Apprentyly just create a new obj of the correct type and setting them
equal... will give me access to the properties of the sender object. Never
tried that before.
Is that the recommended way to do this sort of thing? Here's an example
that seems to work.
Greg
Private Sub MenuStrip_ItemClicked(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArgs)
Dim obj As ToolStripMenuItem
obj = sender
Dim str As String = "" & obj.Tag
MsgBox("Tag value: " & str)
End Sub

Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Runtime Created MenuStripItems - Click Event
Handler
I'm building a menu dynamically at runtime based on an XML document. I
have something like...
MenuItem Text="Menu 1" Tag="Form1"
MenuItem Text="Menu 1.1" Tag="Form2"
MenuItem Text="Menu 1.1.1" Tag="Form3"
MenuItem Text="Menu 1.1.2" Tag="Form4"
MenuItem Text="Menu 1.1.3" Tag="Form5"
MenuItem Text="Menu 1.2" Tag="Form6"
MenuItem Text="Menu 1.3" Tag="Form7"
MenuItem Text="Menu 1.3.1" Tag="Form8"
MenuItem Text="Menu 1.3.2" Tag="Form9"
I wrote some basic logic to load these into a menu strip as individual
menu strip items. This work fine! However, now I want to create a
function to process the items when they are clicked on.
Within the menu items there are tag values that identify the program
name.
So if they click on "Menu 1.3.1", I need to execute Form9.
I can get Form9 to execute based on a subroutine I created that passes
in the form name as a string. However, what I cannot get is an easy way
to have ALL the menu clicks to pass through a single function where I
can pull out the tag value and call my form execution subroutine.
Does anyone know how to create a single event for ALL of the menu clicks
on a menu strip? The problem seems to be that .Net seems EACH menu
strip item as an individual object with events. However, I just want
ALL menu clicks to process through a single event. Any idea what the
event should be?
If I cannot do this, then I will need to wire up an event for EACH of
the menu items as I add them to the menu. I'm not sure how to do that
either.
How do you add events to items that you create dynamically?
I have done that in the past but I do not recall what I did. What I was
hoping is that I could create ONE menu item event and hook it up
programmatically to EACH menu item that I add to the menu item strip at
run time.
Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas would be very much appreciated.
Best regards,
Greg
