   Hi all i was wondering wheather anyone knows about the context menu autoclose feature because it doesnt seem to work for me.
  
  I have a context menu associated with a control and i have auto close set to false but now my context menu wont show i have tried all sorts
  
  ContextMenuStrip1.visible=true
  ContextMenuStrip1.show(0,0)
  
  contextmenu mouse events but nothing seems to be working hmmm.
  
  What im trying to achieve is right click a control activate the context menu make several selections and then close the menu by using the mouse leave event handler.
  
  any help would be great
  
  Many Thanks

    Private Sub ContextMenuStrip1_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ContextMenuStrip1.MouseLeave
      ContextMenuStrip1.AutoClose = True
      ContextMenuStrip1.Close()
    End Sub
  
    Private Sub ContextMenuStrip1_Opening(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles ContextMenuStrip1.Opening
      ContextMenuStrip1.AutoClose = False
    End Sub
   

  Just be sure to set the control's ContextMenu to ContextMenuStrip1 or you have to handle opening it too. Let the OS handle the popup part. The ContextMenuStrip1.AutoClose should be set to True at design time (default).
