Listview - menu for switching item

Question

I'd like to add an option to my ListView, so that I can change it's view (tile, list, details,...) - just like in Windows Explorer. How can I build such a menu? With PictureBox and MenuStrip?

PS: winforms, not WPF

Thanks!

Answer 1

Set its ContextMenuStrip property. Choosing Details does require you to add Columns.

Answer 2

How I did it:

1. I created new user control and added a button with this icon.
2. Then I added ContextMenu with all five items.
3. Button.OnClick shows ContextMenu
4. Added public event for ItemClicked with parameter View
5. Added public property for selected view
