WebContextMenu not working for WebButton when browsin in IE11

yudi — Tue, 18 Aug 2015 01:25:54 GMT

In previous version, components that use WebMenu engine such as WebContextMenu, WebMenuBar, WebToolBar, WebDesktopManager, and WebNotification will have its window displayed in a special "popup" type when running in Internet Explorer browser.

The main advantage of the "popup" window type is its ability to display its content out of the browser's window boundary. However, Internet Explorer 7.0 (or newer) has removed this function from "popup" object and introduced limited positioning by design.

To overcome this limitation and to introduce other possible new features, the MenuWindowType is now added to WebMenu component.

Note: The default value is set to Popup to preserve the behavior in previous version.

Hope this helps.

Hy Yudi,
The problem was that
<MenuStyleSettings MenuWindowType="Normal" />
was missing in my context menu. "Popup" seems to be the default.

Can you tell me what is the difference and why IE11 is sensitive for this but not Chrome nor FireFox?

The above screenshot shows my simple sample of WebContextMenu is rendered no IE 11 browser.

I enclosed the modified version of SimpleLayout.aspx (one of WebPaneManager sample) where WebButton and WebContextMenu are added into the Side pane. Please have the sample evaluated on your end and let me know if you have different result.

Im using ISnet.WebUI.WebDesktop.dll version 4.0.7200.14, same as you.
Yes Compatibility Mode is disabled
and Document mode is "Edge (Default)" and User agent string is "Default"
I dont know if it changes anything, that the WebButton is located in a:

                    <ISWebDesktop:WebGroupPane Name="groupPaneContent">                        <Panes>
                            <ISWebDesktop:WebPane HeaderVisible="No" Name="paneNavigator" Height="Custom" HeightValue="40px" AllowResize="No" ContentPadding-Top="1" ContentScrollable="False">
                                <ContentTemplate>

I tried to reproduce the reported problem in my local end by viewing BasicContextMenu.aspx sample file of WebDesktop in IE 11 browser but my efforts were not successful -- the menu (and its submenu(s)) is accessible and the mouse-over menu items works without any issues.

Could you please ensure the following in your IE 11 browser:

Document mode is Edge (Default) and User agent string is Default.
Compatibility view is disabled.

For your information, I'm using WebDesktop 4 build 14. Please let me know your response.

Hi,

I have a WebContextMenu defined as shown below in a HTML5 form.
It works fine when I right click the WebButton in Chrome and FireFox. But when I right click the button in IE11 the menu pops up, but nothing can be selected from it. It seems not sensing the mose over menu-items.

<ISWebDesktop:WebContextMenu ID="WebContextMenu1" runat="server" Visible="true" ToolTip="Actions" ControlId="c_wbRetrieve" RenderingMode="HTML5">
	<Items>
		<ISWebDesktop:WebMenuItem Name="c_wcmmiShowLastURL" Text="Show report URL..." ImageURL="~/Images/Icons/url_16.png" OnClick="OnShowLastUrlClicked" />
		<ISWebDesktop:WebMenuItem Name="c_wcmmiPrintPage" Text="Print report..." ImageURL="~/Images/Icons/print_16.png" OnClick="OnPrintReport" />
		<ISWebDesktop:WebMenuItem  Type="Separator" />
		<ISWebDesktop:WebMenuItem Name="c_wcmmiRetrieveData" Text="Retrieve data..." ImageURL="~/Images/Icons/house_16.png" OnClick="OnRetrieveDataClicked" />
		<ISWebDesktop:WebMenuItem  Type="Separator" />
		<ISWebDesktop:WebMenuItem Name="c_wcmmiLogOut" Text="Log out" ImageURL="~/Images/Icons/logout_16.png" OnClick="OnLogoutClicked" />
	</Items>
</ISWebDesktop:WebContextMenu>

The document containing the button and menu is HTML5 defined such at the top:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
