ContextMenuStrip...How Do I Know The Context? 1

[gharabed]

I've set the ContextMenuStrip property of a widget so that when I right click on the widget, a context menu appears. How do I tell the name and type of the underlying widget from inside the selected menu item when the item is selected? For example, say I have a button (Button10) that I associate a context menu strip with that contains two items. If I right click on the button, the menu pops up. I select "item 2" and handle that using the "MenuItem2_Click" event. How do I tell the underlying object (the context) for the menu is Button10? Hopefully that makes sense.
Thanks,
Greg

Using your button example, one way to achieve this would be to use something like this:

Dim mnuParent As ContextMenuStrip = MenuItem2.GetCurrentParent
MessageBox.Show(mnuParent.SourceControl.Name)

Hope this helps
