QML controls 2 context menu

krojew

Hi,
I'm trying to show a simple context menu for an item:

Item {
    // bunch of children

    MouseArea {
            anchors.fill: parent
            onClicked: {
                if (mouse.button === Qt.RightButton) {
                    contextMenu.x = mouse.x;
                    contextMenu.y = mouse.y;

                    contextMenu.open();
                }
            }
        }

    Menu {
        id: contextMenu

        MenuItem {
            text: 'text'
        }
    }
}

Unfortunately, nothing is shown after the right-click. The documentation for Menu is really lacking any kind of info. Debug shows the handler for mouse click is working. What could be wrong?

Hi! See the two comments inside the code:

    Item {
        anchors.fill: parent // make sure mouse area's parent is bigger than zero

        MouseArea {
            anchors.fill: parent
            acceptedButtons: Qt.LeftButton | Qt.RightButton // default is Qt.LeftButton only
            onClicked: {
                if (mouse.button === Qt.RightButton) {
                    contextMenu.x = mouse.x;
                    contextMenu.y = mouse.y;
                    contextMenu.open()
                }
            }
        }

        Menu {
            id: contextMenu
            MenuItem {
                text: 'text'
            }
        }
    }

@Wieland said in QML controls 2 context menu:

acceptedButtons: Qt.LeftButton | Qt.RightButton

Thanks - setting acceptedButton solved the problem.
