# Class ContextMenuEvent

java.lang.Object
java.util.EventObject
javafx.event.Event
javafx.scene.input.InputEvent
javafx.scene.input.ContextMenuEvent

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`, `Cloneable`

public class ContextMenuEvent extends InputEvent
When the user requests a context menu, this event occurs. Context menus can be triggered by the mouse or the keyboard. The exact sequence of mouse or keyboard events that is used to request a menu is platform specific. For example, on Windows, Shift+F10 requests a context menu.

The event coordinates contain default position for the context menu. For mouse-triggered events it is the position of the mouse cursor, for keyboard-triggered events it is a point inside of bounds of current focus owner (which is the event's target).

  JavaFX 2.1

  - ### copyFor

    public ContextMenuEvent copyFor(Object newSource, EventTarget newTarget)
    Description copied from class: `Event`
    Creates and returns a copy of this event with the specified event source and target. If the source or target is set to `null`, it is replaced by the `NULL_SOURCE_TARGET` value.
    Overrides:
      `copyFor` in class `Event`
    Parameters:
      `newSource` - the new source of the copied event
      `newTarget` - the new target of the copied event
    Returns:
      the event copy with the new source and target

  - ### getEventType

    public EventType<ContextMenuEvent> getEventType()
    Description copied from class: `Event`
    Gets the event type of this event. Objects of the same `Event` class can have different event types. These event types further specify what kind of event occurred.
    Overrides:
      `getEventType` in class `Event`

  - ### getSceneY

    public final double getSceneY()
    Returns vertical position of the event relative to the origin of the `Scene` that contains the ContextMenuEvent's source.
