Get object that called context menu

[Eric]

Hello,

I have a single ConextMenu that is used for dozens of labels. When the user
right-clicks the label, they select a menu item, and that label's text and
tag should be added to a ListBox.

How can I reference the label that initially called the context menu to
popup? I know that I could get the X, Y coordinates of the click, but is
there a more precise way to do this?

Thank you,

Eric

I could be completely off-track, since I am a bit of a novice...

But couldn't you use the *sender* argument to grab the label's identity on
a mouseup/down event? Or is that not how you access your ContextMenu?

Thank you for the reply, Confessor. The sender argument is of type
MenuItem. Mick's answer (ContextMenu.SourceControl) is correct.

Thank you, Mick. Just what I was looking for. (I don't know how I missed
that on MSDN!)
