Hi
Does anyone knows how to set contextmenu to selected items in listbox?, i know how you can do it with listview or treeview but the method does not seems to work in listbox

Thanks in advance

Don't take this as gospel or anything, I just wanted to try it - it seems to work. I would imagine someone more experienced could give you a better example. Hope it helps, anyway.

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim i As Short
        For i = 1 To 42
            ListBox1.Items.Add("Item " & i)
        Next
    End Sub

    Private Sub ContextMenu1_Popup(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ContextMenu1.Popup
        ContextMenu1.MenuItems.Clear()
        Dim selectedItems As New ListBox.SelectedObjectCollection(ListBox1)
        Dim i As Short
        For i = 0 To selectedItems.Count - 1
            ContextMenu1.MenuItems.Add(selectedItems(i))
        Next
    End Sub

I don't know if this would be another idea but you could try something like this

Private Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As _ 
System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles 
ListBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
 
If ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString() <> "" Then
            'show your contextmenu
End If
 
    End Sub

This suppose to show the menu when selected item is true .
