Hi Everybody,

I need your help.

I have MS Visual Studio .NET 2003. I noticed that if I added a context menu
to a form. It will not work, unless you add the line:

This ->ContextMenu = this->contextMenu;

manually.

Can anybody tell me why?

IF you have the book named:

Microsoft visual c++ .net step by step made by Microsoft press, you
find this example in chapter 16 page 317

You can usually assign that using the designer, but yes it's necessary to
assign a specific context-menu. This is because you could store multiple
context menu controls on a form, but one is for the form itself, one is a
right-click menu for a grid, one for a text-box, etc. The runtime has no
way of knowing how they pair up until you tell it.
