RTF content in Context Menu

I have a requirement- need to display RTF content in context menu. I
am able to host a rich textbox in a contextmenu strip using
ToolStripContro lHost class. But assigning some RTF content to the
containing rich textbox control does not display in actual RTF
format- it just dislpays as plain text. Here's the code am using:
//Custom richtextbox to handle bg color in readonly mode
public class MyRichTextBox : RichTextBox
{
public MyRichTextBox()
{
}

public new bool ReadOnly
{
get
{
return base.ReadOnly;
}
set
{
if (value == true)
{
this.BackColor = Color.White;
}

base.ReadOnly = value;
}
}

}

----------------------------------------------------------------
public Form1()
{
InitializeCompo nent();

m_cmenu.Items.A dd(new ToolStripMenuIt em("Edit"));
m_cmenu.Items.A dd(new ToolStripSepara tor());

MyRichTextBox m_richTextBox = new MyRichTextBox() ;
m_richTextBox.B orderStyle =
System.Windows. Forms.BorderSty le.None;
m_richTextBox.D ock = System.Windows. Forms.DockStyle .Fill;
m_richTextBox.R eadOnly = true;
m_richTextBox.S crollBars =
System.Windows. Forms.RichTextB oxScrollBars.No ne;

ToolHost textItem = new ToolHost(m_rich TextBox);
//Assign sample RTF content.
m_richTextBox.R tf = @"{\rtf1\fbidis \ansi
\ansicpg1252\de ff0\deflang1033 {\fonttbl{\f0\f swiss\fprq2\fch arset0
Arial;}{\f1\fni l\fcharset0 Microsoft Sans Serif;}}
\viewkind4\uc1\ pard\ltrpar\sa2 00\sl276\slmult 1\f0\fs28 This is\fs22
\i some\i0 \ul Rich\ulnone \b text\b0\par
\pard\ltrpar\f1 \fs17\par }";

m_cmenu.Items.A dd(textItem);
this.ContextMen uStrip = m_cmenu;//Assign contextmenu for
Form

}

G'day folks, well i am attempting to get an understanding on how to create the menuitems in a context menu on the fly. So far I have managed to actually achieve the menu items being created for the context menu. However, I have stumbled across one problem. Which is that how does one go about enhancing the event handler for the context menu to invoke individual actions for each of the menu items. I have included a snippet of my code....

Hi, I'm looking of a way (preferred - a ready class or dll) to customize the context menu. many application has more controls inside the context menu (like textbox, sliders, checkbox, panel etc'). is there a way making this without writing my own context menu (meaning, popup form or something) ? Please don't post commercial products to this topic thanks.

I'm working on a plotting control. The plotting control will have a context menu with basic commands for "scaling", "zooming", etc. Is there a way that, from the parent form, I can add more commands to the control's context menu? I'm envisioning a case where the control has a set of context menu items, and the parent form also has a set of context menu items. Thanks.

Hi again folks. I have a couple of issues now. I am not sure why I can't get my menu to overlap the content area. I tried using z-index. The effect I want occurs in Firefox but not IE. The other issue that I am having is that my drop down menu's width does not accomodate for the width of the content within the menu. (I am getting two lines for a menu entry when I just want one)

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
