Capture right-click context menu click

Epicor ERP 10

Hey all,

I thought this might be under a tool click form event, but can’t seem to catch it:

In case the image doesn’t come through I’ve right-clicked on the assembly under quote>line>manufacturing to select “Get Details…”

We’re catching this from the Actions menu, but the context menu click has eluded me.

I need to catch the click and display a message before the Get Details form loads.

I’ve tried catching it in before tool click and in tool click, plus before adapter for QuoteAsm with no joy.

Thanks,

Joe

Why not just do it in pre-procesing on get details in a BPM? Then it covers everywhere.

Hi Brandon,

I need the message to pop up before we get to that point.

Thanks,

Joe

Can you share your ToolClick Code attempt? There is BeforeToolClick, AfterToolClick and ToolClick. It should emit the “GetDetailsTool” case.

But ultimately, remember the Context Menu is just the Menu each item on it is a Button. Which is registered with the baseToolsManager.

// Theoretical
EpiButton myButton = baseToolbarsManager.Tools["GetDetailsTool"];
// then you can add Click event to myButton

I’ve used the BeforeToolClick and the ToolClick. I can add a message box and see the actions, including a “GetDetailsTool” if I choose Actions>QuoteLine>Get Details, but nothing when I right-click on the assembly under Line>Manufacturing–it goes straight to the Get Details form without hitting the tool click code.

Thanks,

Joe

I suspect this is actually a right-click on a control, isn’t it? The tree view is not a tool as such, it’s a type of control.

Yes, I’m right-clicking on assemby 0 in the tree under the quote line>manufacturing tab. That gives me an idea.

Thanks,

Joe

You are right, I forgot.

See if you can find the Control under:

oTrans.JobTree.TreeContextMenu.MenuItems

Here is a boilerplate from Jose, showing how to add your own button. It should help. Quote Entry and Sales Order Entry both use Job Tree Lib.

Great! I’ll give it a try.

Thanks,
