treeview context menu

[MetallicaD]

Hello.. I have a treeview that has an associated context menu.. When i right click on the treeview, the menu pops up.. correct!! however, if i right click on an element in the treeview that is currently not selected, it gets highlighted but the treeview still indicates that the .selectednode is the one that was previously highlighted...

it sounds like the selectitem event is not finishing before the contextmenu popup event fires..

any suggestions?

thanks

Ok.. i found the same issue on this threat: http://www.dotnet247.com/247reference/msgs/25/129525.aspx

I used their solution and it works.. now the question is, is this a flaw in the framework? If so, will it be fixed?

Thanks,

I dont test your issue, so I write this blind. If there is any mistake, forgive me.
I dont think about this as a flaw, because this has easy workarounds, simply handle the Click event and show the context menu by code instead of setting the ContextMenu property. Just one line! I don't think treeview has another way to get the selected node (I'm not sure).

Finally: God bless Metallica, James, Kirk, Lars and JASON:cool: :cool: :cool:

Vahid... thanks for the reply.. Actually, on that link I provided, there is an easy way to do this with the context menu linked directly to the treeview:


Private Sub tvwFields_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles tvwFields.MouseDown
If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right Then tvwFields.SelectedNode =
tvwFields.GetNodeAt(New Point(e.X, e.Y))

End Sub



This works pretty good.. It just changes the selected node to the one you rightclicked on, then the context menu fires

thanks,
