It turns out that something odd is going on.  If you click in the very upper left corner of the uitable, something that is neither a row, column, or table cell which can also accept mouse clicks, then the context menu is displayed.  It seems probable that these 3 objects are intercepting the Right Click and then not passing it on.

Confirmed.  I tried creating a button with uicontrol and assigning it a context menu and this worked.  This is probably a deficiency of just the uitable object.

Hi, while trying to implement a contextmenu of a table, I noticed that there's a difference between Matlab and Octave. In Matlab, the following code generates a contextmenu that is accessible in the table body (where columns/rows are), in Octave that only shows up when the whole table is disabled.


f = figure;
t = uitable('data', magic(4));
m = uicontextmenu(f);
o1 = uimenu ('parent', m, 'label', 'option1', 'callback', 'disp("option1")');
set(f, 'ContextMenu', m)
set(t, 'ContextMenu', m)
