Question

I’m trying to use this menu as a context menu for a file tree, so it needs to know the current file so that it can work out what options to show and also be aware of current state for copy operations.

I tried to use the additionalData but it looks like that only evaluates when you build the page. How do I make it work for dynamic data/Context from the web page.

Answer 1

there’s a global variable setted to the $.menu object that returns the last contextualmenu element you clicked on:

$.mbMenu.lastContextMenuEl.

Try this function applied onContextualMenu callback:

//this function get the id of the element that fires the context menu.
  function testForContextMenu(el){
  if (!el) el= $.mbMenu.lastContextMenuEl;
  alert("the ID of the element is: "+$(el).attr("id"));
}
