I would like to add a grid and other controls on to one view. Where the current Item selected in the Grid is the data that is present in the controls.
 
I have some functionality that only is used on the view, like enabling/disabling the grid. And other controls that need to be in the presenter, like creating/deleteing items.
 
I can't seem to figure out how to tie events to the Presenter.
Grid needs to have Context Menu.

See my comments in response to "Adding Grids to View".  We recommend separating grid views and loose control views and combining them using a layout view.

The grid and control views can each have a presenter that is invoked in response to events in its view.  Establish the linkage between the presenters via a common object passed (by the layout view controller) in their view contexts.
