I was thinking that I could subclass the button itself so that it's rightclick would do whatever is necessary. The rightclick event would by necessity be the same for all buttons. That's OK, but the code needs to know which button (ordinal number) was clicked.

There is no problem indentifying buttons. For a numeric number you can create the button ID in a loop.Or just use the Name property of each button as your reference.
