how to show popup on mouse right click on a cell of table widget

i have a table widget placed on the widget, i want to show popup on mouse right click on a cell of table widget, the code is workin fine but the popup is not confined only to the table widget it is also generating all over the widget i.e. either it is push button or anywhere

so need some help regarding this.............................................. ..........:confused:

Can we see the code ?
You seem to be using a menu pointer from various places. Without code its hard to say what wrong are u doing.

It's called "context menu". See this post. Same approach works for table widget.

Code:
