Do not close ContextMenuStrip

Hello,
i have a treeView component where a ContextMenuStrip is already assigned to it (ex. contextP)
now, i want to drag a node from one place to another in the treeView.
when i do so, i call the DragDrop event which has all my function's according to my needs.
in this event, i would like to call a different ContextMenuStrip named contextD.
i thought of using

 .
.
.
contextD.Show(Point pt);
.
.
.

private void        contextD_Opening(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
  ToolStripMenuItem itemMove = (ToolStripMenuItem)contextDrag.Items["ctextMoveItem"];
  ToolStripMenuItem itemCopy = (ToolStripMenuItem)contextDrag.Items["ctextCopyItem"];
  ToolStripMenuItem itemCancel = (ToolStripMenuItem)contextDrag.Items["ctextCancelItem"];
}

but when the opening event has finished, the main code continues, and the contextD is still shown, regardless to my selection.

how can i make the contextD to stay on, depending on my selection in the menu to continue my flow (do event's etc.) ?
then of course, how to close it when im finished with it ?

thanks
Eyal

You need to code like below to Prevent the context menu from Closing

    private void contextMenuStrip1_Closing(object sender, ToolStripDropDownClosingEventArgs e)

        {

            e.Cancel = true;

        }
