Dynamic items added to start menu?

[Matt]

I'm trying to populate the right site of the start menu on the rad ribbon bar with recently access documents. I see how I can load items into there, but how do I handle the events for the clicks if they are being added at run time? Here is my code for adding an item:

 

 

Dim Item As New Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadMenuItem

 

Item.Name =

 

"TestItem"

 

Item.Text =

 

"This is a test menu item"

 

RadRibbonBar1.StartMenuRightColumnItems.Add(Item)

So now how do I programaticly handle the click even for that menu item? Usually I add a click handler through the visual studio IDE for items that already exist... Any help would be appreciated!

I believe you can do the following in VB.

In same place as your code to create the item, you should be able to do the following:

Item.Click += new EventHandler(Item_Click);


Then you can write the event handler similar to:

void Item_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  //Your Code Here
}

If not, in VS, you should be able to type Item.Click += and then hit tab twice and it should generate the event handler for you.  If you already have the event handler setup, you'll only need to replace Item_Click with the name of your event handler.

Hello guys,

Thank you for writing.

@Matt, please consider the following code snippet in order to subscribe to the click event of this item:

Public Class Form1
    Friend WithEvents item As New Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadMenuItem
    Public Sub New()
        InitializeComponent()
        Item.Name = "TestItem"
        Item.Text = "This is a test menu item"
        RadRibbonBar1.StartMenuRightColumnItems.Add(item)
    End Sub

    Private Sub menuItemClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles item.Click
        //do something
    End Sub
End Class

I hope you find this information helpful. Should you have any additional questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
