Can't add Menu to TabItem

[mwmcmullen]

Just tried Googling this to which the perfect link came up however it didn't load.

I'd like to a Menu to the TabItem 'header' section, i.e. the little tab bit that contains the name of the tab in the TabPanel.

I've tried a simple:

/*
* Class that extends TabItem
* Constructor then calls the following method:
*/

final Menu menu = new Menu();
menu.setWidth(150);
final MenuItem renameTab = new MenuItem();
renameTab.setText("Rename Tab");
renameTab.setIconStyle("expand");
renameTab.addSelectionListener(new SelectionListener<MenuEvent>()
{
	@Override
	public void componentSelected(MenuEvent ce) 
	{
		final Listener<MessageBoxEvent> l = new Listener<MessageBoxEvent>()
		{
			@Override
			public void handleEvent(MessageBoxEvent be) 
			{
				if(be.getButtonClicked().getItemId().equals(Dialog.NO))
				{
				}
				else if(be.getButtonClicked().getItemId().equals(Dialog.YES))
				{
				}
			}
		};
		MessageBox.confirm("dostuff", "Are you sure?" , l);
	}
});
menu.add(renameTab);

setContextMenu(menu);

This isn't working. Am I right in assuming this setContextMenu *should* do what I desire?

I also encountered this issue. Why there is nobody answer it?

The header is not part of the TabItem. You need to assign the menu to your TabPanel. Then you also need to add an Events.ContextMenu listener. The listener needs to cancel that event if the target is not the header stripe.
