Context Menus With Listview

Hi,

Im just trying to tidyup the user interface for the listview on my form.  The problem that im having is, I would like when the users RightClicks on a listviewItem for it to selcted(highlight) it fist before bringing up the contextmenu.

Also

While the contextmenu is displayed I have another anoying bug where if you click anywhere else on the form the contextmenu disapears and reapears very quickly so to make a contextmenu go away without selecting a option from it you have to efectivly click twice anywhere on the form :(

[Code Im using to display the contextmenu on the listview]

    Private Sub listmenu_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseDown
        oCurrentNode = sender.GetItemAt(e.X, e.Y)

        'If Right mouse button is pressed
        If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right Then
            If Not Me.ContextMenu Is Nothing Then
                Me.ContextMenu.Show(Me, New Point(e.X, e.Y))
            End If
        End If
    End Sub



Regards

oCurrentNode is just a (global) "Private oCurrentNode As ListViewItem" on the form

before displaying the contextmenu.

but the second problem is insits on having to click twice anywhere to get rid of the contextmenu :(

you are using mybase.mouse down which is the mousedown event of the form or are you using a custom listview control ?

   Private Sub listmenu_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseDown

shouldn't it be

   Private Sub listmenu_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles listmenu.MouseDown
