Drop down menu when click button

Chan — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 09:37:28 GMT

Hi,
How to show drop down menu when command button clicked with LEFT mouse button?
I tired to use contextmenustrip but it only shown if RIGHT mouse button clicked. I also tried to show contextmenustrip programmatically in clicked event. However, it doesn't shown under button.

Any ideas?

Thank you

The Show(int, int) is in screen coordinates... you'll have to convert the button.Location to screen coordinates by doing this:

menu.Show(button.PointToScreen(button.Location));

That should get it to show in the right spot.

You can control the position of the ContextMenuSTrip when showing programmatically. There is an overload that allows you to specify the X and Y position.
