contextmenu

Having a popup menu attached to several components on a form (buttons, but also things like TCharts), I would like to know which component was right clicked to start the popup menu in the first place.

The Sender parameter of the click method just points to the TMenuItem, its parent to the popup menu (or the parenting menu item).

How do I get the originating component?
