ContextMenuStrip.Opening event Handler fires with e.cancel already True

Question

The first time that my ContextMenuStrip.Opening event is fired on my form, e.cancel is already True. Why is it doing this? I would expect e.cancel to be False, the way it is the other times it is fired. This is causing problems when the ContextMenuStrip doesn't appear when I want it to.

Answer 1

I found my problem: I'm populating the ContextMenuStrip within the Opening event, so the first time it is called it is empty and optimizes to e.Cancel = True. I just stick "e.cancel = False" in there and I'm good.
