Check which submenu item was clicked in context menu strip

.net, c#, contextmenu

Solution

You can do something like this:

private void SubmenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var clickedMenuItem = sender as MenuItem; 
    var menuText = clickedMenuItem.Text;

    switch(menuText) {
        case "Tiger":
           break;

        case "Lion":
          break;
         . ...
    }
}

Problem

There is a ContextMenuStrip in a grid control. I have named it as GridContextMenu. The GridContextMenu is populated with 4 - 5 items using the following code : ``` gridcontextMenu.Items.Add(new ToolStripMenuItem { Name = Plants, Text = Plants, Tag = Plants, Width = 100, Image = <image source is put here> }); gridcontextMenu.Items.Add(new ToolStripMenuItem { Name = Animals, Text = Animals, Tag = Animals, Width = 100, Image = <image source is put here> }); ``` For the animal menu in tool strip, i added submenu in the following way ``` (gridcontextMenu.Items[1] as ToolStripMenuItem).DropDownItems.Add("Tiger", image_source, new EventHandler(SubmenuItem_Click)); (gridcontextMenu.Items[1] as ToolStripMenuItem).DropDownItems.Add("Lion", image_source, new EventHandler(SubmenuItem_Click)); (gridcontextMenu.Items[1] as ToolStripMenuItem).DropDownItems.Add("Elephant", image_source, new EventHandler(SubmenuItem_Click)); ``` In the SubmenuItem_Click event handler i need to know which animal submenu was clicked. How to achieve this ? currently i have the code for event handler in the following way : ``` private void SubmenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { } ``` How to check condition in this event that which animal submenu was selected ? Kindly share the answer.
