Hello all:

Is there a way to pass a function address to another function in C#?

I have a few event handler functions such as menuItem_Click that I would
like to pass as such TheFunction(menuItem_Click), and receive as such
private void AnotherFunction(?what goes here?).

Thanks.

John,

Look up "delegate" in the help file.
 
Think in objects. What objects should be called by your method? menu items
only?

using System.Windows.Forms;

//Called function
void MyMethod(MenuItem useThisControl)
{
// Somewhere in here,
useThisControl.PerformClick();
}

//Calling code
// ...
MyObject.MyMethod( menuItem );
