c# - Why does my MenuStrip appear in the incorrect Location on first click? -

i'm working on vb winforms project (although i'm fine c# solution) , have following set up:

• i have contextmenustrip on form, mscreatereports
• i have menustrip @ top of form 1 menu item being create reports , dropdown set mscreatereports
• i have command button on form cmdcreatereports

now, command button, have following code click event:

private sub cmdcreatereports_click(byval sender system.object, byval e system.eventargs) handles cmdcreatereports.click     mscreatereports.show(cursor.position.x, cursor.position.y) end sub 

edit (update / explanation):

basically, i'm looking functionality-wise have contextmenustrip able show in 1 of 2 different places, depending on user clicks... if click on menu option, context menu appears drop-down on create reports menu item or if user clicks command button, menu apeear context menu on side of mouse pointer. want same menu able appear on either 1 of these 2 locations depending on user clicks make menu appear.

---

now, problem only first time command button clicked, contextmenustrip appears top menu, rather on top of command button, to.

after first click, menu appears in correct location... did wrong / how can fix this??

thanks!!

i have same problem (i'm using visual studio 2010 sp1, , c#). don't think did wrong, looks winforms bug me.

i fixed this:

1) have unset (using visual designer) dropdown property of main strip item.

2) have defined opening event on contextmenustrip, , dropdownopening event on main strip item this:

private void toolstripmymenuitem_dropdownopening(object sender, eventargs e) {     toolstripmymenuitemmylists.dropdown = contextmenustrip; }  private void contextmenustrip_opening(object sender, canceleventargs e) {     toolstripmymenuitemmylists.dropdown = contextmenustrip; } 

and don't have problem anymore. hope :-)
