I have two WinForms called form1 and form2.
form2 has contextMenuStrip assigned in Constructor via InitializeComponent().
form1 is my start up form.
----Edit:-----
///form1 can open form2 on button click using form2.Show()
Sorry, form1 can open form2 on menustrip subitem click using form2.Show().
----------
Now I start my small program and click on my button on form1 to open form2.
Then I make a right click on form2 to show up the contextmenustrip.

Now I have some strange behaviours:
1). The active form2 is send back the form1 and keeps active.
2). On first right click on form2 contextmenustrip is not shown. (ContextMenuStrip Opening and Closing events are fired)

I do not have these behaviours when using ContextMenu.

I just added a sample project. Also I made an edit on description.

form2 is not opened with button click, but form2 is opened using a submenuitem click from menustrip.
