ContextMenu - MVP please help

[Valerie Hough]

Is there any reason why a ContextMenu object cannot be created (and
populated with menu items) in the constructor of the control for which it
will be used?

If not, then why don't my mnemonics show up if I do it this way? (they work
but don't show as umderlined)

If I create the ContextMenu in my form and use the ShowMenu() function from
my form, the mnemonics will appear properly.

If I do have to do it from my form, then I also have to process MouseUp() in
my control, then notify the parent form so that it can display the
ContextMenu (obviously not what I want to do, nor would it seem that this
would be Microsoft's intended behavior)

Please help!

Thanks in advance,
Valerie Hough
