Open Menu when you Right Click on a Table Cell

[former_member408570]

I need a context menu to appear when I right click on a row. I need to pick some data from the row to pass as a parameter in the context menu options/links. I use sap.ui.table.

In short I need the functionality of cellClick attribute that works when the user right clicks on a cell.

Any idea, how I can achieve this?

I was able to solve this issue by using the cellContextmenu event of sap.ui.table (https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/api/sap.ui.table.Table/events/cellContextmenu)

Hello,

Right click does not have any unique event assigned. Generally, mouse events are click, mouse up/down etc.

For right-click, you have a workaround. The details are shared in the below link:

Use the menu actions assignment in the sample from below link:

I could get it done by using the cellContextmenu event of sap.ui.table. Thanks for your help though 🙂
