I my Gadget application i have an issue with showing standard gadget context menu. The problem caused because of silverlight control, when i click right button Silverligh control handle contextmenu event.
So first my solution was to put on top of the silverlight control transprent web control (table). Well that way i got good working gadget context menu and not working silverlight control.
So the next step was to make transperent web control invisible and handle oncontextmenu. Like this.
HTML
<body oncontextmenu="ContextMenu();" onload="init();" >
JavaScript
ContextMenu()
{
var vis = document.getElementById('overlapControl').style.visibility;
if (vis == "hidden") {
document.getElementById('overlapControl').style.visibility = "visible";
window.event.returnValue = false;
}
It’s working with some glitches. You need to make two right button clicks, and some event to hide transpanent control. The second one is not a big problem, i can use onmouseover event for example to hide control. But a first one is a real pain in the neck. Seems there is no way to show context menu with one click.
Any ideas how to make it work. or maybe other better solution.
Have you tried windowless mode? Here is a little more complicated example, but should give you some idea.
