I need the ContextMenu NOT to show at certain times.

[Terry Olsen]

I have the ContextMenu property for a ListBox set at design time. When I
right-click the ListBox, the ContextMenu appears as it should. However, I do
not want the ContextMenu to show when the user right-clicks in the ListBox
but not on a ListItem.

I use the following code to enable/disable the ContextMenu, but I'd rather
have it not show at all. I tried putting ContextMenuStrip1.Hide in the
Catch section, but that doesn't work.

Private Sub lstPeople_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles lstPeople.MouseDown

Try

With lstPeople

..SelectedItem = .Items.Item(.IndexFromPoint(e.X, e.Y))

End With

ContextMenuStrip1.Enabled = True

Catch

ContextMenuStrip1.Enabled = False

End Try

End Sub
