NT 7 upgraded ContextMenu to ContextMenuStrip.
You can see quick sample how to implement Context Menu Items in the attached file.
To PrTester and others: Please DO NOT bypass TriggerCustomEvent or you can end up messing up internal NinjaTrader Events and get unpredictable results and/or behavior.
P.S. Attached file is for NT7 only. NT 6.5 users do not bother trying it.

Thanks for the code example - I am slightly confused though. You declare ToolStripitems yet place them in a contextmenustrip.
I haven't worked out what ontermination() does yet eitherbut I have only had beta for a day - it can't be instead of dispose which is where I would have put this code previously. EDIT -YES IT IS- NT7 does away with Dispose()
Just as I thought I had some kind of handle on NS it all changes (lol)
Edit - when you hover the mouse over Trigger Custom Event it now urges you to use another signature as it is deprecated?? Oops I see the new signature.
I have spent a fruitless 3 hours trying to get my menu to work using this Code structure but it won't.
I shall have to see if support can help ( that should be a laugh!)
Sorted it myself with Roonius' code example above.
Big thanks to Roonius for supplying the context menu snippet - saved me hours of searching.
I am brand new to NT7 and without that concept of ContextMenuStrip I have no idea how long it would have taken me to sort out.
