Handling ContextMenuStrip on ListView

Question

I have a ListView with some items. The ListView has some group defined, some column, and some items are added. The ListView has set also the ContextMenu.

On Opening event of the ContextMenu, I shall check whether the context menu was opened on a ListView item. So, I did:

private void CtxMenuProcess_Opening(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
    ContextMenuStrip ctxMenuStrip = (ContextMenuStrip)sender;
    ListViewHitTestInfo hitTestInfo = LstViewAdminApp.HitTest(LstViewAdminApp.PointToClient(Control.MousePosition));

    if (hitTestInfo.Item != null) {
        //....
    }
 }

Sadly, the hit doesn't happen.

I feel that the coordinates of the ctxMenuStrip are the wrong ones, but I tried a lot of "variants" without success, and the documentation of ListView.HitTest is very poor.

Anybody can help me?

Further investigation doesn't bring any solution. I'm starting to suspect about ListView control initialization. Here is the non default properties I have set:

Activation = OneClick
Columns = Colum[3]
ContextMenuStrip = ContextMenu
Dock = Fill
FullRowSelect = true
GridLines = true
Groups = Group[3]
HideSelection = false
LabelWrap = false
Sorting = Ascending
View = Details

Thank you SLaks. I've already noticed from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3443232/get-the-point-of-click-on-a-control — Luca, Jan 02 '11 at 20:10
I think ListView.HitTest requires client coordinates. But still doesn't work. — Luca, Jan 02 '11 at 20:25

When I was working on something like this a while back, I found the code in this example to be very useful.

Thank you, but I can't use Windows messaging to solve my problem. The same code shall run also in Mono under Linux. – Luca Jan 02 '11 at 20:17
