What version of SBO are you using? In 2004, there is no right click event, (2005 does have a right_click event) so it can give a little trouble. Mostly a right click triggers a normal click event, but not always.
Adele is right for the menu adding, you can add menuitems directly to the forms own menu.
However, the clicked row is not in the pVal.Row value, because the click on the context menu does fire a menuevent, wich does not have a pVal.Row variable.
You should have a global variable, and when the right clickevent occurs, save the row from pVal.Row. When later the menuclick occurs get the row from your global variable and perform your tasks.
<b>Code (C#):</b>
/* Global variable */
private int myRow;
/* Add the menu */
/* Add a procedure to add your form, see the UI API*/
public override void Handle_ItemEvent(string FormUID, ref ItemEvent pVal, out bool BubblesEvent)
  /* Catch the click */
  if((pVal.EventType == et_Click) && (FormUID == "MY_FORM_UID") && pVal.beforeAction)
    myRow = pVal.Row; 
  BubblesEvent = false;
public override void Handle_MenuEvent(ref MenuEvent pVal, out bool BubblesEvent)
  /* catch the menuclick */
  if((pVal.MenuUID == "My_Context_MenuUID") && pVal.BeforeAction)
    NiceFunctionToHandleMenuClickEvent();
  BubblesEvent = false;
private void NiceFunctionToHandleMenuClickEvent()
  /* Add your procedure wath you want to do with the row */
  /* The row is stored in myRow */
Hope it helps, Rowdy
