[RESOLVED] [2005] Cancel Contextmenu in Treeview

[campster]

I only want to dispaly a context menu in the treeview if a node is selected.
This is what I'm trying but it doesn't seem to work. The menu apprears if I right click in the treeview whether I'm on a node or not and will not go away until l click somewhere else.

Private Sub tvwCharts_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles tvwCharts.MouseDown
        If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right Then
            Me.ContextMenuStrip1.Tag = tvwCharts.GetNodeAt(e.Location)
            If ContextMenuStrip1.Tag Is Nothing Then
                ContextMenuStrip1.Visible = False
            End If
        End If
    End Sub

1. Set the treeview's contextmenustrip property to nothing (that is to remove ContextMenuStrip1 from your treeview contextmenustrip property)
2. Use nodemouseclick event of the node

Private Sub TreeView1_NodeMouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.TreeNodeMouseClickEventArgs) Handles TreeView1.NodeMouseClick
        If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right Then
            'Optional: you can also select the node
            TreeView1.SelectedNode = e.Node
            ContextMenuStrip1.Visible = True
            ContextMenuStrip1.Location = TreeView1.PointToScreen(e.Location)
        End If
    End Sub

Use the "NodeMouseClick" event.
Edit** as shown above.
