I really can't think a situation where a context menu with so many options that needs a scroll bar is useful. Why don't you organize that context menu in submenus avoiding tha scroll bar?

BTW, here you have a great context menu http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/677074/Enhanced-ContextMenuStrip

Agree. I can imagine the frustration of a user trying to locate an item and eventually loosing it...

No. A standard context menu can't have a scroll bar, and frankly I agree with the comments: this is a good thing, a menu with that many items is not likely to be useful.

If you want to create a UI like that you'll have to handle the right click yourself and pop up another window which has context menu like behaviour (capture the mouse, close the window if you click off it, press Esc or switch focus away from the application).
