Class ContextMenuItem

  • public class ContextMenuItem
extends java.lang.Object

    A context menu is displayed when the end user makes click using the right mouse button on an element in the interface; the menu displays a list with different actions associated with that element. A ContextMenuItem represents a single option of such a context menu.

    Context menus can and should be configured using external xml files. All Microstrategy Web transforms that display context-menus have their AbstractAppTransform.contextMenus formal parameter assigned in the style catalog. Even those transforms that display no context menus out of the box can be configured to display them simply by creating a new xml definition file and setting the contextMenus formal parameter.

    Programatically, users can create instances of a ContextMenuItem and add them to an existing ContextMenu. After creating the new object and before adding it to the corresponding ContextMenu, users can control the actions and status of the ContextMenuItem by setting properties in this class; once the ContextMenuItem has been appended to the ContextMenu these properties should not be changed.

    Optionally, for simple cases, a ContextMenuItem can be added by simply calling one of the addItem methods in the ContextMenu.
