Right Clicking Listbox with select

[Chris]

I'm able to add a context menu to the right click on a listbox but it
does not select the item in the listbox. I would like the context
menu before it pops up to select the item that the mouse was over when
the right click occurred. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Cristov

Check out the ListBox's IndexFromPoint function, you can use this to set the
selected item when a right-click occurs.

Pete,

Thanks for the info. It worked great with my listbox. Now I'm having
the same problem with a listview though and it doesn't support the
IndexFromPoint method. Any ideas?

Cristov,

I just tried a ListView, and it seemed to seelct on rightclick anyway.
Are you manually showing the ContextMenu on the right Click event, or using
the ContextMenu property?
Mine was set to Activation = Standard and ContextMenu = my contextmenu, with
only an ItemActivate event handler.

However, the GetItemAt method is the ListView's equivilent.
