You'll have to add a "click" event & attach a method to it. Within the method, the first thing you gotta check is whether the clicked item is of type menubarItem. If it is then go ahead & compare the labels & write your actions accordingly. For label comparison, use something like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" . Hope this solves your issue.
