A colleague has implemented a contextual menu, but instead of clicking right click, the user will have to use the combination of key CTRL + Right Click (I guess in flash they made the same trick).

About the sample, sorry it's in spanish, but you can take a look to the sourcecode.

If you want the sample in english just write a note to this guy, let's promote his job :-)

I have though about this very much, and come up with what i consider an adequate solution (for now)

let me prefix this by saying... i don't want to consider overlaying html DIVs with javascript as this sounds like a nightmare to me (though i hear it can be done!)

i have extended a Button control to fire a 'Long Click' event. 600 milliseconds works pretty good. when a user clicks the button and holds the left mouse button down, after the duration has elapsed i open a Popup control with top left positioned at the mouse. anything (e.g. buttons, hyperlinks, etc) can be put in the popup.

Currently i use this on a TreeView, so that users can click-hold on a treeview item and get a context menu that varies depending on the item.

it ends up being quite intuitive and user friendly...

i am more than happy to share the code, though it doesn't lend itself to being pasted in a forum. i'll provide a link if there is interest.

as a question to the Silverlight People... Flash 10 allows developers to add items to the rightclick context menu... when can we have this in Silverlight?

I need the same thing and I will implement it tomorrow using a ListBox and a hidden Popup to catch the click outside the ListBox.

There is no Menu or ContextMenu in Silverlight.
