hi everyone,

in a GUI i'm working on, i would like to use the same ContextMenuStrip that i would associate to a few datagridview to select an item. since it's the same function that is running, it's only logical to use the same strip.

I've created 2 datagridview, associated my strip to each, now i'm trying to understand how to get the calling control.

is there a way to identify the control who called the strip?

thank you!

Use the same event for all controls that share the strip. The current control that the strip is associated with is the "$contextmenustrip1.SourceControl"

Example:

Code: Select all

$testToolStripMenuItem_Click={
	Write-Host $contextmenustrip1.SourceControl.Name
}

Here is a better example:

Code: Select all

$testToolStripMenuItem_Click={
	Write-Host $this.Name
	Write-Host $contextmenustrip1.SourceControl.Name
}

$testerToolStripMenuItem_Click={
	Write-Host $this.Name
	Write-Host $contextmenustrip1.SourceControl.Name
}
