how to popup context menu

[Guest]

Hi,

I am a new bee in C#. (I am a VC++ programmer long time already.)

I want to display a context menu in ListView. And the context menu items
will be changed during runtime -- it depends on the location which user
clicked, for example, over ListItem or not.

Now I set an empty contexMenuStrip to ContextMenuStrip of ListView. And add
ToolStripItems into this empty contexMenuStrip during "Opening" event of
contextMenuStrip. But it does not look correct.

Anyone knows what I must do?

Best Regards,

Hi,
donot not set the ListViews ContextMenuStrip before.
show the contextMenu when MouseClick event occurs.
ex:
private void listView1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {

if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right) {

contextMenuStrip1.Show(listView1, e.Location);
}
}

Hi,

First of all thanks for your reply.

Secondly, I have tried listView1_MouseClick. But this event only will be
fired when I right click on item.

And I have done one more test -- using listView_MouseDown and
listView_MouseUp with Capture=true. But if I right button down on an item in
listView, move the mouse out of the listview (even still in same form) and
release the right button. At this time I only receive one event
listView_MouseDown. -- it is ok for me. But when I move mouse back to the
ListView. A listView_MouseUp event will BE FIRED. So a context menu will be
displayed in this case.

Any good suggestion?

At the end thank you for your reply again.

Best Regards,

Instead of capturing the appropriate event(s), you may want to consider
simply setting the control's ContextMenu property and let the framework
handle its display.
