I'm trying to make a list of items that you can do several actions with by right-clicking and having a context menu come up. I've completed that, no problem whatsoever.
But I'd like to have it so that when you right click on a item, instead of leaving the current item selected, to select the item the mouse is over.
I've researched this and other related questions, and I've tried to use indexFromPoint (which I found through my research) but whenever I right click on a item, it always just clears the selected item and doesn't show the context menu, as I have it set so that it wont appear if there is no selected item.
Here is the code I'm currently using:
ListBox.SelectedIndex = ListBox.IndexFromPoint(Cursor.Position.X, Cursor.Position.Y);
Handle ListBox.MouseDown
and select the item in there. Like this:
private void listBox1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
listBox1.SelectedIndex = listBox1.IndexFromPoint(e.X, e.Y);
}
this one is working...
this.ListBox.MouseUp += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.List_RightClick);
private void List_RightClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
{
int index = this.listBox.IndexFromPoint(e.Location);
if (index != ListBox.NoMatches)
{
listBox.Items[index];
}
}
}
Can also get same behaviour by setting a MouseRightButtonUp event on the whole listbox then:
private void AccountItemsT33_OnMouseRightButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
// If have selected an item via left click, then do a right click, need to disable that initial selection
AccountItemsT33.SelectedIndex = -1;
VisualTreeHelper.FindElementsInHostCoordinates(e.GetPosition(null), (sender as ListBox)).OfType<ListBoxItem>().First().IsSelected = true;
}
