I do it by checking the selecteditems.count property of the listview.. but I
am sure there are better ways of doing it

if selecteditems.count > 0
' show menu
end if

or if you have multi select on and want right click on only one selected

if selected items.count = 1
' show menu
end if

just an idea

Sameh,

You can include an If ....Else statement to check whether there is any
selected item in your list view. If no item is selected, then set the
visible property of your context menu item(s) to false.

example:

Private Sub ListView1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As
System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles
ListView1.SelectedIndexChanged
ControlContextMnu()
End Sub

Protected Overrides Sub OnLoad(ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
ControlContextMnu()
End Sub

Private Sub ControlContextMnu()
Dim ctmtem As MenuItem
If Me.ListView1.SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then
For Each mnuitem In ContextMenu1.MenuItems
mnuitem.Visible = False
Next
Else
For Each mnuitem In ContextMenu1.MenuItems
mnuitem.Visible = True
Next
End If
End Sub
