Answer 1

You haven't shown any code, but if you're not calling the Show overload that takes a control as a parameter, the new Point(0, 0) that your obviously passing will put the menu in the upper left of the screen.

By far the simplest way is to just set the ListView.ContextMenuStrip property to your CMS, everything is automatic then. You can do so in the designer.

If you need a custom handler for some reason, to check if the right item was clicked for example, then you can call the Show() method property with code like this:

    private void listView1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {
        if (allowContextMenu(listView1.SelectedItems) {
            contextMenuStrip1.Show(listView1, e.Location);
        }
    }
