I have a parent Item 'Matrix'.
Matrix has a relationship tab called 'Project Documents', which is loaded by an onBeforeGet Method.
'Project Documents' is a Relationship Item with several properties, each one is mapped to a specific 'Document' Item.
Now I want users to be able to right-click on a cell and the system to know which cell has been clicked on.
Either I want to change the Right-Click Menu,
Or I want the selected action to know which cell was clicked.
The closest I have come to finding an answer is with event handles, but I don't know where I would need to attach the code.
GridContainer. Event:gridMenuInit Method
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Martin
Hi Martin,
The easiest way to accomplish this would be to add an Item Action to the Project Documents relationship ItemType. Item Actions will automatically be added to the Right-click menu of the relationship grid.
You can then look up the value of the selected cell using code like the sample below.
// Get the grid
var relationshipsId = window.relationshipsControl.currTabID;
var relationshipsFrame = window.frames[relationshipsId];
var gridApp = relationshipsFrame.contentWindow.gridApplet;
// Get the value of the selected cell
var selCell = gridApp.getSelectedCell();
var cellValue = selCell.getValue();
Please note that there is currently a bug filed with the getSelectedCell() method where it returns incorrect results if the relationship grid displays a mix of properties on the related ItemType as well as on the relationship ItemType.
