C# Windows Forms - MenuItem Click Event - getting the MenuItem Text

How do I get the text of any given menu item that has been clicked on?

The menu is populated dynamically, so it seems I am limited to this:

 Menu.MenuItems.Add(new MenuItem("MenuName", new EventHandler(menu_click)));

Unfortunately, I cannot see that Eventhandler has the text/name of 开发者_Python百科the menu item that has been clicked.

Is there a way around this?

What type of menu is this?

Since you seem to be attaching the event directly to the menu item then I would guess that sender is what you are looking for...

private void menu_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    MenuItem mi = sender as MenuItem;
    // Access the clicked item here..
    string text = mi.Text; // I guess it's called text(?)
}

Your event handler will have been given the object that raised the event as the "sender" parameter. You'll have to cast it to a MenuItem, then examine its "Text" property:

public void MenuClickHandler(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   var menuItem = (MenuItem)sender;

   var menuText = menuItem.Text;
}

The event handler should have an object sender parameter. If you cast this to a MenuItem, you should be able to access the Header property.

void menu_click (object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var clickedItem = sender as MenuItem;

    if (clickedItem == null)
        return;

    if (clickedItem.HasHeader)
    {
        var text = clickedItem.Header;
    }
}

With the standard .NET event handler function signature ...

(sender as Object, e as EventArgs) ' VB.NET syntax

... in the event handler, you can cast sender as MenuItem and access all of the properties.

You can cast the sender object to a menu item and retrieve the Text property.

Sample code

Menu.MenuItems.Add(new MenuItem("MenuName", (o, ev) =>
{
    MessageBox.Show((o as MenuItem).Text);
}));
