Right-click and row selection

[Brian Roth]

I've implemented a right-click context menu for some of the grids in our project.  One of these grids is set up to allow multiple row selection.  I was hoping that when the user right-clicks I could have some options for them which would operate on all currently selected rows.  But it seems that the right-click is interpreted as a "Select" click and proceeds to select the row that the user has clicked over, which causes all the other rows to be deselected.  Is there a way to treat a right-click differently and have it not affect which rows are selected?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Brian,

 
You can attach "mousedown" event to the grid body which checks if the currently clicked mouse button is the right button to prevent the event from bubbling up using jQuery stopPropagation method. Please check the example below:

$(function () {

    //replace with your grid name

    $("#Grid tbody").bind("mousedown", function (e) {

        if (event.button == 2) {

                 //prevent the event from bubbling


            e.stopPropagation();

        }

    })

})

 
Edit: In next internal builds we will disable grid selection using the right mouse button and the above solution will not be needed.
