.NET ContextMenu in a COM client and Intellisense

[John Spiegel]

Hi All,

Is it possible to build a ContextMenu object into a DLL then display that
menu within a COM application? I'm having a problem with the ContextMenu
expecting a Control object as a parameter, which I'm assuming the COM
component can't be.

I'm working on extending a VFP app that will be eventually replaced with a
..NET app. In the meantime, we're doing whatever new development we can in
..NET and exposing the functionality in the VFP app.

A secondary question that may be more related to how VFP deals with things,
but is there anything to do on the .NET side to get Intellisense to
recognize the exposed methods of the wrapped DLL? I built another simple
DLL a while ago that is "recognized" by VFP's Intellisense.

TIA,

John

well, one issue is the COM component is a component not a control. to add
that functionality, you would basically need to build a control and load it.
