Question

I've got a flet app that includes controls that handle right-click events. It all works fine when I run it as a desktop app; but when I run it as a web app in the browser, right-clicking pops up the usual browser right-click popup menu, and the app's right-click event handler is never called. How do I make it ignore the browser's right-click handler?

Ah ha! That looks useful - but is that exposed in flet? I searched the flet docs and didn't see any mention of BrowserContextMenu, and flet.BrowserContextMenu doesn't exist.

The link is for the dev going to work on implementing this.
