ALV: Right Button Click and Context Menu

Question

Hi Experts,
I have to implement an ALV which should act on a right button click and show a context menu.
Is this possible? I found only events for "on_double_click" or "on_link_click" and is it possible to show a context menu?
Thanks in advanced.
Best regards,
Markus

Hello Markus
The relevant events are:
CONTEXT_MENU_REQUEST
USER_COMMAND
