Do what? Create your own context menu? Add an item to IE's context menu? Add an item to the shell context menu?

All you did was describe right-clicking on an item in IE's Favorites menu and renaming it. You haven't said anything about what you want to do.

sorry for poor description, I'm working on an application that also have favorite toolbar like IE, but then I don't know how to do a popup context menu when click on one of the favorite menu item. Can you help?

OK. You can start by reading Introduction to the Windows Forms ContextMenu Component[^] on MSDN. There's alot to read, so it'll probably take you a day to through it and try some examples before you completely understand how they work.

I do know how to use context menu but it does not working for this case, it's does not usable for MainMenu, since there is no ContextMenu option

Since you want a popup menu (Context menu) to come up when you right-click an item, the MainMenu has nothing to do with it. You're creating a ContextMenu and assigning it to the control that you want the menu to pop up for when you right-click that control. Go to that control's properties and look for the ContextMenu property. This is how your going to assign the menu you build to the control you want it to pop up on.

keeping the listView selected Item highlighted

25-Aug-04 13:57

Internet explorer's Favorite Menubar(MainMenu), you can add,edit, or delete upon right click(ContextMenu show up) on the item you want to perform the action. I want to do something like that

Is there a way to do this? It would be nice to give a visual aid to the user to see which item when looking back to the list at a later time.

Right now it hihghligts upon clicking on an item in the list, but then looses the highlights.

Thanks for the help.

Set the HideSelection property to false to leave the selected item highlighted when the control loses focus.

if(!curlies){ return; }

Hey pplz,
I've got 2-3 instances of an application running on seperate machines. They want to be able to exchange data. I'm having trouble letting each instances know the ip address of the other machines as they change each time the machine comes online. I tryed a setting up a webservice to store and send address's but keep getting errors when I try to access it after having uploaded the files, but not problems when using it on my machine. The server says it supports asp.net and all that stuff. Pointers towards detailed instructions on deploying a webservice idea for other solutions appreciated.
Thanks

Write it as a Windows Service, install the service, set the service Startup Type to automatic.

Put it or a shortcut to it in the Startup folder.
e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

That won't actually run the application when the computer boots, which is what the original poster requested.

Or put an entry in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run key using RegEdit or some other method of writing to the registry. All you need to so is create a REG_SZ value, give it any name you want and give it the entire commandline you would use to launch your app, just like you would use in a shortcut.
