I think its pretty simple just make a new MenuStrip And in the designer view go to the properties of that textbox and add the menu to the contextMenuStrip Property of that text box and thats it. hope it helps Rocky

hi alban, For .net 1.1 Add a context menu from the toolbox to the form, add sub menu's as required by you Then go to the textbox property,then set ContextMenu property to context menu which you have created. For .net 2.0 Add a contextmenustrip from the toolbar to the form, add sub menu's as required by you Then go to the textbox property, then set ContextMenuStrip property to context menu strip which you have created

You can make a borderless form and then use that as your context menu. Just make the form apear when you right click the textbox. To exchange information to this context menu, you can add a reference to the base form in the contstructor of the contectmenuform

Programming code is like magic, just use the right code (magic words) to make happen what you want..
