ContextMenuStri p .Net framework 2.0

I'm having a problem with the ContextMenuStri p object when using it on a
NotifyIcon while the taskbar is at the top of the screen.

Problem:
The context menu will draw above the top of the screen. This makes it so you
cannot see/select any options except for maybe the last one.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Start a new C# 2.0 Windows Application.
2) Place a ContextMenuStri p onto the form and add a few items to it.
3) Place a NotifyIcon on the form, set it's Icon property and set the
ContextMenu property to the ContextMenuStri p.

Before running, move your taskbar to the top of the screen.

When you run, right click on the icon in the systray and the context menu
should draw above the top of the screen.

Can anyone reproduce this and/or does anyone know how to fix this. Thank you
for your time.

I have a context menu strip. I can Add elements to its "Items", but there is nothing in there to add a sub context menu strip. Menu Item 1 Item 2 Sub Item 1 <-- impossible to add! How do I achieve that? There seems no API's to do that and the internet is simply "empty" when it comes to that. All newsgroups questions are

I've written an application that can minimize to the tray and can reappear if you double click on the icon in the tray (ShowInTaskbar is set to false). I've also created a ContextMenuStrip (Visual C# 2005) so that you can write click on the icon in the tray for options. I then captured the event for mouse clicks on the Notify Icon so that I could detect the left click event and then display the contextmenustrip using either:...

For the last 3 or 4 days I've been, on an off, searching the Internet and theVS2005 Doc for an example of how to add a contextmenustrip to a menustrip. I can move all the items from a contentmenustrip to a menustrip, but what I need to do is have the items in both places. I did see where it was said that a contexmenu can be used in multiple places. But I wonder if that means that multiple controls can reference the same contextmenustrip....

I've been working on an app which has an array of RichTextBoxes. And I have a context menu for the RTBs. The context menu has two levels; the first level has two items, "Load Sample Text File" and "Insert Row >"; the "Insert Row >" item on the first level invokes, if that's the right word, a second level which has two items, "Above" and "Below". This all worked when it was a ContextMenu. But I am trying to change it to use the new menu...
