Since you are building your menu in |rightMouseDown:|, you will need to do
the same with |keyDown:| to trap a control-click.

That does not work as keyDown: does not fire when only the control key is pressed. Likewise, checking for modifiers in mouseDown: also does not work as mouseDown: does not get called on a control-click.


What I do to get similar behaviour from my tableView is to connect the menu to the tableView in interface-builder as usual and then override -(NSMenu *)menuForEvent:(NSEvent *)theEvent in my tableView subclass with the code where I extend the selection. I by the way first check whether the user has any columns selected so that I do not unexpectedly change from column to row selection:

-(NSMenu *)menuForEvent:(NSEvent *)theEvent
{
	 if([[self selectedColumnIndexes] count] == 0){
		//here do the stuff with row selection
	}
}

Hi all,

I've got a contextual menu which works perfectly in my NSTableView,
with the exception of the fact that it doesn't respond to control
+clicks, but works fine with right clicks. I've got the following in
my NSTableView subclass:

- (void)rightMouseDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent
{
        NSPoint p = [super convertPoint:[theEvent locationInWindow]
fromView:nil];

        int i = [super rowAtPoint:p];

if (i < [super numberOfRows])
[super selectRowIndexes:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:i]
byExtendingSelection:NO];


        [NSMenu popUpContextMenu:[super menu] withEvent:theEvent
forView:self];
}

Thanks in advance!
Brian Amerige.
