tree-view item and context menu

[Darin]

I have a form w/ a treeview on it, and a context menu tied to the
tree-view. I need to know what field on the tree is in blue when the
user does the right click. I thought I could use the treenode.text, but
that always returns the first option on the tree and the option that is
in blue. But, if i do the double-click, the text is the option that is
blue.

How can i get the highlighted option that wasn't double-clicked, but
instead was only right-clicked on?

If I understand what your asking then you probably want to handle the context
menus Opening event. I usually do something like:

Sub theContextMenu_ Opening (ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As CancelEventArgs ) Handles theContextMenu. Opening
Dim hti As TreeViewHitTest Info = theTreeView.Hit Test (Me.PointToClie nt (Curosr.Positio n))
If hti.Node Is Nothing Then
e.Cancel = True
Else
' do stuff with the node
End If
End Sub

This is closer, but the cursor position is not always the selected node,
but sometimes nodes 4 or 5 positions away.
