When I do a RIghtClick on my mouse in a example of the new release of Silverlight I get an "pop-up" where I can click on with the text : "About Microsoft Silverlight"
and the link behind: http://www.microsoft.com/SILVERLIGHT/
Is it possible to disable this function? can't find where it is in the source code.
So when you make something with SilverLight for a costumer on a site or something, he always get that alert when he does the right mouse click?
please, dont let it be.
And also when you do full screen, now you see your ip adres when you've got your SilverLight example on a webserver.
I had a discussion with Barak Cohen about the right click behaviour. Right now in latest Silverlight release, you get a small context menu with one item "About Silverlight". Barak has said that MS is looking for input on whether the content menu should
be programmable, in the sense that you could add your own menu items. I don't think there's going to be a "onRightMouseDown, 'move, 'enter, 'leave and 'up" set of events.
Why would we NOT want context menus? I'm very surprised they aren't already supported. Could you give an explanation as to why context menu support was left out?
Thanks for the feedback. It's not that users don't want context menu, just that we had to prioritize our feature set for 1.0 and 1.1. A lot of DHTML web sites use other means to expose context options – things like
fly-over links where a option UI expands out. While Flash has the ability to customize the context menu I personally don't like that you can't style the context menu to have the look and feel of your app. We want to ensure that what we provide meets the needs
of our users, so we want your feedback!

I would venture to guess the reason context menus are not widely used is because they're difficult to do with DHTML. Unless one is using a DHTML/AJAX toolkit that provides menu controls context menus aren't worth the pain.
However.. if one were using a super cool toolkit like, oh, say Silverlight then one would definitely want to offer context menus to their users. [:D]
I want to use Silverlight in a sophisticated GIS/mapping application but I need context menus first. [:(]

Is there any work around to get the right click event on an object,
is it going to be supported in release versions?
Thanks

I had responded to a post similar to this on the msdn forums (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1044903&SiteID=1 and http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1529091&SiteID=1) – In 1.0 there won't be support for right mouse click or context menu events. We also will not have support in 1.0 for customizing the context menu.
We are looking for ways to provide related events or customization of the context menu in future versions.

Thanks, this would be useful. Right mouse click is a nice feature to have, and a decent limitation to lose.
Thanks,
