how can you get the name of a menuitem programatically and return is as a
string, for example if
Friend WithEvents mnuExit As System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem

is defined how can you go get the mnuExit

TIA

Why do you need it? I ask because variables names are out of interest at run
time. You can identify the menu item by the reference. Or, you can add menu
items to a Hashtable and use an expressive name as the key.

As Armin mentioned, you can do this by storing (name, reference) pairs
in a 'Hashtable'.
