MenuItem.Popup == ToolStripMenuItem.???

[SkidMark75]

I'm working with an old C# book and it is telling me to add a MainMenu to a Form and then set the Form's Menu to this new MainMenu that I've added, but I can't do that because the Form doesn't have a Menu property - just a MainMenuStrip. So I guess I have to use a MenuStrip, which I'm OK with, but the book is also telling me to add an event handler for a MenuItem's Popup event which the ToolStripMenuItem does not have.

Other than the obvious (get a new book), can anyone tell me how to resolve this situation? What is the equivalent of the MenuItem.Popup event?

just use the menustrip instead of mainmenu.

DropDownOpening is what you're looking for to replace popup.

good luck.

Thanks, MadHatter!

Another question...
How about MenuItem.MenuItems = ToolStripMenuItem.???

I found the below article, but it didn't have anything to convert the MenuItem.MenuItems.

hey!
popup is all about displaying the menu. if you want to see which menuitem is clicked, you should set onclick event and check...

ToolStripMenuItem m_ClickItem = (ToolStripMenuItem)sender;
if(m_ClickItem == mytoolstripmenuitemFileOpen)
{ 
do something
}
