply add it 
to any object.  How do I find out which Flex components use the 
Flash TextField ? (Do Labels use the text field ?)

Do you have an example ?

 Hi,
 
 We only support context-menus at application level only, not to 
any children
 of application or to nested objects. However you can add context-
menu items
 to TextInput, TextArea or anything that uses a Flash TextField.
 
 Hopefully, in future context-menu would be supported for nested 
objects.
 
 
 But there is workaround, you can add/remove context menu items to 
main
 context menu depending upon where mouse pointer isSo if user 
right
 clicks on header, you can detect that mouse pointer is on datagrid 
header
 and add context menu items...
 
 Does it make sense?

 Hi,
 
 How do I create a context menu for my Header in a grid?  I have a 
 HeaderRenderer and tried to cast it to a MovieObject and set the 
menu 
 attribute, however this did not work.
 
 Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: Grid Header ContextMenu

2005-04-13 Thread viraf_bankwalla 


Thanks - I was looking for an example on how to detect the right 
mouseDown in a header (or appropiate action to bring up the 
ContextMenu) , and determine which header the mouse was pressed in.  

Thanks
