[BrowsableAttribute(true)]

Property Value

Type: ContextMenuStrip
The ContextMenuStrip for the control, or a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if there is no ContextMenuStrip assigned. The default is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

If a ContextMenu has also been assigned to the control, the ContextMenu property takes precedence over the ContextMenuStrip property.

Examples

The following example displays the ContextMenuStrip assigned to a OvalShape control when the right mouse button is clicked and released. This code requires that you have a Form with an OvalShape control on it. It is also required that the OvalShape has a ContextMenuStrip assigned to its ContextMenuStrip property.

Private Sub OvalShape1_MouseUp(
    ByVal sender As Object, 
    ByVal e As MouseEventArgs
  ) Handles OvalShape1.MouseUp

    ' If the right mouse button is clicked and released, 
    ' display the shortcut menu assigned to the TreeView.  
    If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right Then
        OvalShape1.ContextMenuStrip.Show(Me, New Point(e.X, e.Y))
    End If 
End Sub

private void ovalShape1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            // If the right mouse button is clicked and released, 
            // display the shortcut menu assigned to the TreeView.  
            if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
            {
                ovalShape1.ContextMenuStrip.Show(this, new Point(e.X, e.Y));
            }
        }
