# ContextMenu Component Overview (Windows Forms)
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Although <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuStrip> and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenuStrip> replace and add functionality to the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu> and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu> controls of previous versions, <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu> and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu> are retained for both backward compatibility and future use if you choose.
With the Windows Forms <xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu> component, you can provide users with an easily accessible shortcut menu of frequently used commands that are associated with the selected object. The items in a shortcut menu are frequently a subset of the items from main menus that appear elsewhere in the application. A user can typically access a shortcut menu by right-clicking the mouse. On Windows Forms, shortcut menus are associated with controls.
## Key Properties
You can associate a shortcut menu with a control by setting the control's <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.ContextMenu%2A> property to the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu> component. A single shortcut menu can be associated with multiple controls, but each control can have only one shortcut menu.
The key property of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu> component is the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Menu.MenuItems%2A> property. You can add menu items by programmatically creating <xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem> objects and adding them to the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Menu.MenuItemCollection> of the shortcut menu. Because the items in a shortcut menu are usually drawn from other menus, you will most frequently add items to a shortcut menu by copying them.
