TileGrid -Getting Relevant Record from Context Menu

[gkohen]

Hi,

I've added a context menu to my TileGrid to allow the user to perform an action on the relevant record when selecting the menu item. I was pouring over the documentation and I could not find a way to get the tile record the context menu was launched from, when in the context handler. The other option I was pondering about was adding a right click listener to each tile, but it seems inefficient to me.
The snippet of the code is:

		Menu galleryMenu=new Menu();
		MenuItem selectImageMenuItem=new MenuItem("Select Image");
		galleryMenu.addItem(selectImageMenuItem);
		selectImageMenuItem.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler()
		{
			
			@Override
			public void onClick(MenuItemClickEvent event)
			{
                       // Could not find a way to get to the clicked record
                       // from here. Could not rely on get selected, since
                       // a right click record is not necessarily previously
                       // selected. So the line below does not solve the issue.
				chooseImage(galleryGrid.getSelectedRecord());
				System.out.println(event.toDebugString());
				
			}
		});
		galleryGrid.setContextMenu(galleryMenu);

I'm using SmartGWT 2.2 with GWT 2.0.3 running on Windows XP SP3 32bit with Chrome 5.

Thanks for any suggestion.

I'm looking for a way to do the same thing. Any equivalent to ListGrid.addCellContextClickHandler() but for TileGrid?

We're adding this to API the 3.0 release branch. This will show up in nightly builds going forward.

Jay - a workaround for 2.5 would be to use EventHandler.getTarget() to determine which tile received the mouse event.

EventHandler.getTarget() gets me the Canvas for the tile that was right-clicked on, but how do I get to the associated Record?

The Tile object itself has a getRecord() method on it which is a documented API in SmartClient not yet wrapped for SGWT. So you could call that via JSNI and still be using supported APIs (even in 2.5).
