Visual basic Basic ''Context menus'' are the menus that pop up when the user clicks with the right hand mouse button over a control or area in a form. They are called context menus because the menu is usually specific to the object over which the mouse was clicked. Context menus are also sometimes referred to as ''Popup menus'' or ''Shortcut menus''.
This chapter will provide an overview of the steps necessary to create and program Context menus in Visual Basic. For information on creating ''Top-level menus'' see the [[Creating Top-Level Menus in Visual Basic]] chapter of this book.
