ContextMenu not showing on Button

Mantorok

Hi

I have a button on a Windows Form and it has a ContextMenu set, when the
user clicks the button I want the menu to appear, I've tried this:

btnMenu.ContextMenuStrip.Show();

Absolutely nothing happens.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Kev

You mentioned ContextMenu and ContextMenuStrip. These are different
components. Ensure that you're setting either the ContextMenu or
ContextMenuStrip property with the appropriate component. Then call one of
the Show method overloads that allows you to specify the location. For
example...

this.btnMenu.ContextMenuStrip.Show(this.btnMenu, 0, 0);
