Menu.GetContextMenu Method

Definition

Gets the ContextMenu that contains this menu.

public:
 System::Windows::Forms::ContextMenu ^ GetContextMenu();
public System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu GetContextMenu ();
member this.GetContextMenu : unit -> System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu
Public Function GetContextMenu () As ContextMenu

Returns

The ContextMenu that contains this menu. The default is null.

Examples

In this example, you use the GetContextMenu method to obtain a reference to the shortcut menu that contains menuItem1 or menuItem2, and display the shortcut menu information in a message box. You programmatically create a shortcut menu with two items, New and Open. You then add functionality to these items by creating the appropriate event handlers. When you run the example, you get a message box that tells you to right-click the form in order to display the shortcut menu. Then, when you click a menu item, you get another message that tells which item has been clicked and displays the information on the containing shortcut menu. This example requires that you have already created a Form named Form1.

Remarks

This method allows you to obtain a reference to the ContextMenu that this menu is contained in. This property returns null if the menu is not contained in a ContextMenu. This can occur if the menu is contained in a MenuItem or MainMenu, or if the menu is not contained in any menu. You can use this property to determine whether a menu is currently being used, and also to determine where.
