Hi,

While using the context menu widget in combination with the multiple row selection in a grid, i came across a problem.
When I selected multiple rows in the grid with a left click, they are correctly selected and deselected as desired.
If I now perform a right click on any row in the subfile, the context menu is correctly opened.
The row I right-clicked however is now selected too, or when it was already selected, becomes deselected.

Is there a way to disable right click for the row selection in a grid?

Have you tried preventEvent()? Or, is it all handled by PUI?

It's hard to fully understand what's happening without seeing it for myself. Can you post a JSON dump? To get this, go to the screen with the problem and press Ctrl-F9. It should ask you to download a file -- please provide that file here.

Thanks

I have this same issue and I haven't been able to find a solution. I tried preventEvent(), but that did not work.

To recreate it, create a grid, and allow for multiple selection. Create a menu object and set it to invisible. Then, in the grid context menu property, set it to the element name of the menu object. When you right-click on the rows, the context menu is displayed, and the row is selected/deselected.

Basically, in this situation, we would only want a row to be selected/deselected with a left-click, and the context menu to be displayed with a right-click.

I created a test display file and attached the JSON file to this post to give an example.

Okay, I see what you're saying. Thanks for the JSON file -- this helps a lot!

I was a bit confused before. (I was thinking that preventEvent would block the row selection -- but it does not, it blocks the context menu -- so does the opposite of what you guys need!) Sorry for the confusion, there.

To block the row selection when right-clicking and there's a context menu will require a change to the product. I will create a feature request to that end and e-mail you the ticket number.
