wx.ContextMenuEvent¶
This class is used for context menu events, sent to give the application a chance to show a context (popup) menu for a wx.Window.
Note that if wx.ContextMenuEvent.GetPosition
returns DefaultPosition, this means that the event originated from a keyboard context button event, and you should compute a suitable position yourself, for example by calling wx.GetMousePosition
.
Notice that the exact sequence of mouse events is different across the platforms. For example, under MSW the context menu event is generated after EVT_RIGHT_UP
event and only if it was not handled but under GTK the context menu event is generated after EVT_RIGHT_DOWN
event. This is correct in the sense that it ensures that the context menu is shown according to the current platform UI conventions and also means that you must not handle (or call wx.Event.Skip
in your handler if you do have one) neither right mouse down nor right mouse up event if you plan on handling EVT_CONTEXT_MENU
event.
Events Emitted by this Class¶
Handlers bound for the following event types will receive a wx.ContextMenuEvent parameter.
EVT_CONTEXT_MENU: A right click (or other context menu command depending on platform) has been detected.
