ContextMenu - MVP please help

Is there any reason why a ContextMenu object cannot be created (and
populated with menu items) in the constructor of the control for which it
will be used?

If not, then why don't my mnemonics show up if I do it this way? (they work
but don't show as umderlined)

If I create the ContextMenu in my form and use the ShowMenu() function from
my form, the mnemonics will appear properly.

If I do have to do it from my form, then I also have to process MouseUp() in
my control, then notify the parent form so that it can display the
ContextMenu (obviously not what I want to do, nor would it seem that this
would be Microsoft's intended behavior)

Please help!

Thanks in advance,
Valerie Hough

I have a form with a list view control, a button control and a main menu with menuDelete item. Any time I am handling a button click event or menuDelete click event I call DeleteItem() function which removes the selected item from the list. If I right-click on my list, I clone menuDelete item and display a pop-up menu. So, if user selects Delete item in the menu, I go through the same logic and remove the selected item.

I am trying to create a dynamic flyout submenu off of a contextmenu. I can right click and get the base contextmenu ok. On the Popup event I add MenuItem's to the collection of one of the items so it has a flyout submenu when selected. If I try and add more than 1 item to the submenu it only shows up the first time. This same code works fine if it is part of a MainMenu but not with a ContextMenu. Has anyone seen this before? Have you...

Hi, I got a problem with ContextMenu. I'm using a hot-key (like Ctrl-B) to show contextMenu in my program. Things is like below: contextMenu.Show(Form1, New Point(Cursor.Position.X,Cursor.Position.Y)); But it looks that the contextMenu can not get focus in this way, because I can not use the Up/Down keys on keyboard to do menu selections with the contextMenu.

I'm writing a control inheriting from ComboBox, and I'd like to add an entry to the ContextMenu for that combo box. I have no problem if I create an entirely new ContextMenu from scratch, but I'd prefer just to tack my MenuItem on to the existing, built-in ContextMenu (Cut, Copy, Paste, etc.): _RemoveMRUItemMenu = New MenuItem _RemoveMRUItemMenu.Text = "&Remove Item" _RemoveMRUItemMenu.Enabled = False

Hi, I am trying to show the shortcut menu on a richtextbox control by adding the contextmenu component onto the form. The richtextbox property is assigned to the contextmenu.

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