    How to disable the browser's right click menu?

    Is there a way to turn off the default browser's right click context menu? The reason is that I won't have a Coolite context menu everywhere and I don't want the end user to be able to right click and get the browser's right click menu. I have seen this done before, so I'm sure it can be done.

    RE: How to disable the browser's right click menu?

    Generally I would tend to try and avoid disabling the browsers default contextmenu functionality, but if you insist, you could make it happen as follows.

    Add the following <script> somewhere within the <body> of your Page.

    Example

    <script type="text/javascript">
    Ext.onReady(function () {
        Ext.get(window.document).on('contextmenu',function (e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            return false;
        });
    });
</script>
    Or, add the following <Listener> to your <ext:ScriptManager>

    Example

    <ext:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
    <Listeners>
        <DocumentReady Handler="
                Ext.get(window.document).on('contextmenu', function (e) {
                    e.preventDefault();
                    return false;
                });" 
            />
    </Listeners>
</ext:ScriptManager>
    Hope this helps.
