thanks for the feedback, appreciated!
I just realised that I can also use this (without modifying the
implementation):
item("&PowerBlade").click { MessageBox.Show("Powerblades are
amazing...") }
instead of
item("&PowerBlade", lambda { MessageBox.Show("Powerblades are
amazing...") }
same effect, slightly more readable though.
cheers, and I shall move on to long running operations.
