I'm trying to add some options to the context menu in a JavaFX WebView when the user right clicks a link, however I can't figure out how to do it.
I found I could add my own context menu using:
final ContextMenu contextMenu = new ContextMenu();
view.addEventHandler(MouseEvent.MOUSE_PRESSED, new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
System.out.println(mouseEvent.getEventType());
if(mouseEvent.isSecondaryButtonDown()) {
System.out.println("Secondary");
contextMenu.show(view, mouseEvent.getSceneX(), mouseEvent.getSceneY());
} else if (mouseEvent.isPrimaryButtonDown()) {
System.out.println("Primary");
} else if (mouseEvent.isMiddleButtonDown()) {
System.out.println("Middle");
}
}
});
javafx.scene.control.MenuItem menuItem1 = new javafx.scene.control.MenuItem("View Source");
menuItem1.setOnAction(new EventHandler<javafx.event.ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(javafx.event.ActionEvent actionEvent) {
System.out.println("Link: " + rightClickURL);
System.out.println("You clicked view source");
}
});
contextMenu.getItems().add(menuItem1);
Unfortunately, when I do that both menus appear:
If I use view.setContextMenuEnabled(false);
then the default menu disappears. Unfortunately doing that also prevents me from detecting which link was right clicked. Here is the code I'm using for that:
engine.getLoadWorker().stateProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Worker.State>() {
@Override
public void changed(ObservableValue ov, Worker.State oldState, Worker.State newState) {
if (newState == Worker.State.SUCCEEDED) {
EventListener listener = new EventListener() {
@Override
public void handleEvent(org.w3c.dom.events.Event evt) {
String domEventType = evt.getType();
if (domEventType.equals(EVENT_TYPE_CLICK)) {
String href = ((Element)evt.getTarget()).getAttribute("href");
} else if (domEventType.equals(EVENT_TYPE_RIGHT_CLICK)) {
String href = ((Element)evt.getTarget()).getAttribute("href");
rightClickURL = href;
System.out.println(href);
}
}
};
Document doc = engine.getDocument();
NodeList nodeList = doc.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (int i = 0; i < nodeList.getLength(); i++) {
((EventTarget) nodeList.item(i)).addEventListener(EVENT_TYPE_CLICK, listener, false);
((EventTarget) nodeList.item(i)).addEventListener(EVENT_TYPE_RIGHT_CLICK, listener, false);
}
}
}
});
So my question is this: how can I access the default ContextMenu so I can customize it? I've scoured the docs but cannot find any method that allows you to access the default ContextMenu. It seems like there must be a way to do this but I'm stumped as to how.
If customizing the default ContextMenu is not possible, does anyone know how I can show a custom context menu when right clicking a link and also capture which link was clicked? I've been trying to achieve this for days with absolutely no luck...
