Is there a way to apply the same contextmenustrip to more textboxes? I have a WinForm with 6 textboxes and I want my context menu strip to clear the context of a texbox.

private void stergeContinutToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        tb_cnp.Clear();
    }

I was wondering if there was a way to change the code so that the contextmenustrip works on every textbox in my form. (I mean, on a generic textbox)

I want to avoid writing the same code for 6 contextmenustrips. Thanks!

What about just attaching the same event... on the designer... go to events and paste the one that you have to all content strips. – David Espino Apr 19 '17 at 17:09
Are you asking to loop through all your controls to find all the TextBoxes, or how to attach the same menu strip to all the TextBoxes? – LarsTech Apr 19 '17 at 17:13
Exactly @LarsTech. – Roxana Elena Cismaru Apr 19 '17 at 17:16
Exactly what? I'm still confused what you are asking. – LarsTech Apr 19 '17 at 17:17
@DavidEspino I've tried youe solution, but unfortunately it does not work. No matter where I apply the contextmenustrip, only the content of the textbox invocated in the code of the contextmenustrip is deleted. But thank you for your help. :) – Roxana Elena Cismaru Apr 19 '17 at 17:19
@LarsTech , I want to have just one contextmenustrip and apply its functionality to every textbox in my form. It should clear the content of a textbox, no matter which textbox it is. – Roxana Elena Cismaru Apr 19 '17 at 17:20
It should strip to all the textboxes. – Roxana Elena Cismaru Apr 19 '17 at 17:21
`textBox1.ContextMenuStrip = yourMenu; textBox2.ContextMenuStrip = yourMenu;` etc, etc. – LarsTech Apr 19 '17 at 17:22
