Same ContextMenuStrip assigned to two listviews.. How do i tell which one called it?

[Michael.Suarez]

I have 1 contextmenu with several buttons.

two different listviews sit beside each other on the same form. Both
use the same context menu.

I have a method for when a menu item gets clicked:

private void mnuMapNew_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}
The sender in this case is the menu item, not the listview...

how can i grab hold of which listview was clicked to pop the menu to
lead to this item being clicked from within this method.

Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

When i say:
I have 1 contextmenu with several buttons, i mean several menu items.

Michael,

You might want to try the SourceControl property. The documentation
states:

The control that caused this ContextMenuStrip to be displayed.

Hope this helps.
