.net – Dynamic Context Menu on Treeview Nodes

You can add a mouse click event to the TreeView, then select the correct node using GetNodeAt given the mouse coordinates provided by the MouseEventArgs.

void treeView1MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if(e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
    {
        // Select the clicked node
        treeView1.SelectedNode = treeView1.GetNodeAt(e.X, e.Y);

        if(treeView1.SelectedNode != null)
        {
            myContextMenuStrip.Show(treeView1, e.Location);
        }
    }
}

Depending on the way the tree was populated, the sender and the e.Source values may vary.

One of the possible solutions is to use e.OriginalSource and find TreeViewItem using the VisualTreeHelper:

private void OnPreviewMouseRightButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    TreeViewItem treeViewItem = VisualUpwardSearch(e.OriginalSource as DependencyObject);

    if (treeViewItem != null)
    {
        treeViewItem.Focus();
        e.Handled = true;
    }
}

static TreeViewItem VisualUpwardSearch(DependencyObject source)
{
    while (source != null && !(source is TreeViewItem))
        source = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(source);

    return source as TreeViewItem;
}
