You can subscribe the opening event of ContextMenuStrip and if there is no selection in your listview set e.Cancel to true which will prevent the contextmenu from opening.

Look at https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/ms229721(v=vs.110).aspx for more details!

You have a ContextMenuStrip cms where you add a eventhandler either in Windows forms designer or in Code

cms.Opening += new System.ComponentModel.CancelEventHandler(this.cms_Opening);

Inside your eventhandler you check if you got an item in your listview selected to determine if you want your contextmenu open or closed.

void cms_Opening(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
{
    // This event handler is invoked when the ContextMenuStrip
    // control's Opening event is raised. 

    // Set Cancel to true to prevent the cms to be opened. 
    e.Cancel = listView1.Selected == null;
}

So if you got an selected item in your listView1 your contextmenu will be opened otherwise it won't show.
