Hi,

The documentation mentions the evt\_tree\_item\_menu method for TreeCtrl  
but it seems that this method is not defined (wxRuby 1.9.4 on  
Windows).

As a workaround, I’m currently using evt\_tree\_item\_right\_click.

Cheers.

Wx::EvtHandler.register\_class(Wx::TreeEvent,  
Wx::EVT\_COMMAND\_TREE\_ITEM\_MENU,  
‘evt\_tree\_item\_menu’,  
1)

Thanks. This is much better than my basic workaround.  
Now the contextual menu key on my keyboard works also.
