Rename a checkbox by implementing ContextMenu c# winforms

Question

I have set of dynamically created checkboxes on a panel and also have implemented ContextMenuStrip on all checkboxes. I am unable to detect that which control currently displays the shortcut menu defined in the ContextMenuStrip.

Answer 1

I have got the answer.

private void MenuViewDetails_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)    
{    
    // Try to cast the sender to a MenuItem    
    MenuItem menuItem = sender as MenuItem;    
    if (menuItem != null)    
    {    
        // Retrieve the ContextMenu that contains this MenuItem    
        ContextMenu menu = menuItem.GetContextMenu();    

        // Get the control that is displaying this context menu    
        Control sourceControl = menu.SourceControl;    
    }
}

Answer 2

Use the SourceControl() property.

With a ContextMenu:

    private void menuItem1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)contextMenu1.SourceControl;
        Console.WriteLine(cb.Name);
    }

With a ContextMenuStrip:

    private void renameToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)contextMenuStrip1.SourceControl;
        Console.WriteLine(cb.Name);
    }
