How to cancel Google context menu on toolbar right-click
posted

I have programatically added popup menu's to various toolbar buttons so that when I right click on the button the menu appears.  However, the Google context menu also appears.

The right click is captured in the tb_Click event (client-side) and I popup the menu within this event routine with igmenu_showMenu.  The menu appears, along with the Google context menu.  I have tried setting oEvent.event.cancelBubble  = true and oEvent.event.returnValue = false, and also Return false, but none of these stop Goggle.

I am using IE7, if that could make a difference.

Any suggestions?

    I determined that had to capture the 'oncontextmenu' at the document level to stop this.

    Basically, its a matter of returning False for the when the oncontextmenu event occurs, but since I didn't want to do this except for when I had previously captured the right click, I did the following:

    CapturedRightClick = false;
    document.attachEvent('oncontextmenu', OnContextMenu);

    function OnContextMenu() {
        if (CapturedRightClick) {
            CapturedRightClick = false;
            return false}}

    function tbClick(oToolbar, oButton, oEvent) {
         if (oEvent.event.button == 2) {
            CapturedRightClick = true;
            igmenu_showMenu(menuname, oEvent, oEvent.event.x, oEvent.event.y)}}
