>I am creating a class that displays student names on a contextmenu. The class exposes a funtion GetStudid, which displays the contextmenu and must return the corresponding studid of the selected student. The problem is I can't get the correct studid. What is returned is the studid of the student that was previously clicked.

I couldn't reproduce what you're seeing. However I created a C# version and (I think this might be) instead of MsgBox() I used MessageBox.Show().
