Detecting if Grid row is a file or a folder

[lordscarlet]

I am trying to complete a task that I have found half the answer for. I would like the context menu in the grid to only work on files, not folders. I found the solution for hiding the context menu. However, I'm not sure how to check each row for whether it is a file or folder. I am digging through the javascript now, but this is time sensitive so I thought I would post right away.

I found a solution. I would appreciate knowing if there is a better one, but for the short term, this one works.

function OnGridContextShowing(oMenu, args) {
    if ($(args.get_targetElement()).attr('class').indexOf("folder") >= 0)
        args.set_cancel(true);
}

Hi Doug,

The approach that you have used is OK and actually, it will handle cases where the right click occurs on an empty grid row or header row, and I will recommend using it.

Another possible approach is to examine the explorer's selected item, e.g.:

.....
var selectedItem = explorer.get_grid().get_selectedItems()[0];
if(selectedItem && selectedItem.isDirectory())
    args.set_cancel(true);

.....

Kind regards,
