Question

Here is the xaml for the contextMenu:

    <Window.Resources>
    <ContextMenu x:Key="IBContextMenu" x:Shared="true" Name="IBContextMenu1">
        <MenuItem Header="Edit" Click="ibEdit_Click" AllowDrop="False" />
        <MenuItem Header="Clear" Click="ibClear_Click"/>
    </ContextMenu>
</Window.Resources>

Both the edit and clear items’ methods need to know which label to act upon. How can I do this?

I think you are looking for PlacementTarget:

If you switch over to a Command-pattern, you can actually get this via Binding and pass it along as the CommandParameter…
