Context menu on listbox with checkboxes

[clausParticipant]

I am trying to make a listbox with checkboxes for each entry. Now I would like to use drag & drop to reorder elements, I have found a way to do this (see other post). But I also would like to use a context menu on the items, and I can’t find a way to disable (or a workaround to undo) the unchecking/checking of the checkbox if I right click on a item. I would like the rightclick only to activate the context menu and not change the “checked” state. Is this possible?

Hi claus,

Sorry, but there is no way to disable the checking on right or left click.

This is a pity. The Listbox with checkboxes also performs inconsistently with the standard browser context menu. Sometimes the checkmark is not changed, sometimes it is changed when trying to open the browser context menu. It seems to depend on how fast the mouse is released, if it is release rapidly the check status changes.

Anyhow, I guess it would be nice to be able to deactivate right-click checking/unchecking, maybe it even should be default. A user expects a context menu to not modifiy any data if no action from the menu is taken.

Kind regards, Claus

Anyway, here is a little workaround: http://jsfiddle.net/clausdenk/xpXb2/
