In .NET, almost every control (and many other classes) actually encapsulate native resources (like HMENUs in this case, and the related APIs) unlike in Java (although frames and othe controls are still tied to HWNDs, which is accessible via JNI).

Since this is possible using the Win32 APIs, it is also possible - though not always easy - in .NET (on that note, .NET 2.0 will apparently have a new WinBar class and derivative classes that will make this MUCH easier, but it's still pretty raw when I tried it from the PDC build).

I tried a quick search on CodeGuru[^] (has lots of custom controls like this) but couldn't pinpoint something specific. I'm sure you'll find some information there, though I'm betting it'll be in VC++/MFC. The same practices can be applied to your derivative ContextMenu through the Handle property (gets the HMENU you can use in native function calls).

Also, I did manage to find one example that is free for non-profit applications at http://www.divil.co.uk/net/controls/sandbar/[^]. There are several other commercial implementations that would do much the same thing (or that just define their own ContenxtMenu-like components from scratch without using native resources) such as http://www.infragistics.com[^].
