C# Visual Studio Open context menus the other way?

Question

Normal context menus in Visual Studio always appear right to the mouse after you open them. Is it possible to make the context menu to appear left to the mouse after it opens? So it actually opens from right to left, instead from left to right.

Hope you know what I mean. (And no, the text in it is NOT meant, just the way the context menu opens) I wasn't able to find anything on that. It's just for aesthetics btw.

Answer 1

This is a new ergonomic feature in the Windows. The Windows check if you are using a touch screen than the Menus will open at the left side the reason is the human hand cover the right side of the clicked/pressed area (mouse pointer does not do that).

I found the soultion for your prblem :-) you have to select from Tablet PC Settings the Left Handed, this will solve your problem.

1. Press the Windows logo key+R to bring up the Run dialog box. In the Open line, copy/paste the following text.

2. shell:::{80F3F1D5-FECA-45F3-BC32-752C152E456E}

3. Press OK.

This will start the Tablet PC Settings configuration dialog (Even if you do not have a Tablet PC).

4. Select the Other Tab.

5. In the Handedness section, place a check mark in the Left Handed option.

6. Click OK.
