You need to show the contextmenu yourself

Code example of showing a contextmenu when the mouse is clicked on a listview

private void listview1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right) {
contextMenu1.Show(listview1, new Point(e.X, e.Y));
}
}

i am sure in c# or any .net no need of this code. if u added contextmenu to any item, it will be shown on right click.it wont show even when u add it is when u did not add any menu item to that context menu.

You are absolutely right! Missed that property till now..

Any way, to test it, I created a ContextMenuStrip, and set a buttons ContextMenuStrip property to this menustrip. It worked fine.

@bismitapadhi: Did you set this ContextMenuStrip property of the control where you want to show the context menu?
