RadDropDown Menu - get selected item?

[Richard Thurgood]

Doing a winform app and I've created the dropdownmenu dynamcically as shown below. Now, I can't figure out how to determine which menu item gets selected so I can execute the proper function. Can you assist?

private void radTreeView1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
  {
    RadDropDownMenu radMenu = this.DropDownMenu;               

    RadMenuItem radMenuItem = new RadMenuItem();
    radMenuItem.Text = "Open";
    radMenu.Items.Add(radMenuItem);

    radMenuItem = new RadMenuItem();
    radMenuItem.Text = "Save";
    radMenu.Items.Add(radMenuItem);

    radMenuItem = new RadMenuItem();
    radMenuItem.Text = "Print";
    radMenu.Items.Add(radMenuItem);

    radMenu.Show(radTreeView1, e.Location);
  }  
}

Ah ha!  Can't believe I didn't think of this right off.  Adding an event handler does the trick. Here's the code:

private void radTreeView1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
  {
    // this.DropDownMenu.Items.Clear();
    RadDropDownMenu radMenu = new RadDropDownMenu();

    RadMenuItem radMenuItem = new RadMenuItem();
    radMenuItem.Text = "Open Notation";
    radMenu.Items.Add(radMenuItem);
    radMenuItem.Click += new EventHandler(RadMenuItem_Click);

    radMenuItem = new RadMenuItem();
    radMenuItem.Text = "Print Notation";
    radMenu.Items.Add(radMenuItem);
    radMenuItem.Click += new EventHandler(RadMenuItem_Click);

    radMenuItem = new RadMenuItem();
    radMenuItem.Text = "Show Details";
    radMenu.Items.Add(radMenuItem);
    radMenuItem.Click += new EventHandler(RadMenuItem_Click);

    radMenu.Show(radTreeView1, e.Location);
  }

}

private void RadMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  RadMenuItem item = sender as RadMenuItem;
  if (item != null)
  {
    MessageBox.Show(item.Text);
  }
}
