ContextMenu on JS DataGrid

[Andrea Zen]

You are right, I was about to reply the same...it is undesiderable in a mobile environment, and not intuitive in a desktop browser.
Actually I added the context menu to my web application only because I have problems with the double click on a line of the grid (sometimes it works, sometimes not...), so I added in the context menu the same function the user can launch with a double click.
But I doubt I'll use it again.
