Hi All

i have 4 combo boxes and one context menu strip.this context menu strip is attached with all the 4 combo boxes.
this menu has only one button "clear" which will clear the combo box value and set the selected index to -1.The purpose of the context menu is to set the combo box selected index to -1.
Is it possible to get the control to which the context menu strip is activited.

my probelm is i cant get the combo box on which the menu strip was activited or called or displayed what what you call it

plzzz help

thanks

Yes its possible, use the SourceControl property of the ContextMenuStrip. The following code snippet shows how to get the ContextMenuStrip when handling a ToolStripMenuItem Click event (and set the combo box selected index to -1):

		private void someToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			ToolStripMenuItem item = (ToolStripMenuItem)sender;
			ContextMenuStrip strip = (ContextMenuStrip)item.Owner;
			((ComboBox)strip.SourceControl).SelectedIndex = -1;
		}
