I have been trying to make a context menu strip as in MS excel as shown below with another context menu in the form of a tool strip above the regular context menu strip.

But it was not possible to have two context menu strips at the same time in vb .net.
So I made a separate tool strip and made the required visibility changes to give similar effect. But when the context menu strip gets focus on right click; no other items can get focus until the context menu strip closes. Though my tool strip works on click, but events like mouse hover are not fired. Hence the tooltip option also does not work.
Another method which I tried was making my own context menu strip and was using the tool strip itself like a context menu Strip. But the problem with that is I am not able to get sub menus for my tool strip.
