I have a form which have a NotifyIcon. The form is hiden by default, but the NotifyIcon is visible in the system tray. My question/problem is that when I clicking on the Icon and then clicking away the NotifyIcon's ContextMenuStrip element does not disappearing. I tried LostFocus event, but it does not fires if I click outside of the application.

Is there any solution for this problem? Thank you for the answers in advance!

Code I used:

Private Sub NotifyIcon1_MouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles NotifyIcon1.MouseClick
    If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right Then
        ContextMenuStrip1.Show(Cursor.Position)
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub History_LostFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.LostFocus, ContextMenuStrip1.LostFocus
    ContextMenuStrip1.Hide()
End Sub

Would you please share the code you used to get the above behavior? Without the code, it could be the issue specific to your implementation. – Victor Zakharov Nov 25 '12 at 21:01

It does not solved the problem, however I added an else to the if to hide it if not right mousebutton used. – Pho3nixHun Nov 25 '12 at 21:42
