Calculate height of context menu (Compact Framework)

I'm trying to calculate the height of a context menu in a manner that will
work in both the full framework (where the calculation is easier because of
the MeasureItem event of a MenuItem) and the compact framework (no
MeasureItem event, which is why I'm stuck).

I have a button that, when pressed, shows a context menu that the user is to
make a selection from. Right now, I am always showing the menu below the
button, but this is obviously not sufficient if the menu is taller than the
distance from the bottom of the button to the bottom of the form; in which
case I want to show the menu above the button. Anyone know how to calculate
the height of the Menu or MenuItem?

Thanks,

Derrick

I have a fairly straight-forward form that loads preferences upon running, and saves them upon exiting. Included in the preferences are things like window size & location, working directory, etc. There seems to be a problem with the way the size of the form is being calculated. If you run/exit/run/exit a bunch of times, the form keeps growing vertically. This is because it looks like the forms Menu is not being included into the size...

Is there a way to modify the standard context menu shown when someone right clicks in a windows text box and that would work for all open windows applications? The standard context menu for a text box has 6 items, undo, cut, copy, paste, delete and select all.

I've got a ListView which can show many different types of object. I need to display a ContextMenu whose MenuItems depend on the object type.

Hi there, I have an app whose structure is as follows: a module calls a custom application context containing a notify icon and associated context menu, which in turn acts upon an instance of another class, I'll call Class1 (i.e. accesses its startup, shutdown, print reports methods).

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
