Context Menu - Display Member, Value member
-
Hi All, I have a ContextMenu. At the leaf node user want to see both the Code and description as follows. 1 - Employee 2 - Customer 3 - Administrator Is there any property similar to ValueMember (as we have in ComboBox) in MenuItem. I want to be able to get value of code i.e. 1 or 2 or 3 when a leaf node is selected. Thanks Ruchi

No, not index. code and Description can be 167 - Employee 256 - Administrator 234 - Customer So what I am displaying on the leaf node in above information. But when any of above node is selected, I want to get 167 or 256 or 234 as the value. LIke in combobox, we set Display member and valuemember. Rigth now I am tokenizing the leaf node upon selection as - dealNo = dealNo.Substring(0, dealNo.IndexOf("-", 0)); to get the reqired piece of information.

The
MenuItemisn't a data-binding control like theComboBox. What you see is what you get - there is nothing "behind the scenes" that track information like this. That doesn't mean you can't add it, though. Extend theMenuItemclass with your own and add a property to hold this information. In theMenuItem.Clickhandler elsewhere in your code, you cast thesender(the first parameter) to yourMenuItemderivative class and get the value of that property.Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles
