I'd not address this in this fashion; either attach a default context menu to all controls and override it as necessary, so that there's always some sort of right-click context menu available, or do something in the Form's MouseMove to determine a relative form coordinate and take some action based on that. You might want to look at the FFC's MouseOverFx class; I don't think you'll have greater success in exploiting it directly in an ActiveX context, though.
