Context Menu

Right-click anywhere on the list to display the C1List context menu, which is a context menu that Visual Studio provides for all .NET controls, although the C1List context menu has a few extra features.

The context menu commands operate as follows:

View Code
This command displays the list's code window, which enables you to view and edit the list's event handling code.

Bring To Front, Send To Back
These commands control the z-order of the list relative to the other objects on the Visual Studio form. Bring To Front places the list in front of other objects; Send To Back places it behind other objects.

Align to Grid
This command automatically aligns the outer edges of the list control to the design-time list lines on the form.

About ComponentOne C1List
This command displays the list's About box. This is helpful if you need to know the build number of the list.

Retrieve Fields/Clear Fields
These commands initiate the methods RetrieveFields and ClearFields of the list. RetrieveFields goes back to the data source and retrieves all of the formatting information and base data for the column. ClearFields clears out any existing column formatting.

Design
This command opens the C1List Designer.

Save Layout/Load Layout
These commands allow you to save the current layout of C1List as an XML file or load a previously saved XML layout file.

Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete
These commands are identical to those on the Visual Studio Edit menu. Cut (Ctrl+X) moves the list from the Visual Studio form to the Clipboard. Copy (Ctrl+C) moves a copy of the list to the Clipboard while leaving the list on the form intact. Paste (Ctrl+V) copies the list from the Clipboard to the form. Delete (the Del key) removes the list but does not move it to the Clipboard. You can undo the Delete command by selecting Undo (Ctrl+Z) from the Visual Studio Edit menu.
