ListView MouseClick Event

Hi. I have a ListView whereby I want to display one context menu if an item is right-clicked, and another if the click occurs in the ListView control. The problem I'm getting is the MouseClick event is only firing when an item is right-clicked, not the control. What's causing this and how can I get around it?

• Use MouseUp instead of MouseClick! Sorry about that. Should have googled harder.

• You could subclass the ListView to add a right-click event:

  using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.Text;
  using System.Windows.Forms;
  
  namespace MyCustomControls
  {
  
  public delegate void MyDelegate(Object sender, EventArgs e);
  
  class MyListView : ListView
  {
  
      private static readonly object EventRightClickRaised = new object();
  
      public MyListView() 
      {
          //RightClick += new MyDelegate(OnRightClick);
      }
  
      public event EventHandler RightClick
      {
          add
          {
              Events.AddHandler(EventRightClickRaised, value);
          }
          remove
          {
              Events.RemoveHandler(EventRightClickRaised, value);
          }
      }
  
      protected override void OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs e)
      {
          if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
          {
              OnRightClick(EventArgs.Empty);
          }
          base.OnMouseUp(e);
      }
  
      protected void OnRightClick(EventArgs e)
      {
          EventHandler RightClickRaised = (EventHandler)Events[EventRightClickRaised];
          if (RightClickRaised != null)
          {
              RightClickRaised(this, e);
          }
      }
  
  }
  }
  

• I had similar problem (want to catch right clicks on the control), the solution was using MouseEnter(). Should be helpful for what you want to do.
