Right Click Menu

[Karen Potts]

In Piccolo2D, is it possible to have a right click menu that pops up when you right click? For example, when you right click on a desktop or in a web browser you are given some options that highlight as you mouse over them and then you can click on one? If so, what is the best way to do this?

Hello Karen,

If you are using Piccolo2D.Java, the canvas (PCanvas) is a JComponent
so you may add a right click menu using the usual pattern

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/menu.html#popup


For example, I use this

http://dishevelled.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dishevelled/tags/dsh-identify-1.0/src/main/java/org/dishevelled/identify/ContextMenuListener.java?revision=1240&view=markup

to build a context menu around line 305 here

http://dishevelled.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dishevelled/trunk/venn-cytoscape3-app/src/main/java/org/dishevelled/venn/cytoscape3/internal/DiagramView.java?revision=1373&view=markup
