Create Context Menu on Windows Forms Form with C#

You will be surprised that we need only 1 (single) control to create the Context Menu on the Windows Forms form. Here we need to add a "ContextMenuStrip" control. Now our project will look such as shown in the following image.



Step 5

Select the “ContextMenuStrip” control and start adding the name of menus, for example I added menus like Menu1, Menu2 and then added SubMenu1, SubMenu2 etc.



Coding / Setting Part

As I said, there is no need for more coding but we need to do a little setting to get the Context Menu appear on the Windows application form. We will learn this is in Step 5.

Step 6

After adding the name of the menu on you application, right-click on the Windows Forms application and go to the properties.



Select "ContextMenuStrip" and change it to ContextMenuStrip1 from (none).



Here we have done our project. To check the Context Menu, run the project (or press the function key F5) and right-click on the form, the Context Menu will appear on the form as shown in the following image.



In the next article, we will learn something new. Thank you.
