I would like to create a popup menu using swift coding in a macOS app from a right click event using Xcode 11 or 12. Can't seem to find an example of this. I see plenty of IOS examples but none for macOS. Does anyone have an example of this you could share or could show me how this is done.
Also, I know how to add a menu to to the View Controller but this allows right click from anywhere in the tableView and I want the popup menu to show when you right click on a row in the table. If anybody is familiar with quicken for Mac I want the same function as it as when you right click on a row in an account register.
Here is the code for the right click event:
I have ask this question on couple of other forums as well as searched for tutorials on this and have come up empty.

Here is the code for the right click event:
Code Block // right click action override func rightMouseDown(with theEvent: NSEvent) { let point = tableView.convert(theEvent.locationInWindow, from: nil) let row = tableView.row(at: point) selectedCustomer = custviewModel.customers[row].custNumber! print(selectedCustomer) // Add popup menu print("right click") print(row) }

I extract from an app, hope that will provide a good enough answer.
In this case, I create a popup menu, with values from absMin to absMax. or no value (any). Some values may be disabled. I did not edit in detail, so some parts are probably less useful for you.
Hope that helps anyway.
