How can I add a context menu to a gframe
in gWidgets2
? I tried the following construct, but it seems that I cannot attach a addPopupMenu
to a gframe
:
require(gWidgets2)
w <- gwindow("gformlayout", visible=T)
f <- gframe("frame", horizontal=FALSE, container=w)
l <- glabel("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, \nconsectetur adipiscing elit.", container=f)
b <- gbutton("change name", container=f, handler=function(h,...) {
names(f) <- "new name"
})
lst <- list(gaction('world', handler=function(h,...) svalue(world) <- "world"),
gaction('continent', handler=function(h,...) svalue(world) <- "continent"),
gaction('country', handler=function(h,...) svalue(world) <- "country"),
gaction('state', handler=function(h,...) svalue(world) <- "state"))
add3rdmousePopupMenu(f, lst)
#addPopupMenu(f, lst)
add3rdmousePopupMenu(b, lst)
The context-menu is attached fine to the button, but NOT to the gframe
. So how can I add a context menu that would pop-up when right-clicking the gframe
label?
UPDATE
As per the answers, I tried the code below:
require(gWidgets2)
f <- gframe("", cont=gwindow())
l <- glabel("label") # no cont argument
add3rdmousePopupMenu(l, list(a=gaction("Hi")))
f$block$setLabelWidget(l$block) # the voodoo
But when I right-click
on the label
, I only get the standard Gtk context menu for selecting text:

@landroni I didn't check, but would be surprised if popup menus could be added to gframe labels directly. But with Gtk things can be worked around. Here is how you can put a popup menu in the label position:
f <- gframe("", cont=gwindow())
l <- glabel("label") # no cont argument
add3rdmousePopupMenu(l, list(a=gaction("Hi")))
f$block$setLabelWidget(l$block) # the voodoo
l$widget$setSelectable(FALSE) # may not be needed
As for whether this is intuitive to the users, I'll let you decide....
