I have a number of controls that use the same context menus. In some
events, I need to know which control is showing the menu. I just use
whichever control has the "focused" property, since I assume one of
them must. Is this the correct way?

are you talking about ContextMenu or ContextMenuStrip?

Sorry, I meant ContextMenuStrips. Although, now that I'm on the
subject, I really don't know the difference between the two.

hi dom,
contextmenustrips came with net 2.0 and replaces the contextmenus.
they are much more flexible and easier to use with regards to have custom
drawing or icons.
with regards to your question, you can use the SourceControl property of the
contextmenustrip.
cheers
