I have a ContextMenuStrip attached to a list view, and it’s working great, but what I’m interested in knowing is how I can have it show up only when one or more items are selected in the listview.
Thanks!

You could use the
Openingevent. The event args has a Cancel property so that you can examine the state of your application and decide whether to have the menu show (by doing nothing) or prevent it from showing (by settinge.Cancel = true). However, like @Grzenio mentions, I would find it more intuitive if the item that i right-clicked on became selected automatically.Another option would be to use the
Openingevent to populate the context menu with only one disabled item, with a text like(no item is selected)or so; this would inform the user about why the command is not available.
