Right Click Menu

[Zardo]

Hi code nerds

I am new here and hope that you can help me.

I have created several applications before and my programming skills have become better and better, but now I have a question that I hope you can help me to solve.

My application has a DataGridView with DataGridViewTextBoxes and DataGridViewComboBoxes.

When I enter a textbox cell in the DataGridView the cell enters edit mode as it should, no problem.

My problem is that when I perform a right click with the mouse in the cell, the standard windows right click menu appears. I want my own context menu to appear instead, how can I do that?

I have read a little bit about hookin, SendMessage and several other things, but I could not get any of them to work right.

Is there a way to disable the standard windows right click menu in my application so I can show the user my own?

If you need to see some code, I will show some of it to you

Regards

For example for EditingControlShowing event:

e.Control.ContextMenuStrip = Me.ContextMenuStrip1

Wow... thanks JohnH... that worked

Very simple...

If I want different ContextMenu's to appear in different colums I guess that I just have to check wich column the user has clicked and then set the e.Control.ContextMenuStrip to the menu that the user has to see... right?

No need to answer, I just tried it, and it worked... thanks again.

Yes, you can use for example CurrentCellAddress to see which.
