I am trying to display a ContextMenuStri p when a user right-clicks on an
item in a ListView and have encountered a something that seems strange to
me.
When the ListView is initially populated, no items are selected. When the
first item is selected by clicking either the left or right button, the
SelectedIndexCh anged event fires but not the MouseUp event. After the first
item is selected and another item clicked on, both the SelectedIndexCh anged
and MouseUp events fire.
Since I am calling Show() for the context menu in the MouseUp event when the
right button is clicked, no context menu is displayed when the first
selection is made by right-clicking an item.
Can anyone tell me if it is normal behavior for the MouseUp event not to
fire when the first selection is made? Is there any way to ensure the
context menu is displayed for the first selection?
Thanks,
Tom

I cannot qanswer your question about the MouseUp event, but I am
wondering how come you are not using the "buildt in" method of showing
a context menu by setting the ListView's ContextMenu property?
Quite frankly, I probably used the MouseUp event to show the the context
menu in some special case and just got in the habit of using it.
There is one notable difference between the way the context menu is shown
when the listview property is set and the way it shows using the MouseUp
event. When I removed the MouseUp event handler and let the listview show
the context menu, the context menu only appears when an item is selected
with a mouse button click and then the selected item is right-clicked. In
other words, it always behaves the way it does when the first item is
selected by a right-click. At least, letting the listview handle the context
menu offers consistent behavior.

Hi Tom,
Thank you for your prompt reply!
I performed another test in VS2008, version 9.0.21022.8 RTM, but still
didn't reproduce the problem.
What's the OS version on which you run the application? You may have a try
running the application on another machine to see if the problem still
exists.

I'm running Windows XP Professional SP2 but if this is OS related, I can't
really test on another system because they are all running the same OS.

If you handle the ListView's MouseDown event instead of the MouseUp event,
does the problem still exist?

Linda,
I had set the ContextMenuStri p property for the ListView and was also trying
to open the context menu in the MouseUp event handler. I thought these two
methods might be interferring with one another so I tried them one at a
time.
First, I tried commenting out the MouseUp event handler and letting the
ListView handle the context menu as was suggested in zacks' reply to my
initial post and the behavior I see is:
1) a right-click on an unselected item only selects it (no context menu
opens)
2) a right-click on a selected item opens the context menu.
This happens consistently. Is this the expected behavior?
Next, I tried only handling the context menu with the MouseUp event and a
right-click on a selected item opens the context menu, however, after
selecting another item and left-clicking on the previously selected item,
sometimes the context menu opened. It is like one or more MouseUp events
were being handled out of sequence.
In my application, when an item is selected in the ListView, data is
retrieved from a database and used to populate various controls on the
UserControl which causes focus to be removed from the ListView. Could this
cause the mouse events to be sent to the other controls, thereby, causing
the mouse events to be out of sequence?
If so, would the problem be resolved by setting the focus back to the
ListView after populating the other controls?
Thanks,
Tom

Linda,
This is the same user control we corresponded about after my post on 3/24.
I could never get drag & drop to work properly and this problem is regarding
implementing copy/paste via a context menu to replace the drag & drop.
I am convinced there is too much going on when an item is selected, e.g.
retrieving data from SQL Server, populating controls... This is compounded
by the fact that my list view is instantiated from derived ListView class to
extend the ListView functionality.
I never could get the context menu to open with a single right-click when I
set the ContextMenuStri p property of the list view, however, it is working
now with the MouseUp event handler. Frankly, I changed so many things I'm
not sure what finally got it working.
Thanks for your help.
Tom

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.

Hi group,
Someones gonna answer this in two seconds flat but im tearing my hair out.
Create a form, add a listview, add 5 items and programmatically select item
at index 3.
this.imageList.Items.EnsureVisible();
this.imageList.Items.Selected = true;
That works fine. Use the mouse to select index 4 and again, works sweetly.

I ask because I'm getting a very annoying ArgumentOutOfRangeException
