[OpenLayers-Users] Using RightClick event as exposed in 2.7

[David Martin]

List,

There are a few questions about right mouse support in OL2.7 I have just
installed a patch which corrects an issue with the dblrightclick event
that was causing some issues when trying to capture right mouse events.
The ticket is http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/1995 - So if you want to
use right mouse events then install this patch and see the example cod
below which works as expected:

 

    OpenLayers.Control.Click = OpenLayers.Class(OpenLayers.Control, {
'handleRightClicks': true,

        defaultHandlerOptions: { 'single': true, 'double': true,
'stopSingle': false, 'stopDouble': false },

        initialize: function(options) {

            this.handlerOptions = OpenLayers.Util.extend({},
this.defaultHandlerOptions);

            OpenLayers.Control.prototype.initialize.apply(this,
arguments);

            this.handler = new OpenLayers.Handler.Click(this, {
'rightclick': this.righttrigger }, this.handlerOptions);

        },

        righttrigger: function(e) {

            alert('Right click');

        }

    });

Note that the Control must be configured to handleRightClicks and that
the double action in the defaultHandlerOptions must be true as the
single right mouse click event is triggered only if the code determines
that it is not a double click (a pain but required as the browsers do
not handle the right mouse well). I have used this code in the same
program as the navigation control as below: 

Map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.Navigation({ 'zoomWheelEnabled':
false, 'handleRightClicks': true }));

However you must install the patch first or wait till it is included and
released. Good luck.
