Instantiation Example

  • Article

The following is an example of the nested DIV structure used to construct a context menu:

  <DIV ID='mycontextmenu'
       CLASS='bdcontextmenu'
       TABINDEX=0
       STYLE='DISPLAY: none; BEHAVIOR: url(/widgets/listHTC/menucontrol.htc)'
       LANGUAGE=VBScript
       ONCLICK='clickContextMenuItem'
       ONHIGHLIGHT='toggleContextMenuHighlight'
       ONUNHIGHLIGHT='toggleContextMenuHighlight'
       ONCLOSE ='closeContextMenu'>
    <DIV ID='myopen'
         CLASS='bdcontextmenuitem'
         LANGUAGE=VBScript
         ONCONTEXTCLICK='myOpenHandler'>Open
    </DIV>
    <DIV ID='mydelete'
         CLASS='bdcontextmenuitem'
         LANGUAGE=VBScript
         ONCONTEXTCLICK='myDeleteHandler'>Delete
    </DIV>
  </DIV>

The routines myOpenHandler and myDeleteHandler will be run when the user clicks on the corresponding item in the menu.

To attach the above menu to an HTML element on your page simply add the routine showContextMenu to handle the onContext menu event:

  <LABEL ID='mylabel'
         LANGUAGE=VBScript
         ONCONTEXTMENU='showContextMenu'>
         Right-clickable text goes here
  </LABEL>
