Getting the parent object from a context menu

Hi all, im not sure if this is possible but would be a grate help if it was.

I have a several buttons and all have a context menu. That context menu has
one menu item called delete. All context menus share the same click event.

I want to be able to determine which button it has come from (get the
system.windows. form.button) when the delete menu is clicked.

Is this at all possible ?

Thanks for any responses

Scott.

Use the ContextMenu's SourceControl property, e.g.

private void menuItem1_Click (object sender, System.EventArg s e) {
MenuItem mi = (MenuItem)sende r;
ContextMenu cm = (ContextMenu)mi .Parent;
Control c = cm.SourceContro l;
MessageBox.Show (c.Text);
}

For some reason, when I click the X to close my MDI parent form, the action appears to be re-directed to one of the MDI child forms, and the parent remains open. I am then unable to close the application. What should happen, is that the main MDI form should close, taking the child forms with it. There is code to loop through the child forms, remove the controls on each of them, and then close the form, but this code should execute only...

In VB 2005 I have six seperately named picture boxes (arranged in a table layout control) in which I plot different X/Y data lines.

How can I figure out which of the six plots is the one in question when right-clicking on it? I can easily change the line color using the context menu control, but I don't...

I have a context menu which is shared between a TreeView and ListView control (both controls show the same information, similar to how Windows Explorer works, so it makes sense to use the same menu on both views). What i'm struggling to do when the menuItem_Click event is fired, is to detect the TreeNode or ListViewItem that was originally right clicked when the context menu was opened. I can't just look at the selected item, because...
