Context menu on listbox

[TipGiver]

Hi,

<VB.NET 2005>
A pretty simple question: I have assigned a context menu to a listbox. The menu does not appear when there is an item selected. It does not appear wherever i right-click on the listbox.

Can you suggest a way to fix it?

Thanks

Not sure you are looking for this... Here is a snippet that shows context menu on right-click of mouse.

   Private Sub ListBox1_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles ListBox1.MouseUp
        If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right Then
            With ContextMenuStrip1
                .Show(Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position.X, Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position.Y)
            End With
        End If

USING VB2005 EXPRES

Hi Zameer,

The good on the context menus is that you can assign it to any control at design-time also. I do from the properties of the listbox: contextmenu=(none) -> contextmenustrip1.
By this, I do not have to write any code like the above so as to show it.

I think that your code works fine.
