Yes... Cast the sender to MenuItem and you can access the name
property.

Tnx for your reply Tom

A MenuItem does not have a name property.

I try this:
Dim x As MenuItem

x = CType(sender, MenuItem)

x does not have a name property...

Because i'm building a multilingual app i can't use the text property..

'MenuItem' doesn't have a 'Name' property ;-).

Sorry, about my last answer... I answered without thinking. I can't see
anyway to get the name of the object. So, the only things I can think
todo are 1) make sure each menuitem has it's own click event - then you
know what item for sure clicked it. 2) try to make use of the menuitems
index property 3) inherit from menuitem and create your own class.

None seem ideal really...

In the "empty classes as c structs?" thread, we've been talking in some detail about my proposed "generic objects" PEP. Based on a number of suggestions, I'm thinking more and more that instead of a single collections type, I should be proposing a new "namespaces" module instead. Some of my reasons: (1) Namespace is feeling less and less like a collection to me. Even though it's still intended as a data-only structure, the use cases...
