CREATING MENU TITLES –
POPUP MENUS (CONTEXT MENU)
 Build the context menu as shown.
 Set the form's ContextMenuStrip property to
ContextMenuStrip1.
 Run the project – confirm that the context
menu displays whenever we right-click
different parts of the form.
CREATING MENU TITLES –
POPUP MENUS (CONTEXT MENU)
 A form can have multiple context menus so that we
can tailor the menu for different controls – each
context menu requires its own ContextMenuStrip
control.
 The context menu for a form or control on a form is
set by storing the name of the context menu to the
ContextMenuStrip property for the control or form.
 If we have a single context menu – assign it to the
form – this will cause most controls to have this as
the assigned context menu.
 Some controls, such as textbox controls, have built-
in context menus – they have the copy, cut, and
paste text context menu.
