cannot invoke properties of control

I'm trying to programmatically create a axWindowsMediaPlayer and show it:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        AxWMPLib.AxWindowsMediaPlayer wmplayer = new AxWMPLib.AxWindowsMediaPlayer();
        wmplayer.Size = new Size(200, 200);
        wmplayer.enableContextMenu = false; //here it throws an exception
        this.Controls.Add(wmplayer);
    }

but it says {Property set of 'enableContextMenu' cannot be invoked at this time.}

why is that? why can I set Size but not enableContextMenu?

I found the solution:

It is important that you do changes and/or function calls after you added wmplayer to this.Controls. I don't know why wmplayer.Size worked, but it is definitively the exception..

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    AxWMPLib.AxWindowsMediaPlayer wmplayer = new AxWMPLib.AxWindowsMediaPlayer();
    this.Controls.Add(wmplayer);
    wmplayer.Size = new Size(200, 200);
    wmplayer.enableContextMenu = false; //here it throws an exception
}

works perfectly fine..
