[RESOLVED] Assign context menu strip to listbox item?

[Disyne]

How can I assign a context menu strip to a listbox item and not the listbox itself?

You can't. You can only associate a ContextMenuStrip with a control and the individual items in the ListBox are not controls.

What you would have to do is detect a right-click on the ListBox yourself, determine what item is under the mouse pointer and then call Show on the appropriate ContextMenuStrip.

Towards that end, you would:

1. Handle the MouseClick event.
2. Test for the right mouse button.
3. Call GetItemRectangle method for each item.
4. Test which item contains the location that was clicked.
