Context Menu: specifying the sub to handle the menu selection

[tmaster]

When I am typing the argument(s) of the Add method of MenuItems, one of the
options (#2 of 5) provides for 'OnClick as System.EventHandler' (as the
second arguement), which I hope is to provide a reference to the 'Handler'
sub:

mnuTopics.MenuItems.Add("DoSomething", DoSomething_Handler)

What is the corresponding sub syntax? The following is not the correct
syntax.

Private Sub mnuTopics_DoSomething_Handler(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles mnuTopics.DoSomething_Handler

Thanks

Try this

MnuTopics.MenuItems.Add("DoSomething", AddressOf DoSomthing_Handler)

Hello

In assuming that you intend to dynamically add menu items based upon some
need during runtime your handler sub only needs to look like the code below.
You would be using the same handler for all of the added menu items. Within
that handler you could branch off to different procedures based upon the
value of the sender object. If the menu additions are part of a 'Plug-In'
scheme you could use reflection to direct execution flow to the proper
procedures.

Private Sub MenuClickhandler(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e AsSystem.EventArgs)



End Sub

Try

mnuTopics.MenuItems.Add("DoSomething", New EventHandler(AddressOf
mnuTopics_DoSomething_Handler))

The Sub seems fine
remove the "handles" clause
