Context(PopUp) Menu in Windows cursor position

Hi all

How can I display a Menu in windows within a
C# application without any form.
It has to be shown on the current windows cursor position.

Thanks for any help.

Loosely based on the msdn doc for ContextMenus:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private ContextMenu cm = new ContextMenu();

public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.ContextMenu = cm;
cm.Popup +=new EventHandler(MyPopupEventHandler);
}

private void MyPopupEventHandler(System.Object sender,
System.EventArgs e)
{
// Define the MenuItem objects to display for the TextBox.
MenuItem menuItem1 = new MenuItem("&Copy");
MenuItem menuItem2 = new MenuItem("&Find and Replace");
// Define the MenuItem object to display for the PictureBox.
MenuItem menuItem3 = new MenuItem("C&hange Picture");

// Clear all previously added MenuItems.
cm.MenuItems.Clear();
cm.MenuItems.Add(menuItem1);
cm.MenuItems.Add(menuItem2);
cm.MenuItems.Add(menuItem3);
}

Sorry, I misread what you needed. Are you asking how to add a menu item to
windows explorer context menu, such as when you click on the desktop?

Hi Mike

Thank you for you effort.

I just wanted to display a Menu on the current cursor position.

I have found out, it is quite simple:
this.contextMenuStrip1.Show(200, 200);

Thanks anyway

Frank

P.S. By the way:
Do you know how to programmaticly paste
the clipboard, also at the current cursor position ?

You can get the data by using System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard. Normally
though, pasting is enabled to controls. In other words, it should "just
work".

Yes, it just worked ))

Thanks and best regards
