ContextMenuStrip Popup Event

Question

Hi all I am trying to capture the mouse position when a user right-clicks to open a right-click menu.(Eventually i would like the menu items to vary depending what exactly has been clicked on). I have read that there should be a popup event which one can use but i cannot find it! Does anyone know whether or not this is true or can suggest another way to get the mouse position at this time? Thanks Jon.

Ah thanks - will try that... I already have an OnMouseClick override to handle the left click. It appears that the default context menu functionality as implemented by visual studio takes some kind of precedence as a test if button clicked = left type test within this OnMouseClick override was never run. Thanks again Jon.

I'd just handle the control's MouseUp event and check that e.Button == MouseButtons.Right. If it does then you can get the mouse position and display the ContextMenuStrip for that control.
