How to attach an event to an menu item

[Jane]

Hi
I am using a Visual Studio .Net 7.0 trail version in
Windows XP.
I've dynamically created some menu items. Now I want to
attach an event to these items, what should I do?
Thanks
Jane

You can double click on those menu items, and the IDE should insert code
somewhat similar to the following:

(in the Designer Generated Code Section)

this.menuItem1.Clicked += new System.EventHandler(menuItem1_Clicked);

(then at the bottom of the .cs file)

void menuItem1_Clicked (object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}

Just write code in that method to do what you'd have happen on the "click"
event.
(I just typed all of the above off the top of my head, there may very well
be some typos)

HTH,

Sorry, you said dynamically created (so double clicking won't work).
Anyway, the code below is more or less what you need. -mike
