Note: This event is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.
Occurs when a menu item in a
Menu control is clicked.
Namespace: System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
Syntax
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Event MenuItemClick As MenuEventHandler
Dim instance As Menu
Dim handler As MenuEventHandler
AddHandler instance.MenuItemClick, handler
public event MenuEventHandler MenuItemClick
public:
event MenuEventHandler^ MenuItemClick {
void add (MenuEventHandler^ value);
void remove (MenuEventHandler^ value);
}
/** @event */
public void add_MenuItemClick (MenuEventHandler value)
/** @event */
public void remove_MenuItemClick (MenuEventHandler value)
JScript supports the use of events, but not the declaration of new ones.
Remarks
The MenuItemClick event is raised when a menu item is clicked in a Menu control. This allows you to provide an event handler that performs a custom routine, such as synchronizing with another control on the page, whenever this event occurs.
A MenuEventArgs object is passed to the event handler, which allows you to access the properties of the menu item that raised the event.
For more information about handling events, see Consuming Events.
Example
The following code example demonstrates how to create an event handler for the MenuItemClick event that displays the text of the menu item selected by the user.
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<script runat="server">
Sub NavigationMenu_MenuItemClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MenuEventArgs)
' Display the text of the menu item selected by the user.
Message.Text = "You selected " & _
e.Item.Text & "."
End Sub
</script>
