Hi Helmut,

Sorry I answered a little bit too fast and forgot the object sender
would be a ContextMenuStrip.

No problem. See my 'reply to self' about SourceControl and how I
managed to confude myself.

Argh. For posterity, I have just realized that I took this code from a Click
event where it would be raised by a menu item. The Opening event, however,
is raised by the ContextMenuStrip itself, so there is no need to do all the
casting to ToolStripMenuItem and calling the Owner property to get the
ContextMenuStrip; sender IS the ContextMenuStrip.
