To prevent the default context menu of a TextBox from showing up, assign it as empty

textBox1.Contex tMenu = new ContextMenu();

Remove the control box from the form and you won't get the close/move context menu. I have never seen it come from a right-click though.

You could also try setting a custom empty context menu to the form and such?

EDIT: Please don't double post, you already had the question here.

My forms don't have a context menu, so I am unsure what you are getting at.
They have a controlbox menu though, which I think you can disable by changing the formborderstyle (and maybe the same way you do with max/min)

Hi, I'm trying to have a MSN Messenger like form/app closing behavior.
