Here's a solution with left click. Couldn't get right to work. More info at linked StackOverflow page above. Code copied here:
classdef wtf < handle
properties
h %struct, this was an appdesigner handle
cm %context menu
end
methods
function obj = wtf()
h = struct;
h.UIFigure = uifigure();
h.UITable = uitable(h.UIFigure);
obj.h = h;
obj.h.UITable.SelectionChangedFcn = @obj.tableCall;
%Some data ...
s = struct;
s.a = (1:4)';
s.b = (5:8)';
obj.h.UITable.Data = struct2table(s);
%Our context menu
cm = uicontextmenu(obj.h.UIFigure);
m = uimenu(cm,'Text','Menu1');
obj.cm = cm;
%WTF ... without this we don't get a valid CurrentPoint
obj.h.UIFigure.WindowButtonMotionFcn = @obj.mouseMove;
end
function tableCall(obj,x,y)
cp = get (obj.h.UIFigure, 'CurrentPoint');
open(obj.cm,cp(1),cp(2));
selected_cell = y.Selection;
%Now we can run something on the context menu
%that targets the selected cell
end
function mouseMove(obj,x,y)
%we could store a point here
end
end
end
