Hello,

I have a listview control with bunch of entries. When the user
right-clicks on the item, I want a context menu to come up. So I
created a ContextMenu instance and assigned it to ListView.ContextMenu
property.

The problem is that the context menu comes up regardless of whether I
right-click on the item or the empty space or the column header. I want
it only to come up when the user right-clicks on an item. How can I
control the ContextMenu better?

Hello,

The way I do it is to handle the AfterSelect() event of the listview item
and then determine what has been selected.

If a valid item was selected, then set the ContextMenu property to your
context menu otherwise you can set it to Nothing.

HTH

Hello Frank:

I think this might work for you:

'********************************************************************
Private Sub SelectItem(ByVal sender As Object, _
        ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) _
     Handles YourListViewName.MouseDown

Dim lvItem As ListViewItem

    lvItem = Me.YourListViewName.GetItemAt(e.X, e.Y)
If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right _
AndAlso Not IsNothing(lvItem) Then

Me.YourContextMenu.Show(CType(sender, ListView), _
New Point(e.X, e.Y))

End If

End Sub
'*********************************************************************
