use different context menu for dhtmlxgrid (milonic menu works for dhtmlxtree, but not dhtmlxgrid)

I know you have your own context menu for both dhtmlxtree and dhtmlxgrid.

I've been able to make the Milonic menu work fine with dhtmlxtree via oTree.setOnRightClickHandler(onRightClickTree) but have had limited success doing the same thing with dhtmlxgrid via oGrid.setOnRightClick(onRightClickGrid) -- basically what happens is the menu pops up for a fraction of a second then disappears.  This almost seems like a z-index thing.

It's not the menu -- I can access the grid version of the menu just fine from dhtmlxtree and it stays visible.  Is there something in the grid that I need to call in order to keep the popup menu visible?


function  onRightClickTree ( nodeID ) {
    nRightClickTree=nodeID;
    popup ( "contextMenuTree", 1 );   // milonic call to popup the menu (works great)
}

function onRightClickGrid ( nRow, nCellIndex, oEvent ) {
    nRightClickGrid=nRow;
    popup ( "contextMenuGrid", 1 );   // milonic call to popup the menu (is visible for a fraction of a second then disappears -- needs fast right clicking of the mouse to view before it disappears)
}

To further illustrate, I changed the onRightClickTree function to display the contextMenuGrid menu -- works fine so I know it's not a menu problem.

function  onRightClickTree ( nodeID ) {
    nRightClickTree=nodeID;
    popup ( "contextMenuGrid", 1 );
}

I'm not sure how the Milonic menu works, most probably it attaches some handler to one of DOM events, which trigered after onRightClick handler activation.

I'm not sure, but you  can try to add "return true;" to onRightClick handler ( based on it, the grid allows | prevents default context menu, it can be critical for Mionic menu.

function onRightClickGrid ( nRow, nCellIndex, oEvent ) {
    nRightClickGrid=nRow;
    popup ( "contextMenuGrid", 1 );   // milonic call to popup the menu (is visible for a fraction of a second then disappears -- needs fast right clicking of the mouse to view before it disappears)
    return true;
}

if problem still occurs - please provide any sample where problem can be reconstructed
