One of the overloaded 'Show' methods, goes for both ContextMenu and ContextMenuStrip classes

I have tryed that method, but I don't understand how it works. It has 6 overloads. First overload is for example ContextMenuStrip1.Show(control, position). If I want to show ContextMenuStrip1 when form loads (Form.Load event) what control to put in ContextMenuStrip1.Show(control, position). Can you give me an working example please.

It won't work on forms Load event because form isn't shown until after Load event handler is finished. Shown event works for this on startup.

Example to display ContextMenuStrip1 relative to Panel1:

ContextMenuStrip1.Show(Panel1, New Point(10, 10))

Example to display ContextMenuStrip1 relative to Form:

ContextMenuStrip1.Show(Me, New Point(10, 10))
