I have a question: when the popup window appears,(eg 'Nested Context Menus' in your example), if you do right click anywhere in that window, it will show the full default context menu(Zoom in, Show All ....), how to hide it if possile? I tried, it seems I cannot do it. Thanks Lu Hi Kevin,

I'm trying to setup a context menu for a Tree control where the context menu is different for right-clicking on a folder item or leaf item. However, it doesn't do that. It just displays the set of menu items defined (lastly, in an If...else construct) for the leaf items. How can I resolve this? Thanks Hi.

So when you choose a menuitem another submenu is displayed? I can't find any examples anywhere? Thanks, Alex Can you embed menu’s within menu’s. So when you choose a menuitem another submenu is displayed? I can’t find any examples anywhere?

I noticed I get nothing when I add an event listener for mouse events, but if I add a listener (specifically to the ContextMenuItem) for a ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT, it works as expected. This is on a Tree control contained in an HBox. ICBW but I think the only event recognized on a ContextMenu is a ContextMenuEvent.MENU_SELECT, and the only event recognized on a ContextMenuItem is a ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT.

The context menu appears, but when I click an item, nothing happens. It works with other controls, just not the Tree. I read that some controls disallow MouseEvents on their children/items, so you have to create a custom item renderer or extend the item renderer class to allow MouseEvents on the items in the list. Do you know if this applies to the Tree control, or do you have any other information that might help me?
