10. Windows Forms Menus

The frame will manage a context menu for you if you set the control's ContextMenu property. Here is some code adding a context menu to a Label.

//Add Menus in your form's constructor...

this.pictureContextMenu = new ContextMenu();

this.pictureContextMenu.MenuItems.Add("&Color",

new EventHandler(Color_Clicked));

this.pictureContextMenu.MenuItems.Add("&Font",

new EventHandler(Font_Clicked));

label1.ContextMenu = this.pictureContextMenu;

// TODO: Add any constructor code after InitializeComponent call

}

private void Font_Clicked(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{ . . . }

private void Color_Clicked(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{ ... }
