How to: Handle the ContextMenuStrip Opening Event

You can customize the behavior of your xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenuStrip control by handling the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripDropDown.Opening event.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to handle the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripDropDown.Opening event. The event handler adds items dynamically to a xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenuStrip control. For the complete code example, see How to: Add ToolStrip Items Dynamically.

[!code-csharpSystem.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.Misc#42] [!code-vbSystem.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.Misc#42]

Set the xref:System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs.Cancel%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType property to true to prevent the menu from opening.
