>A more generic (better, IMO) way would be to add a form-level property to hold the name of a menu file.

Doug Hennig has some classes I think based on FFC ones to handle context menus, and they're pretty flexible (and cool). Everything is done in the control, so there is no need to define a menu file ahead of time. Like everything extremely valuable of his, you can probably find it in a FoxTalk article somewhere. :-)
