This question builds off of this question. What I am doing is attempting to add a DateTimePicker control to a contextmenustrip using ToolStripControlHost. What is odd is the first time I select it in the contextmenu it shows at the location (0,0)
When I hover back to the option again, it displays at the right location.
I can't find where its setting the location. I've tried setting the location of the control being added but does nothing.
public SampleProgram()
{
IntializeComponent();
DateTimePicker sampleDatePicker = new DateTimePicker();
sampleDatePicker.TextChanged += new EventHandler(dateTimePicker_OnTextChange);
sampleDatePicker.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Short;
datagridview1.Controls.Add(sampleDatePicker);
}
private void datagridview1_CellMouseUp(object sender, DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.ColumnIndex != -1 && e.RowIndex != -1 && e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
{
datagridview1.ContextMenuStrip = new ContextMenuStrip();
datagirdview1.ContextMenuStrip.Items.Clear();
Get_Alphabetical_User_Groups(datagridview1.ContextMenuStrip, SampleContextMenu_Action);
datagridview1.ContextMenuStrip.Items.Add(new ToolStripSeparator());
GetStatusList(datagridview1.ContextMenuStrip, false, SampleContextMenu_Action);
datagridview1.ContextMenuStrip.Items.Add(new ToolStripSeparator());
GetDatePicker(datagridview1.ContextMenuStrip, SampleContextMenu_Action);
datagridview1.ContextMenuStrip.Items.Add("Copy Cell Data", Resources.blank, SampleContextMenu_Action);
datagridview1.ContextMenuStrip.Show(Cursor.Position.X, Cursor.Position.Y);
}
}
private void GetDatePicker(ContextMenuStrip dateMenu, EventHandler MenuOption_Click_Handler)
{
Point mouseloc = Cursor.Position;
sampleDatePicker.Location = mouseloc;
var datePicker = new ToolStripControlHost(sampleDatePicker);
datagridview1.ContextMenuStrip.Items.Add(new ToolStripMenuItem("Set Followup Date to", Resources.calendar_edit, datePicker));
}
Any help is much appreciated!
Don't add the control to the DataGridView's Control collection. It doesn't belong there:
// datagridview1.Controls.Add(sampleDatePicker);
