Frank Rizzo Hello, I have a listview control with bunch of entries. When the user right-clicks on the item, I want a context menu to come up. So I created a ContextMenu instance and assigned it to ListView.ContextMenu property. The problem is that the context menu comes up regardless of whether I right-click on the item or the empty space or the column header. I want it only to come up when the user right-clicks on an item. How can I control the ContextMenu better? Reply to this message...        Herfried K.

If a valid item was selected, then set the ContextMenu property to your context menu otherwise you can set it to Nothing.
