<h3>What are context menus?</h3>
<p>
Context menus are what you see when you click your right mouse button. With OfficeExcel, you can specify custom menus
for your charts if you wish. This way you can define custom actions to be associated with menu items. Context menus are a
very easy way to extend the functionality of your charts, allowing you to associate presentation style functionality
with them.
</p>
<p>
<b>Important:</b> Opera does not allow you to customise the context menu, so with this browser you
should use the left mouse button on the chart, instead of the right.
</p>
<a name="look"></a>
<br />&nbsp;<br />
<h3>What do they look like?</h3>
<img src="../images/context.png" width="148" height="90" alt="An OfficeExcel context menu" style="float: right; margin-right: 200px; border: 2px dashed gray; margin-right: 280px" />
<p>
Context menus look like the image on the right. You can of course customise their look by using stylesheets. The CSS classes
you need to use are <b>OfficeExcel_contextmenu_background</b>, <b>OfficeExcel_contextmenu</b> and <b>OfficeExcel_contextmenu_item</b>. Eg:
</p>
<br clear="all" />
<pre class="code">
&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
.OfficeExcel_contextmenu {
}
.OfficeExcel_contextmenu_item {
}
.OfficeExcel_contextmenu_background {
}
&lt;/style&gt;</pre>
<p>
The "! important" is not necessary if you're not overriding a style that is set by the chart script. If you're having trouble,
it's a good idea to use it though.
</p>
<a name="multiple"></a>
<br />&nbsp;<br />
<h3>Can I have multiple levels of menus?</h3>
<p>
Yes, as of 24th April 2010 you can have a dual level context menu, which can reduce "option overload" in your user interface.
This example defines a simple context menu:
</p>
<pre class="code">
bar.Set('chart.contextmenu', [
['Zoom', OfficeExcel.Zoom],
['Application', <span style="color: green">[['Login...', function () {ModalDialog.Show('modaldialog_login', 300);}]]</span> ],
null,
['Cancel', function () {}]
]);
</pre>
<p>
As you can see there could easily get to be a lot of arrays, so it may help you during development to structure your code by using
indentation.
</p>
<a name="define"></a>
<br />&nbsp;<br />
<h3>How do I define context menus?</h3>
<p>
Defining a context menu is quite a simple affair. Eg:
</p>
<pre class="code">
myBar.Set('chart.contextmenu', [
['Menu item 1', Callback1],
['Menu item 2', Callback2]
]);</pre>
<p>
As you can see, the value is a two dimension array. The second being an array consisting of a string which is used as the name of the
menu item, and a function object (NOT the function name as a string). The function object is the function called when the menu item is selected.
</p>
<a name="seperators"></a>
<br />&nbsp;<br />
<h3>Can I have "separators"?</h3>
<p>
Yes. Simply pass null instead of an array as your menu item. Eg:
</p>
<pre class="code">
myBar.Set('chart.contextmenu', [
['Menu item 1', Callback1],
null,
['Menu item 2', Callback2]
]);</pre>
<a name="bypass"></a>
<br />&nbsp;<br />
<h3>How do I bypass them?</h3>
<p>
If for any reason you wish to access the browsers own context menu, you can hold down your CTRL key on your keyboard when you
click, and the canvas context menu will be bypassed. Try it on the chart below by holding your CTRL key whilst right clicking.
</p>
<a name="getshape"></a>
<br />&nbsp;<br />
<canvas id="cvs" width="600" height="250" style="float: right">[No canvas support]</canvas>
<h3>How do I get the underlying shape that was clicked on?</h3>
<p>
In some circumstances you may want to know which bar/point/segment was right-clicked on when showing the context menu (if any).
In these cases you will find the pertinent information (the same as what you get from the various .get*() methods) on the
context menu object - which is held in the registry: <i>OfficeExcel.Registry.Get('chart.contextmenu').__shape__</i>. The example bar chart
shows it in action.
</p>
<pre class="code">
&lt;script&gt;
function myListener (obj)
{
p(OfficeExcel.Registry.Get('chart.contextmenu').__shape__)
}
OfficeExcel.AddCustomEventListener(myBar, 'oncontextmenu', myListener);
&lt;/script&gt;
</pre>
<a name="use"></a>
<br />&nbsp;<br />
<h3>What can I use them for?</h3>
<p>
Since the context menu items run Javascript functions when selected, you can use them for pretty much
anything you want. For example you could make a presentation system, with the context menu controlling which
chart is shown on the canvas, like the example above.
</p>
<a name="mac"></a>
<br />&nbsp;<br />
<h3>Context menus, Macs, Safari, Opera and MSIE 9</h3>
<p>
Mac Safari, Mac Firefox, Windows Safari and MSIE 9 (beta 1) can have trouble displaying the context menu. So for this reason, for these browsers,
the context menu is attached to a double click of the left mouse button. Opera doesn't support customising the context menu so
this browser also uses a left mouse button double click to trigger the context menu.
</p>
<a name="events"></a>
<br />&nbsp;<br />
<h3>Related events</h3>
<p>
There are two context menu related events which you can utilise:
</p>
<ul>
<li><i>onbeforecontextmenu</i></li>
<li><i>oncontextmenu</i></li>
</ul>
<p>
As their names suggest, one fires before the contextmenu is shown, and one after. <b>Important:</b> Because of the
fading effect, it may seem that both events fire before the contextmenu is shown, however this is just due to the nature
of Javascript timers and the fact that alert()s will block them (pause them in effect).
