Hi,
Thx. I'm going to have to take some time and review this event routing stuff in depth :-{
I've got this working by setting the CommandTarget for each MenuItem to the object that triggered the menu construction.
For buttons on the form I set the CommandTarget to the UserControl instance.
When the Items in the UserControl were just embedded directly into the form these weren't needed (but I did need a .Focus() in the form constructor)
Best,
Viv
