Remarks
The context menu is the menu that
appears when you right click on the control. It can be turned on or
off by setting the ContextMenuEnabled
property. The context menu is initially empty; you add your preferred
menu items to it using the ContextMenuItem methods.
The menuID parameter is used to indicate whether to address the main context menu or a submenu. The menuID of the main context menu is always 0. The menuID of a submenu is returned when the submenu is created with AppendContextMenuSubmenu or InsertContextMenuSubmenu. Note that this menuID has no relation to any ID used by the Windows API.
