Apologies, but I'm not too bright <g>. I don't get it. "this" would be my form (System.Windows.Forms.Form), so there's no .OnPopupHandler there. I haven't created the .Popup event, it's a member of MenuItem. To be honest, events in C# are a little murky for me, but whenever I've seen .OnxxxHandler, it's the naming convention when one creates one's own events.

There is a protected virtual MenuItem.OnPopup() method, MSDN says it will raise the MenuItem.Popup event, but I fail to see how I can take advantage of this. Even if I subclassed and override the .OnPopup, I can't call it from my form.

I hope I'm missing something obvious, thanks for your post.
