winforms - C# DataGridView opening ContextMenu at location of Right Click -

i've looked around quite while trying find working solution resorting asking question:

i have datagridview in dialog form in app, want contextmenu appear on right-click of cell.

i have right-click , contextmenu appearing fine, no matter solution on stackexchange attempt, offset quite alot.

is form and/or it's parent? or stupidly missing here?

thanks jamie

form.cs

private void datagridcontents_cellmousedown(object sender, datagridviewcellmouseeventargs e) {     if (e.button == mousebuttons.right)     {         if (e.rowindex > -1 && e.columnindex > -1)         {             debug.writeline("cell right clicked!");              datagridviewcell cell = (sender datagridview)[e.columnindex, e.rowindex];              contextcell.show(cell.datagridview, pointtoclient(cursor.position));              if (!cell.selected)             {                 cell.datagridview.clearselection();                 cell.datagridview.currentcell = cell;                 cell.selected = true;             }         }     } } 

edit

sorry, have tried:

• new point(e.x, e.y)
• new point(e.location.x, e.location.y)
• new point(mouseposition.x, mouseposition.y)
• pointtoclient(e.x, e.y)
• new point(cursor.position.x, cursor.position.y)
• control.mouseposition
• cursor.position

and few others.

this mean offset -- of solutions cause offset vary in magnitudes (some far away etc) -- offset actual cursor.

my contextcell new contextmenu()

option 1: simple solution showing context menu rows assigning context menu rowtemplate.contextmenustrip property of datagridview:

datagridview1.rowtemplate.contextmenustrip = contextmenustrip1; 

option 2: if want select cell before showing contextmenustrip, it's enough handle cellcontextmenustripneeded event:

private void datagridview1_cellcontextmenustripneeded(object sender,     datagridviewcellcontextmenustripneededeventargs e) {     if (e.rowindex > -1 && e.columnindex > -1)     {         datagridview1.currentcell = datagridview1.rows[e.rowindex].cells[e.columnindex];         e.contextmenustrip = contextmenustrip1;     } }

what mistake?

you calculating mouse position on datagridview in wrong way. using pointtoclient means this.pointtoclient, while need use method of datagridview, example datagridview1.pointtoclient:

mycontextmenu.show(datagridview1,datagridview1.pointtoclient(cursor.position)); 

just information can show contextmenu using code , there no need use contextmenustrip.

but recommend use contextmenustrip.
