Context Menu in TreeView control
-
I'm displaying a TreeView of an active directory domain. I want to right-click on a Node and display a context menu which has a submenu which is built depending on the type of object clicked on. I've created a context menu but when right-clicking on an object, this code, running in the Popup event of the context menu item which displays the sub-menu:
MenuItem directoryObjectClickedOn = (MenuItem)sender; ContextMenu cm = directoryObjectClickedOn.GetContextMenu(); TreeView ad = (TreeView)cm.SourceControl; DirectoryEntry aDObject = (DirectoryEntry)ad.SelectedNode.Tag; MessageBox.Show(aDObject.Name);always gives me the previous object, not the current one. Any idea how to get the current object? -

If you want to know if a mouse has selected the tree view item label or its icon. I hope this helps.

Thanks very much. That sorted it out for me and I'm generating a context-specific menu.
