How to: Attach a Shortcut Menu to a TreeNode Using the Designer
The Windows Forms xref:System.Windows.Forms.TreeView control displays a hierarchy of nodes, similar to the files and folders displayed in the left pane of the Windows Explorer feature in Windows operating systems. By setting the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.ContextMenuStrip%2A property, you can provide context-sensitive operations to the user when they right-click the xref:System.Windows.Forms.TreeView control. By associating a xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenuStrip component with individual xref:System.Windows.Forms.TreeNode items, you can add a customized level of shortcut menu functionality to your xref:System.Windows.Forms.TreeView controls.
To associate a shortcut menu with a TreeNode at design time
-
Add a xref:System.Windows.Forms.TreeView control to your form, and then add nodes to the xref:System.Windows.Forms.TreeView as needed. For more information, see How to: Add and Remove Nodes with the Windows Forms TreeView Control.
-
Add a xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenuStrip component to your form, and then add menu items to the shortcut menu that represent node-level operations you wish to make available at run time. For more information, see How to: Add Menu Items to a ContextMenuStrip.
-
Reopen the TreeNodeEditor dialog box for the xref:System.Windows.Forms.TreeView control, select the node to edit, and set its xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenuStrip property to the shortcut menu that you added.
-
When this property is set, the shortcut menu will be displayed when you right-click the node.
Additionally, you will want to write code to handle the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.Click events for these menu items.
