Popup menu

You can add a popup menu to the table by specifying the appropriate flags using the setPopupOptions method. The menu will be posted when the user clicks mouse button 3 anywhere over the table.

The following options are supported in the popup menu:

Option flag Effect 
POPUP_NONE (default)   No popup menu will be displayed.
POPUP_CUT Adds a Cut button to the popup menu.
POPUP_COPY Adds a Copy button to the popup menu.
POPUP_PASTE Adds a Paste button to the popup menu.
POPUP_EDIT  POPUP_CUT | POPUP_COPY | POPUP_PASTE
POPUP_INSERT_ROW Adds Insert Row Before/After buttons to the popup menu.
POPUP_INSERT_COLUMN Adds Insert Column Before/After buttons to the popup menu.
POPUP_DELETE_ROW Adds Delete Rows button to the popup menu.
POPUP_DELETE_COLUMN Adds Delete Columns button to the popup menu.
POPUP_CLEAR_CONTENTS Adds Clear Contents/Table buttons to the popup menu.
POPUP_MODIFY POPUP_INSERT_ROW | POPUP_INSERT_COLUMN | POPUP_DELETE_ROW | POPUP_DELETE_COLUMN | POPUP_CLEAR_CONTENTS 
POPUP_READ_FROM_FILE  Adds Read from File button to the popup menu.
Note:

Include POPUP_INSERT_ROW with POPUP_READ_FROM_FILE to allow automatic expansion of the table for data files with more lines than the current table definition.

POPUP_WRITE_TO_FILE  Adds Write to File button to the popup menu.
POPUP_ALL  POPUP_EDIT | POPUP_MODIFY | POPUP_READ

You can also add a custom button to the popup menu by using the table's appendClientPopupItem method, as shown in Figure 1.

The following example shows how you can enable various popup menu options: 

vf = FXVerticalFrame(parent, FRAME_SUNKEN|FRAME_THICK,

table = AFXTable(vf, 4, 3, 4, 3, None, 0,
    AFXTABLE_NORMAL|AFXTABLE_EDITABLE)

table.setLeadingColumns(1)
table.setLeadingRows(1)
table.setLeadingRowLabels('X\tY')

table.showHorizontalGrid(True)
table.showVerticalGrid(True)
        
table.setColumnWidth(0, 30)

# Center all columns 
table.setColumnJustify(-1, table.CENTER)
          
table.setPopupOptions(
    AFXTable.POPUP_CUT|AFXTable.POPUP_COPY
   |AFXTable.POPUP_PASTE
   |AFXTable.POPUP_INSERT_ROW
   |AFXTable.POPUP_DELETE_ROW
