Context menu and TabControl question

Hi all,
I have a TabControl in my WinForm, I programmaticall y all tabs to this
control, and add some other controls to each tab. I would also like to set a
context menu to each tab, BUT what I need is right-click on each tab
name/text to popup the menu, when user right clicks the TabPage area (this
is the place holder for my other controls), nothing should happen.
Is there a way I can do it? My current code is

TabPage tp = new TabPage("Tab Name");
tp.ContextMenu = contextTabPage;
tabCtrl.TabPage s.Add(tp);
MyControl mc = new MyControl();
tp.Controls.Add (,c);
mc.Show();
tabCtrl.Selecte dTab = tp;

But this would enable context menu only within TabPage area, if I
right-click tab name, nothing happens.

Thanks!

How can I use the designer to add a context menu to a class which inherits from a control, e.g. treeview, without adding the context menu to a form? For example, to add a context menu with "Select All" and "Clear Selection" to a checked list box? Thanks, Aaron Queenan.

Hi all, I'm just wondering if any one can help me with this development issue I'm having. I've created a customized treeview control to handle the particular tasks to which I'll be using it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
