ContextMenu in CE 4.2 ListView is Empty!

[jminiman]

Has anyone seen this? On Pocket PC 2003/WM 5.0, the ContextMenu that
I've added to my ListView control appears nicely when I tap and hold
the screen on a selected ListView item. In Windows CE, however, that
exact same code and action shows the circle of dots, but doesn't
display the ContextMenu. In File Explorer, and other Windows CE
applications not using CF.NET, the ContextMenu appears properly. And
when I explicitly open the ContextMenu of the ListView based upon some
arbitrary event (not clicking an item on the ListView), the ContextMenu
appears.

Has anyone seen this before?

Yes. On WinCE you have to show it manually yourself.

This contextmenu.show blog entry may be of use:

Also, this thread from 2003 may or may not be relevant in your scenario but
just in case:
