Right click to selct item in a Listbox

[Niels Jensen]

Is there a way to select an item ina listbox with the right click event?
basically I want a user to be able to rightclick an item which will select
the item and then bring up the context menu which has a delete option in it.

As it stands if I select an item and then rightclick a seperate item
selecting delete will remove the selected item instead of the one that was
right clicked

Cheers

Hi,
One way is to handle the MouseDown event of the list box:

If (e.Button = MouseButtons.Right) Then
ListBox.SelectedIndex = ListBox.IndexFromPoint (e.X, e.Y)
End If
