Documentation

Definition

In order to be able to register lists for the 'Right mouse button' event, the function key SHIFT-F10 must be assigned an active function

code. If you select 'List with context menu', a function is assigned to SHIFT-F10 in the function key settings. You must subsequently decide in which statuses you want the function to be active. You can use the function 'Activate function in multiple statuses' to do so.

In order to be able to fill a context menu, the ON_CTMENU_REQUEST routine must be implemented in the list programming with the USING parameter <p_menu> TYPE REF TO CL_CTMENU.

Use methods from the class CL_CTMENU to fill the context menu. The menu is then sent at runtime.

Sample programs:

• CTMENU_BUILD            Using methods from class CL_CTMENU
• CTMENU_LIST            Context menus in lists
• CTMENU_TREE_LIST        Context menus in trees that have been created using RS_TREE
