Have the possibility of disabling system-context menu

[nunodonato]

I was just making some experiments with bbUI.js (which has its own implementation of the context menu), and bumped into this problem:

• I was testing if the bbui overflow menu could be dragged like the cascades one.
• As I pressed and hold for a few secs the system context menu poped up, allowing me to save/share the icon of the button!

For any user using a webworks app, this could be a terrible experience (and confusing)

Could the system context menu be totally disabled somehow, so that when using bbUI.js we use its own implementation?

You can turn it off but I prefer if you turn off the bbui context menu and webworks fixes the context menu on button images

We are talking HTML here, I may be implementing my own UI, how is the context menu going to find out what's a button and what's a real image?
For me it makes more sense to keep it off as a default, and having the possibility of enabling it on a case by case basis

We are working on this
@jeffheifetz - case by case use case is interesting for context menus

[jeffheifetz]

Custom context menus should be coming in webworks, we are discussing them already here - #184

As per dismissing it case by case this can be done by listening to the contextmenu event and preventing default. Thats what we do on the contextmenu code to prevent context menus on context menus.

The advantage to the webworks implementation vs bbui is that it will have deeper integration into the platform.

[nunodonato]

Wouldn't it be easier to do the other way around? Assume no context menu and have the developer enable it when needed?
If I have to manually disable it for all potential elements that fire a context menu, that's a lot of work in each screen.

[jeffheifetz]

I suppose if thats what you want, you can set blackberry.ui.contextmenu.enabled to false at the beginning and enable it in the event. You'll just need some sort of mechanism to disable it afterwards, perhaps just a timer would be good enough.

[ejzn]

@nunodonato you can actually catch the event yourself via oncontextmenu event attached to the dom, if you don't want to do what Jeff says. Try the following:

window.oncontextmenu = function(evt) {
evt.preventDefault();
};

You won't see anything, and you'll prevent us from acting on the event all together.

[nunodonato]

Hi John

Yes I'm aware of that option, was just wondering about what would be the best default behavior.

Thanks!
Nuno

@kwallis Can we close this as our product decision?
