# MenuItemClick

The server-side **MenuItemClick**event occurs when the user clicks on a 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 with the following properties:

   * **Item** - the clicked item.

   * **ParentItem** - the parent item of the clicked item.

   * **Menu** - the parent menu of the clicked item.

   * **Group** - the group of the clicked item parent menu.

   * **Index** - the index of the clicked item in its containing group.

```ASPNET
