→Adding Context Menus to a Visual Basic Form
[[Image:visual_basic_textbox_context.jpg]]
The purpose of this example is to create a context menu on form which will contain options to hide and show the ''MyTextBox''' object. From the Visual Studio Toolbox, double click on the ''ContextMenuStrip'' object. The object will be added to the form. You will notice, however, that since the menu is not located at any specific position in the form, it is located in the panel beneath the form. To display the menu in the form, or edit properties of the object, simply click on this instance of the object. With the object selected, change the name to ''TextBoxMenu'' by changing the ''Name'' property in the Properties panel. You will notice also, that a representation of the context appears in the form area:
