Popup menu on Mapcanvas right-click

Question

I would like to have a pop-up menu when right-clicking the MapCanvas
(the identifyFeatures tool does it...)

Could anybody give me a starting point on how to achieve this?

Answer 1

Should have searched a bit more (...) :

class showMenu(QgsMapTool):
 def __init__(self, iface):
 canvas = iface.mapCanvas()
 QgsMapTool.__init__(self,canvas)
 self.canvas = canvas
 def canvasPressEvent(self,e):
 if e.button() == Qt.RightButton:
 menu = QMenu()
 quitAction = menu.addAction("AnyAction")
 action = menu.exec_(self.canvas.mapToGlobal(QPoint(e.pos().x()+5, e.pos().y())))
