Disable ALV grid context menu

Question

Hello ABAP experts,
I have developed a program which shows some output in ALV grid (CL_GUI_ALV_GRID). I don't want the user to play with columns and rows of grid, so I have removed toolbar using following:
LVC_S_LAYO-NO_TOOLBAR
I have noticed, still user can hide or show columns and delete rows by right clicking on the grid. I want to disable right click or context menu. I am unable to get any hint so far.
I appreciate for some good solution.
Thanks,

Hi,
Just as stated by Max you can use the event 'CONTEXT_MENU_REQUEST' in the class 'CL_GUI_ALV_GRID'. In fact I just tried out calling the event. I set the handler for the event 'CONTEXT_MENU_REQUEST'. And then in the implementation I just called the clear method. Example is below.
class lcl_events_split definition.
  public section.
    methods:
    CONTEXT_MENU_REQUEST   for event CONTEXT_MENU_REQUEST
                                                    of cl_gui_alv_grid importing E_OBJECT.
endclass.                    "lcl_events_split DEFINITION
class lcl_events_split implementation.
  method CONTEXT_MENU_REQUEST.
      e_object->CLEAR( ).  "THIS SHOULD STOP THE RIGHT CLICK MENU BAR
    endmethod.
endclass. 
    CREATE OBJECT O_CC
      EXPORTING  CONTAINER_NAME = 'CC_ALV'.
    CREATE OBJECT O_ALV
      EXPORTING     I_PARENT = O_CC.
And before you call you grid for display below code is required.
  data: ls_spl_events   type ref to  lcl_events_split.   "Event Handler class
    set handler ls_spl_events->CONTEXT_MENU_REQUEST  for O_ALV.
    CALL METHOD O_ALV->SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY
      CHANGING
        IT_OUTTAB = T_MARA
        IT_FIELDCATALOG = LS_FIELDCATALOG. 
Hope this helps ......
