how to tell mousedown is context menu

If I create a control library control (and change the base control
from usercontrol to control). Add that control to the toolbox, then
add that control to a windows form. Then add a context menu to the
control. Within the control, how do you tell when a context menu has
been instanced? I don't see any overrides I can work with.

Trapping the mousedown and up doesn't help much either because you can
have multiple mouse up events if someone brings up a context menu then
right clicks on the context menu. Is there an easy way to be notified
and work with a context menu on your control?

The menus I'm creating a based on files and directories, so naturally the menu creation takes some time.

Hi again, thanks everyone for your previous help. But having resolved past problems, I'm moving on to new problems :( This one is a simple winforms application with two buttons, named Button1 and Button2, on it (code below). When I press the mouse button over Button2, and don't release it, in the IDE output window it prints "Button2_MouseDown" only. If I release the mouse button over the button, over the form, or even over ANY other...

Hi, I'm looking of a way (preferred - a ready class or dll) to customize the context menu. many application has more controls inside the context menu (like textbox, sliders, checkbox, panel etc'). is there a way making this without writing my own context menu (meaning, popup form or something) ?

I have a list view which contains various object types and I need to create a context menu with menu items dependent on the object type. I can detect the object type at MouseDown. I've written code to create the context menu but on first click, it doesn't work. On the second click on the same type of object, it shows the correct menu items. After that, basically, it shows the menu items that correspond to the previous object I clicked...

I'm working on a plotting control. The plotting control will have a context menu with basic commands for "scaling", "zooming", etc. Is there a way that, from the parent form, I can add more commands to the control's context menu? I'm envisioning a case where the control has a set of context menu items, and the parent form also has a set of context menu items. Thanks.

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

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
