winforms - C# - Contextmenu bug with SaveFileDialog -

i use contextmenu on pictureedit (devexpress) when user right clicks , select menu item should save file. context menu still showing when savedialog windows open.

how remove bug?

    private void initializecontextmenu()     {         ui_pictureedit.properties.contextmenustrip = new contextmenustrip();          var menu = new contextmenustrip();         menu.items.add("save image");         menu.itemclicked += contextmenu_saveimageclicked;         menu.show();          ui_pictureedit.properties.contextmenustrip = menu;     }            using (var dialog = new savefiledialog())         {             dialog.defaultext = "*.png";             dialog.filter = "image files (*.png)|*.png|all files (*.*)|*.*";             if (dialog.showdialog() == dialogresult.ok)             {                 ui_pictureedit.image.save(dialog.filename);             }         } 

so can close question:

move menu object scope it's accessible contextmenu_saveimageclicked handler, include line in handler:

menu.hide(); 

to elaborate bit, context menu top-level window appear on other window isn't top-level, including file dialog. , clicking item doesn't automatically hide context menu, @ least not before event handler executed, why need manually before popping dialog.
