Krypton Contextmenu does not open under .Net FW 4.0

Question

Scenario

I'm using a very known kit of user controls, Krypton, it comes with a contextmenu, a KryptonContextMenu.

I'm using the latest version which is 4.4.0

I'm under Windows 8.1 x64, using VisualStudio 2013 Ultimate and using WinForms tech.

Problem

I can't Show a KryptonContextMenu if I target my project to FW 4.0 or bigger. If I target FW 3.5 or smaller it works perfectly.

This happens with any project even with the official KryptonContextMenuExamples that comes with krypton project samples.

It does not throw any kind of exception, just if I try to use the KryptonContextMenu .Show() method using any of its overlads it does not show the contextmenu under FW 4.0, just does not happens anything.

Question

1) I'm the only who has this issue with the KryptonContextMenu?, I just can't find information of this issue in the krypton page/forum.

2) I could try something to fix this issue?

Answer 1

I had the same problem and I managed to fix it by changing the 'Platform target' of my application properties to 'x86' instead of 'Any CPU'. Then my KryptonContextMenu control is displayed correctly. I hope this will help you.
