Hi,
I have 50 pushpins and on right click of each pushpin, I want to display the context menu and I want know to the pushpin name of the clicked position.

Hi,

Write an event handler for BeforeClick event. There you check if a pushpin is selected and if right mouse button is clicked. If both are true you set the Cancel argument to true to disable mappoint popup menu and you can popup your own.

To popup your own it is best to do this outside the event because if user does not click the menu for more than 10 seconds, the 'Server Busy' dialog will show. To display it outside the event handler you can post a message to a custom message handler.

Hi Wilfried,
Thanks for the reply . My problem is that I am displaying pushpin on beforeDbl_Click event and In this event I am writing the below code

Location ObjLocation = MPC.ActiveMap.XYToLocation(e.x, e.y);
Pushpin ObjPushpin=MPC.ActiveMap.AddPushpin(ObjLocation, "TACK");
ObjPushpin.Symbol = 32;
ObjPushpin.Select();


In SelectionChange_event I am writing

Pushpin ObjPrevPushpin = e.pOldSelection as MapPoint.Pushpin;
Pushpin ObjCurrPushpin = e.pNewSelection as MapPoint.Pushpin;

if (ObjCurrPushpin != null)
{
General.ObjSelectPushpin = e.pNewSelection as MapPoint.Pushpin ;
//public variable

}


In Before_Click event I am writing


if (e.button == 2 && (MPC.ActiveMap.Selection.GetType() == typeof(MapPoint.Pushpin)))
{
ctmsZoneDefinition.Show(MousePosition);//Context menu strip
}

but MPC.ActiveMap.Selection.GetType() is returnig ComObject. So I am unable check the pushpin.

Please help me

You have to change this to:

Remember also my not about displaying a context menu in an event!
