Find node clicked under context menu

Question

How can I find out which node in a tree list the context menu has been activated? For instance right-clicking a node and selecting an option from the menu.

I can\'t

Answer 1

This is a very old question, but I still found it useful. I am using a combination of some of the answers above, because I don't want the right-clicked node to become the selectedNode. If I have the root node selected and want to delete one of it's children, I don't want the child selected when I delete it (I am also doing some work on the selectedNode that I don't want to happen on a right-click). Here is my contribution:

// Global Private Variable to hold right-clicked Node
private TreeNode _currentNode = new TreeNode();

// Set Global Variable to the Node that was right-clicked
private void treeView_NodeMouseClick(object sender, TreeNodeMouseClickEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Button == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right)
        _currentNode = e.Node;
}

// Do something when the Menu Item is clicked using the _currentNode
private void toolStripMenuItem_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (_currentNode != null)
        MessageBox.Show(_currentNode.Text);
}
