Tracking Source of Context Menu

I have a form which 30 some labels exist. Each Label has the same context menu binded to it. I would like the ability to retrieve & pass the label that activated the context menu's click event, to a specified function.

Now the click event does have the sender object, however it's getType shows it as a menu control. Manually, using add watch during debugger, I can sort through sender and find the initiating label. So the question is, is there some way of taken the sender object and retrieving the initiating label through code?

Dim snd as MenuItem = DirectCast(sender, MenuItem)
Dim Lbl as Label = DirectCast(snd.GetContextMenu.SourceControl, Label)

MessageBox.Show("The label was " & lbl.Name)

Thanx, works great
