(Double)Tappable list items about fyne HOT 9 CLOSED

I would like to be able to have a "right-click" menu on the list item, but also to be able to select the list item and apply logic when the user presses the DELETE key. Is this possible?

I think this is a duplicate of #2551.
We need to re-work the tap handling in the desktop/GLFW driver code to resolve this issue.

I agree. Looks like a duplicate. Let’s close this in favour of the other issue.

I would like to be able to have a "right-click" menu on the list item, but also to be able to select the list item and apply logic when the user presses the DELETE key. Is this possible?

This is possible, if you have your list item implement Tappable and SecondaryTappable. In your Tapped handler, you can just call list.Select(itemID). In your TappedSecondary handler, you show the menu. For the delete key logic, you probably want to extend the List widget itself to provide a replacement for the TypedKey handler that handles DELETE specially, but delegates all other keys to the base List's TypedKey handler.

#2551 mentions assigning a reference to the list and the item ID to the list item in the updateItem() func. That would work for a regular list but I'm using an untyped list and the updateItem() func for that does not pass the ListItemID, but rather the binding.DataItem. Is there no way to reference the ListItemID in this function?

from fyne.

For now I'm simply creating a custom form of NewLisWithData that exposes the ListItemID to the updateItem func.

func NewListWithDataWithID(data binding.DataList, createItem func() fyne.CanvasObject, updateItem func(widget.ListItemID, binding.DataItem, fyne.CanvasObject)) *widget.List {
	l := widget.NewList(
		data.Length,
		createItem,
		func(i widget.ListItemID, o fyne.CanvasObject) {
			item, err := data.GetItem(i)
			if err != nil {
				fyne.LogError(fmt.Sprintf("Error getting data item %d", i), err)
				return
			}
			updateItem(i, item, o)
		})

	data.AddListener(binding.NewDataListener(l.Refresh))
	return l
}

So close. I supplied a TypedKey handler to the custom list in order to grab the DELETE keypress as suggested, but it seems that selecting a list item by clicking on it with the mouse does not also set focus to the list so the event is never captured unless I also tab into the list, even after making a selection.

For that last one you can focus it yourself after you call Select, using fyne.CurrentApp().Driver().CanvasForObject(theList).Focus(theList)

This seems more like a discussion, you should consider joining one of our support channels or using GitHub discussions instead of a bug report.
