Context Menu Problems

I made a context menu that I only want to pop up when a user right clicks on the grid. My book says that a context menu will pop up on any right click anywhere on the form. How do I make the menu pop up only when the user right clicks when over the msflexgrid control?
Thank you

Your book is incorrect. Only certain controls automatically have context menus associated with them. Since the MSFlexGrid is not a .NET control I believe you would have to display the menu manually:

Private Sub AxMSFlexGrid1_MouseDownEvent(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As AxMSFlexGridLib.DMSFlexGridEvents_MouseDownEvent) Handles AxMSFlexGrid1.MouseDownEvent

If e.button = 2 Then

ContextMenu1.Show(Me, New Point(AxMSFlexGrid1.Left + e.x, AxMSFlexGrid1.Top + e.y))

End If
End Sub

Private Sub MenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem1.Click, MenuItem2.Click, MenuItem3.Click

MsgBox(sender.text)

End Sub

Note that using the FlexGrid control in the Show method of the ContextMenu doesn't seem to work for calling the Click event of the menuitems, at least for me it didn't.
