Generic menu event for a menu with dynamic items

[Mac via DotNetMonster.com]

Hi all,

I have a menu that is populated from the results of an SQL query. For
example lets say the menu contains a list of clients IDs. I would like to
click on a particular item and open up a form passing in the particular
client ID that I have clicked on.

It is possible to have a generic event that is activated for any item that
is selected in the menu?
regards,

Mac

Extend each meu item with a 'Tag' property:

<URL:http://www.dotnetrix.co.uk/menus.html>
-> "Create an Extender Component to add a Tag property to MenuItems."

Then use 'AddHandler' to add an event handler which is shared between all
menu items. Inside the event handler check the menu item's tag ('sender'
will contain a reference to the menu item).

Hi add a mainmenu to a form, add one item to the mainmenu then
copy paste the following code in the form load event and copy paste the
Private Sub MenuItem_Click somewhere outside the form load event, and test
the app.
Dim x As MenuItem
For i As Integer = 0 To 9
x = New MenuItem
x.Text = CStr(i)
AddHandler x.Click, AddressOf MenuItem_Click
MainMenu1.MenuItems(0).MenuItems.Add(x)
Next
Private Sub MenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
MsgBox(DirectCast(sender, MenuItem).Text)
End Sub

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build
bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce
bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
