Adding a Menu to a ContentPanel when Icon is clicked

[francescoNemesi]

Hi there,

I have a TabPanel in whose TabItems the user can add/remove ContentPanel(s). I would like to add a Menu to the ContentPanel. The Menu should be displayed when the user clicks on the ContentPanel icon.

Any ideas?

Thank You!

Thanks, but that would mean actually creating a toolbar in the TopComponent, add a button to it and then use the setMenu() method. What I'd like to do is display a menu when the user clicks the icon in the header on the top left on the ContentPanel.

This way I would not waste screen estate with another toolbar.

Thanks again.

try this...

create a toolbutton, add to panel header and then when click event fires, create a menu and call menu.show(toolbutton)

Works perfectly! Very last question...

Is there a way to display the ToolButton(s) on the left before the header text instead of right?

I can't thank you enough for all your help

not that I know... consider extending ContentPanel and replacing header with your own extended header that implements the buttons differently - you have the source and would be really easy to do

Cool!
