MenuItem::OnSelect Method (EventArgs^)
.NET Framework (current version)
Raises the Select event.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Handling and Raising Events.
Notes to Inheritors:
When overriding OnSelect in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnSelect method.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the Select event of the MenuItem class to assign help text to a StatusBarPanel of a StatusBar control. This example requires that MenuItem objects named menuOpen, menuSave, and menuExit are added to a MainMenu control on a form. The example also requires that a StatusBar control, named statusBar1 has been added to the form. The StatusBar control should contain a StatusBarPanel.
private: void MenuSelected( Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ ) { if ( sender == menuOpen ) statusBar1->Panels[ 0 ]->Text = "Opens a file to edit"; else if ( sender == menuSave ) statusBar1->Panels[ 0 ]->Text = "Saves the current file"; else if ( sender == menuExit ) statusBar1->Panels[ 0 ]->Text = "Exits the application"; else statusBar1->Panels[ 0 ]->Text = "Ready"; }
