I wirte a window application, and I dwew a ContextMenuStrip object to my program to be included in a panel object, so that when I right click mouse on the panel, the ContextMenuStrip will pop up automatially.

And now, the question is that when I click and hold left button of mouse, and then right click mouse, I hope the ContextMenuStrip will not pop up anyway, but, the ContextMenuStrip still pop up there !

Can anybody help to show how to reach this point ?

Solution 2

Handle MouseDown event of Panel.
Check the sample code here.

C#

private void panel3_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
    {
        panel3.ContextMenuStrip = contextMenuStrip3;
    }
    else
    {
        panel3.ContextMenuStrip = null;
    }
}

Thanks of your answer, but my question is still below, please show detail answer to me.

I add one line in left mouse click event : ConTextMenuStrip1.Enabled=false;
but, when I right click on panel, it still pop up the ConTextMenuStrip, though it is disabled.
Can you show detail answer to exactly stop the popup of ContextMenuStrip ?
