Add a contextmenu to your form and then assign it in the control's properties under ContextMenuStrip. Hope this helps :).

Hope this helps:

ContextMenu cm = new ContextMenu();
cm.MenuItems.Add("Item 1");
cm.MenuItems.Add("Item 2");

pictureBox1.ContextMenu = cm;

Having just messed around with this  it s useful to kjnow that the e X   e Y points are relative to the control  so if  as I was  you are adding a context menu to a listview or something similar  you will want to adjust it with the form s origin  In the example below I ve added 20 to the x y so that the menu appears slightly to the right and under the cursor   cmDelete Show this  new Point e X     Control sender  Left 20  e Y     Control sender  Top 20

If you are using Visual Studio  there is a GUI solution as well    From Toolbox add a ContextMenuStrip Select the context menu and add the right click items For each item set the click events to the corresponding functions Select the form   button   image   etc  any item  that the right click menu will be connected Set its ContextMenuStrip property to the menu you have created

This is a comprehensive answer to this question  I have done this because this page is high on the Google search results and the answer does not go into enough detail  This post assumes that you are competent at using Visual Studio C  forms  This is based on VS2012    Start by simply dragging a ContextMenuStrip onto the form  It will just put it into the top left corner where you can add your menu items and rename it as you see fit  You will have to view code and enter in an event yourself on the form  Create a mouse down event for the item in question and then assign a right click event for it like so  I have called the ContextMenuStrip  rightClickMenuStrip     private void pictureBox1 MouseDown object sender  MouseEventArgs e    switch  e Button                case MouseButtons Right                        rightClickMenuStrip Show this  new Point e X  e Y     places the menu at the pointer position                   break           Assign the event handler manually to the form designer  you may need to add a  using  for System Windows Forms  You can just resolve it    this pictureBox1 MouseDown    new MouseEventHandler this pictureBox1 MouseDown    All that is needed at this point is to simply double click each menu item and do the desired operations for each click event in the same way you would for any other button    This is the basic code for this operation  You can obviously modify it to fit in with your coding practices
