C# WinForms: Using both a Context Menu and the AfterSelect event

I want to open a dislog when the user clicks a certain node type in a TreeView. And I want a right click to open a context menu. I have each working, but they collide with each other.

How can I solve this problem?

I do not want a left click to open the Context Menu. This is what create the collission.

Thanks!

So you want two different behaviors for a RIGHT click on a TreeView node based on the node type?

No, I want to open the dialog AfterSelect on a left click, based on node type (not all node types have a corresponding dialog). I want to display the Context Menu on a right click.

Hmmm...ok.

"I do not want a left click to open the Context Menu. This is what create the collission."

I don't see how these collide. Left click does not normally open a context menu. How are you assigning/displaying the context menu? What is in AfterSelect()?
