treeview right click select opening contextMenuStrip

[johnnypung]

I have a treeview opening a contextMenuStrip on right click. However the right click would not select the node that it right clicks on. How should I make it so the right click will select the node, and open the contextMenuStrip on that node?

I tried this:

 
private void treeView1_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{ 
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
{
treeView1.SelectedNode = treeView1.GetNodeAt(e.X, e.Y);
}
}
 

I found solutions online all points to using MouseDown or MouseUp as a solution. It selects the node when my right mouse button is still holding down. However on release of the button, the node that I selected before the right click becomes the selected node and contextMenuStrip opens on this selected node.


I tried setting a breakpoint in the if statement of MouseDown, however, it seems like it never even called the function! How weird...

Try this:

create the control, then select the NodeMouseClick event.

private void treeView1_NodeMouseClick(object sender, TreeNodeMouseClickEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Button.Equals(MouseButtons.Right))
            {
                treeView1.SelectedNode = treeView1.Nodes[e.Node.Index];
                contextMenuStrip1.Show(MousePosition);
            }
        }

this works fine for me.
