Select MenuItem Question

I'm building menus in code from a database. How do I
determine which menu item was selected? Does the
System.EventArgs contain this? If so, what property?

Here's the declaration:

Private Sub Menu_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Click


Thanks!

How is the menu constructed? What is the base class here?
Typically, the click event comes from the MenuItem, not the
Menu, in which case the sender object is the MenuItem.

Where do you add the code?

Do you add handlers by using AddHandler? You will get a reference to the
MenuItem in the sender parameter.

Try this:

\\\
MsgBox(DirectCast(sender, MenuItem).Text)
///
