["Noel Grandin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-181?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12734133#action_12734133 ] 

Noel Grandin commented on PIVOT-181:
------------------------------------

I'm not sure that context-menu handling is sufficiently standardized that you can do ALL of that. (I'm in general agreement with need for some framework level support).

Specifically, I don't think you can walk down the tree and accumulate context menu entries, because some components are going to want to do radically different things on right-mouse-click.
For example, some people might want to implement radial context menus, or simply do something else altogether on right-mouse-click.

But I can definitely see the need for some utility code that makes implementing context menus easier.

> Create framework-level support for context menus by creating a Component.ContextMenuHandler interface.  When the display host detects a right click, it will:
> 1) Get a reference to the lowest-level component that the mouse is over, and if that's non-null...
> 2) Construct the path from the display to that component, instantiate a MenuPopup
> 3) Walk the path, passing the menu popup's menu to each ContextMenuHandler that is found along the path
> 4) Open the menu popup if the menu is non-empty after the path has been walked
