[Gtk-sharp-list] popup menu (combobox?) for treeview?

[Andy York]

Here is what worked well for me, if a more verbose example would help 
please feel free to ask. I didn't test this example but I'm pretty sure 
it's correct.

TreeView1.ButtonPressEvent += new 
ButtonPressEventHandler(TreeView1_ButtonPress);   

[GLib.ConnectBefore]
private void TreeView1_ButtonPress(object o, Gtk.ButtonPressEventArgs args)
{   
    // check if the right button was pushed
    if((int)args.Event.Button == 3)
    {       
        Gtk.Menu jBox = new Gtk.Menu();
        Gtk.MenuItem MenuItem1 = new MenuItem("new job");
        jBox.Add(MenuItem1);       
        MenuItem1 = new MenuItem("edit job");
        jBox.Add(MenuItem1);
        MenuItem1 = new MenuItem("remove job");
        jBox.Add(MenuItem1);
        MenuItem1 = new MenuItem("remove finished jobs");
        jBox.Add(MenuItem1);           
        jBox.ShowAll();
        jBox.Popup();
    }
}
