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...

I have never done this before but i cound create a new menuitem and add a
tag property.
