Actually, even if you have context menus, you're supposed to do that anyway. It's in the Windows UI guidelines (or was, back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.)

Alternatively, use the existing dialog menu system to act on the selected list view item.

Visually, it'd look nothing like a context menu. Also, it obviously wouldn't have any support for shortcuts or submenus or checkmarks or disabled items or separators or accelerators, though presumably you could sort of emulate those with enough work. (Submenus would require a treeview instead of a listbox.)

dynamicly if you could figure out if the right click happened over your
item, but then is displaying a dialog with a listbox the same thing as a context menu (assuming you could make it close with the enter key and not require an "ok" button)? it doesn't sound like it would look much like a
context menu.

I don't think so but it would be cool.

Hi all,

the subject says it all; is it possible to have something like a listbox, where you can create a context menu if the user right clicks on any item
in
the listbox?

thanks.

Chip
