# ApplicationMenuItemClick

The server-side **ApplicationMenuItemClick** event occurs when the user clicks on application menu item, causing a postback.

The event handler function receives two arguments:

1. The **RadRibbonBar** which has fired the event. This argument is of type object, but can be cast to the **RadRibbonBar type**.

2. An EventArgs object. This object has an **Item** property, which provides access to the item that has just been clicked.

The following example shows how to get the text of the clicked item:

```C#
	
protected void RadRibbonBar1_ApplicationMenuItemClick(object sender, RibbonBarApplicationMenuItemClickEventArgs e)
{
    string message = string.Format("Application menu item {0} was clicked.", e.Item.Text);

    textBox1.Text = message;
}
	
```

```VB.NET
	
Protected Sub RadRibbonBar1_ApplicationMenuItemClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RibbonBarApplicationMenuItemClickEventArgs)
	Dim message As String = String.Format("Application menu item {0} was clicked.", e.Item.Text)

	textBox1.Text = message
End Sub
	
```
