How do I add items to a menu while simultanesously adding an OnClick event
for each. I have an 2Xn array of text items (labels) and matching URLs.e.g.

"Google", www.google.com
"Yahoo", www.yahoo.com

I want the first column to be the menu label and the second column is where
the browser goes when the menu is clicked. OK, so the first part is easy.

AdditionalToolStripMenu.DropDownItems.Add(strResearchLinksArray(i, 1))

How do I go to strResearchLinksArray(i, 0) when that item is clicked. I am
vb.net 2005.

Click to expand...

dim item = AdditionalToolStripMenu.DropDownItems.Add(strResearchLinksArray(i, 1))
item.tag = i

In the click event:

Dim index = DirectCast(DirectCast(sender, ToolStripItem).Tag, Integer)
dim address = strResearchLinksArray(index, 0)


- or -

Create a class inheriting from ToolStripMenuItem and add a property "ServerName".
 
Sorry, I have been unable to connect for a while. Thanx for your help.

I am not sure I understand your solution. You said "in the click event"
and you have me add a line. My question is, how does one add or assign a
click event to each item in the array?

Sorry, only the last question ("How do I go to strResearchLinksArray...")
stayed in my mind. :-) Because you said...

....I assumed that adding the items already works. To have a procedure handle
an event, use the Addhandler statement:
dim item =
AdditionalToolStripMenu.DropDownItems.Add(strResearchLinksArray(i, 1))
Click to expand...

AddHandler item.Click, AddressOf OnMenuItemClick

'...

Sub OnMenuItemClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
'code from last post
End Sub
