# ContextMenu

The Wisej.NET `ContextMenu` provides right-click shortcut menus for controls or form areas. These menus can combine relevant items from a form's `MainMenu` or introduce new context-specific commands. For example, a `TextBox` control's context menu might offer font changes, text search, and clipboard operations.

Controls and forms expose a `ContextMenu` property for binding the menu. Multiple controls can share one `ContextMenu`. Use the `SourceControl` property to identify which control triggered the menu for control-specific actions or menu modifications.

Handle the `Popup` event to modify menu items (set check marks, disable items) before display.

## Features

### Reusable

The `ContextMenu` can be assigned to any control supporting the `ContextMenu` property.

One `ContextMenu` instance serves both `Button` and `ComboBox` controls.
