Simulating right click and selection from context menu

[Grzegorz (Greg) Pasternak]

Doug;

Yes, I meant Studio not java script client.  

The intention is to use this code in automated testing (sending messages to app to trigger certain actions and consequently get results).

This code:
=======================================================
Queue set current field {[pRow.cFldName]}
Queue click (Shift,Command/Ctrl) {[pRow.cFldName] (pRow.cLineNo)}
;  
Set reference vRef to $cinst.$objs.[pRow.cFldName]
Popup menu [vRef.$contextmenu]
=======================================================

will popup the context menu automatically (which is what I am after).

However, the above code is using explicit command "Popup menu"
I was thinking that queuing "right click" would be possible and would automatically popup context menu.

I think I will settle for "Popup menu" to put the issue to rest.

Thanks for your help.

Greg
