HowTo: Connect popup menu to dbmemo

[mierlp]

How can i connect a popup menu to a uniDBmemo
and when the user clicks the right button to show the popup

NOTE:

I have set MainModule.BrowserOptions.boDisableMouseRightClick = True
but do not know if the solutions is working. I can use a key combination is to
show the popup that's not a problem.

For example:

UniDBMemo1 -> ...

function afterrender(sender, eOpts)
{
    var me=sender;
    me.el.dom.addEventListener('contextmenu', function(e){
        Ext.defer(function(){
            ajaxRequest(me, 'cmenu', ['x='+e.layerX,'y='+e.layerY]);
        }, 150);
    });
}

procedure TMainForm.UniDBMemo1AjaxEvent(Sender: TComponent; EventName: string;
  Params: TUniStrings);
begin
  if EventName = 'cmenu' then
    UniPopupMenu1.Popup(StrToInt(Params.Values['x']),StrToInt(Params.Values['y']), Sender);

end;

Peter, just a question. Why a popup menu on a memo field? 

You could also add a menu button next to, or above the memo...which will result in one less network trip, unless you need to dynamically populate the popup menu.

Hi

I was out for a 14 days vacantion on the Dominican Republik  so no time to develop

@Sherzod : Thanks ..this works fine

@GerhardV : i have several options for the user for this dbmemo field...default 2 options, but sometimes 4 or 6
                       and then buttons is to much. I did try it with buttons..but i want 1 solution for every dbmemo 
                       field i use..or buttons or popup...see attachment

A typical challenge, and the downside of a context menu is 
that you have to know about it, as it is not visible at the outset.

Buttons with text makes it difficult to build a dynamic menu,
but then you have toolbars which give more flexibility.

A vertical toolbar with only icons initially, where it expands
to a menu horisontally with text at hovering...aligned right.

I see the need to put icon buttons into a memo field, like the editors.
