JC,
It's not quite an elegant solution, but you should be able to make it work through
reflection.
[C#]
private void OnMenuItemClick(object sender, EventArgs e) {
Type myFormType = myForm.GetType();
string name;
foreach (FieldInfo field in myFormType.GetFields()) {
if (field.GetValue(myForm) == sender) {
name = field.Name;
break;
}
}
}
[VB]
Private Sub OnMenuItemClick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Dim myFormType As Type = myForm.GetType()
Dim field As FieldInfo
Dim name As String
For Each field In myFormType.GetFields()
If field.GetValue(myForm) Is sender Then
name = field.Name
Exit For
End If
Next
End Sub
This assumes that myForm contains a reference to your form object and that the System
and System.Reflection namespaces are correctly imported. When the OnMenuItemClick
method is added to the event handlers for the Click event of the MenuItem, the name of
the field that holds the reference to the clicked MenuItem will be assigned to the
variable name.
HTH,
