ContextMenu.Show Method (Control, Point)

Typically, a ContextMenu is displayed when the user clicks the right mouse button on a control or area of the form that the ContextMenu is bound to. You can use this method to manually display the shortcut menu at a specific location and bind it with a specific control. This method does not return until the menu is dismissed.

The following code example demonstrates constructing a shortcut menu and using the Show method. To run the example, paste the following code in a form containing a button named Button1. Ensure all events are associated with their event-handling methods.

	
	// Displays the shortcut menu, offsetting its location 
	// from the upper-left corner of Button1 by 20 pixels in each direction. 
	private void Button1_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
	{

		//Declare the menu items and the shortcut menu.
		MenuItem[] menuItems = new MenuItem[]{new MenuItem("Some Button Info"), 
			new MenuItem("Some Other Button Info"), new MenuItem("Exit")};

		ContextMenu buttonMenu = new ContextMenu(menuItems);
		buttonMenu.Show(Button1, new System.Drawing.Point(20, 20));
	}
