Through the API in standalone mode, can I
create a custom Right Mouse Click Context Menu
JPopupMenu of action items on an IChart ?

Thanks !

Hi,

It is fairly easy. You can add mouselistener to IChart and receive JPanel object of the chart from IClientGUI.

I do it in following way:

public void addContextMenu(IClientGUI clientGUI) {

        final JPanel chartPanel = clientGUI.getChartPanel();
        final JPopupMenu menu = new JPopupMenu("chartContextMenu");

        IChart chart = clientGUI.getChart();

        JMenuItem item1 = new JMenuItem("item 1");
        menu.add(item1);

        chart.addMouseListener(true, new IChartPanelMouseListener() {
            @Override
            public void mouseClicked(IChartPanelMouseEvent e) {
                
                if (e.getSourceEvent().getButton() == 3) {
                    menu.show(chartPanel, e.getSourceEvent().getX(), e.getSourceEvent().getY());
                }
                
            }

            @Override
            public void mousePressed(IChartPanelMouseEvent e) {}
            @Override
            public void mouseReleased(IChartPanelMouseEvent e) {}
            @Override
            public void mouseEntered(IChartPanelMouseEvent e) {}
            @Override
            public void mouseExited(IChartPanelMouseEvent e) {}
            @Override
            public void mouseDragged(IChartPanelMouseEvent e) {}
            @Override
            public void mouseMoved(IChartPanelMouseEvent e) {}
        });
    }

Hey kurak,

Is this method continuing to work for you with API 2.8.0 and higher?

My post indicates that it may not continue to work?....

I can just confirm that it stopped working also on my side starting version 2.8.

Thanks, well I'm counting on them to make it possible for us to have a supported
Context Menu implementation.

I have a real need for that in my app right now.
