use same ContextMenu for different datagridviews

[LordZoster]

Hallo I put several dgv's in a form, and I created a ContextMenuStrip to perform same common operations on dgv's "CurrentRow" record (eg. Deletion). Is there any way I could reuse the same ContextMenuStrip without duplicating, maybe passing the dgv object as an argument? I would avoid to rewrite a control that inherits and extends ContextMenuStrip. Thanks in advance

It's passed by default, in the sender-parameter. That's of type object, so you'd have to cast it to a DataGridView.

Thanks for replying, actually I get an exception of "casting a ToolStripItem type on DataGridView type".

private void deleteToolStripMenuItem\_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  DataGridView dgv = (DataGridView)sender;
  if (dgv.CurrentRow.Index > -1)
    dgv.Rows.Remove(dgv.CurrentRow);
}

Solved.

private void eliminaToolStripMenuItem\_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  ToolStripDropDownItem menu = (ToolStripDropDownItem)sender;
  ContextMenuStrip strip = (ContextMenuStrip)menu.Owner;
  Control owner = strip.SourceControl;
  DataGridView dgv = (DataGridView)owner;
    if (dgv.CurrentRow.Index > -1)
      dgv.Rows.Remove(dgv.CurrentRow);
}

My apologies; it's the ToolStripItem that initiates the action, and that'll be the sender indeed. Thanks for posting the corrected version, always usefull as a future reference :)
