Solution 1

I think you are looking for this:
SplitButton: an XP style dropdown split button[^]

------

Ok so try this:

contextMenuStrip1.Show(MousePosition);

------

Then do:

Point pt = PointToScreen(button1.Location);
//or this one
//Point pt = PointToScreen(new Point(button1.Right, button1.Top));
contextMenuStrip1.Show(pt);
