How to respond to a ContextMenuStrip item click

Question

Currently I have the following code:

ContextMenuStrip contexMenuuu = new ContextMenuStrip();

contexMenuuu.Items.Add("Edit ");
contexMenuuu.Items.Add("Delete " );
contexMenuuu.Show();

How can I add an event to be processed when an item gets clicked?

Answer 1

This can be done using the following code:

ContextMenuStrip contexMenu = new ContextMenuStrip();

contexMenu.Items.Add("Edit ");
contexMenu.Items.Add("Delete ");
contexMenu.Show();
contexMenu.ItemClicked += new ToolStripItemClickedEventHandler(
    contexMenu_ItemClicked);

// ...

void contexMenu_ItemClicked(object sender, ToolStripItemClickedEventArgs e) {
    ToolStripItem item = e.ClickedItem;
    // your code here
}

Or alternatively:

// ...

ToolStripItem item = contexMenu.Items.Add("Edit ");
item.Click += new EventHandler(item_Click);

// ...

void item_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    ToolStripItem clickedItem = sender as ToolStripItem;
    // your code here
}

Add method returns ToolStripItem. So you can add handle to Click event

        var item = contexMenuuu.Items.Add("Edit ");
        item.Click += methodToBeInvoked;
