Does a ParamWidget know if its context menu is actually displayed on screen?

Inside a ParamWidget (e.g. Knob), is there a way to get notified about if actually the context menu is shown?

Unfortunately createContextMenu() can’t be overriden.

Only by a workaround. This does something different but it should get you on track:

stoermelder/vcvrack-packone/blob/v1-dev/src/components/ParamWidgetContextExtender.hpp

#pragma once
#include "plugin.hpp"

namespace StoermelderPackOne {

struct ParamWidgetContextExtender {
	Widget* lastSelectedWidget;

	struct CenterModuleItem : MenuItem {
		ModuleWidget* mw;
		void onAction(const event::Action& e) override {
			StoermelderPackOne::Rack::ViewportCenter{mw};
		}
	};

	void step() {
		Widget* w = APP->event->getDraggedWidget();
		if (!w) return;

		// Only handle right button events

Thanks! This works fine.
