  I have a context menu set on my treeview. The problem is that the user needs to left click the node first to select it and then right click to bring up the context menu. Is there anyway i can make the right click select the node as well as bring up the context menu?

  Did a bit of digging, and it looks like you need to capture the value of the right mouse click, and select the node at that point. See this code snippet (Grabbed from tek-tips.com)
  
  
  Code:

  
  Private Sub TreeView1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles TreeView1.MouseDown
     Dim dp As System.Drawing.Point
  
     If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right Then
  
         'select node that is being right-clicked
         TreeView1.SelectedNode = TreeView1.GetNodeAt(e.X, e.Y)
  
         'Get the nesting level of the selected node
         NodeLevel = GetNodeNestingLevel(TreeView1.SelectedNode)
  
         'only display context menu on lowest-level nodes
         If NodeLevel = 3 Then
             TreeView1.ContextMenu = TVMenu
         Else
             TreeView1.ContextMenu = Nothing
         End If
     End If
  
     NodeLevel = -1
  End Sub
  

  
  
  Hope that helps. Check the link above for more information if you need it.

  Thanks heaps, that is what i was after. I only needed one bit but it works like a charm. I couldn't find anything when i looked the other day.
  
  Code:

  If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right Then
     tvwNSD.SelectedNode = tvwNSD.GetNodeAt(e.X, e.Y)
  End If

  
  
  Thanks again for your time.

  This question was asked at the site Bigbeanpole said: tek-tips.com. If you go there it only has this part of the code that they have shown. Maybe you can contact the person that posted the code at the other forum.
