find row index on select event for rowHeaderContextMenu

[Armando Canez]

I need to perform a custom action on a row. For that I want to use the rowheader contextmenu.

How can I know wich row Index is the context menu being applied? the contextMenu e.target seems to be the whole spreadsheet.

I cannot find any clue in either contextmenu or spreadsheet  docs or forums.

var rowHeaderContextMenu = this.currentSpreadsheet.rowHeaderContextMenu();
rowHeaderContextMenu.remove("[data-action=delete-row]");
rowHeaderContextMenu.remove("[data-action=hide-row]");
rowHeaderContextMenu.append("<li id='myAction' data-action='row-customaction'>My custom action</li>");

rowHeaderContextMenu.bind('select', function(e){
    console.log('contextmenu row', e);
});

 

Extra points if the answer applies also for a cell / columnHeader.

Thanks in advance.

The only way I could find how to do it is to assume when the contextMenu select event is called, the whole row is selected.
That allows me to do this:

 

var rowHeaderContextMenu = mySpreadsheet.rowHeaderContextMenu()
rowHeaderContextMenu.remove("[data-action=delete-row]");
rowHeaderContextMenu.append("<li id='myAction' data-action='row-customaction'>My custom action</li>");

rowHeaderContextMenu.bind('select', function(e){
    var rowIndexStart = mySpreadsheet.activeSheet().selection()._ref.topLeft.row;
    var rowIndexEnd =  mySpreadsheet.activeSheet().selection()._ref.bottomRight.row;
    var action = $(e.item).data('action');

    console.log('rowindex:', rowIndexStart + ' - ' + rowIndexEnd);

    for (var rowIndex = rowIndexStart;rowIndex <= rowIndexEnd; rowIndex++){
        switch(action){
            case 'row-custmaction':
                doMyCustomAction(rowIndex);
            break;
            default:

        }
    }
});

Added extra code to check form multiple row selection.
I hope this helps someone

Hello Armando,

Retrieving the selection from the Spreadsheet Sheet would be the appropriate approach in this scenario. When the rowHeaderContextMenu opens at least one row will always be selected on the currently active Sheet.
