    Context Menu Not Closing

    Hi,

    I have a list box with a context menu. When I right click the menu
    appears as expected. However when I select an option on the context
    menu the menu does not close. The click event on the menu is fired but
    the menu remains.

    Is there anyway I can get this menu to close when I select a menu
    option?

    Ive tried setting the ContextMenu property of the list box to nothing
    but the menu remains :(

    Its not until I click elsewhere that the menu disappears.

    Thanks for any help

    Fred

      Hi there,

      Can you should the code you are using to make the context menu appear
      please....

      If it's in an event could you copy and paste the entire event please,
      that would be helpful.

      Nick.

          Just in case anyone else gets this problem ......

          I changed the code and it all works fine now.

          Instead of setting the Context menu at Design time I do it all at
          runtime.....


          Private Sub lstStaff_MouseU p(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
          System.Windows. Forms.MouseEven tArgs) Handles lstStaff.MouseU p
          If e.Button = MouseButtons.Ri ght Then

          lstStaff.Contex tMenu = Me.mnuPopup
          lstStaff.Contex tMenu.Show(lstS taff, New Point(e.X,
          e.Y))
          lstStaff.Contex tMenu = Nothing
          End If
          End Sub

                  Nothing more frustrating than seeing someone else post the same problem
                  you've got but no follow up posts to say how it was solved! ;)

                  I discovered that setting a context menu at design time brought about a
                  few problems.

                  1. The menu did not disappear on click of a menu option.
                  2. Although I had the ContextMenu.Sho w in the MouseUp event it was
                  showing on the mouse down :s
                  3. I put a trap on the ListView selected Items property to say "don't
                  show the menu if nothing is selected" which it totally ignored!

                  All seemed strange to me but im sure there is some logic in there
                  somewhere!!

                  Thanks for responding though Nick.
