Question

I am writing an app where the user should be able to alter the action of a button.

The user should right-click a button, and choose an option from a pop-up context menu. Once the choice has been made the button will perform a different action when the user uses a normal click.

I’ve already gotten the “Click” event working for a normal button click, however the “MouseClick” event handler isn’t working correctly.

The “MouseClick” event gets activated on regular left-clicks, but never get’s called for right-click.

Is there some default event handling being performed that is ignoring that right-click?

Answer 1

If you want to display a context menu with actions to choose from it should be enough to assign a ContextMenuStrip to the ContextMenuStrip property. There is usually no need to manually handle the mouse events for that.
