i has Select event for MainMenu items that occurs when the menu item is selected.

in c#2005 i use MenuStrip for forms that menustrip items dont have Select event :mad:

so how can i check when one of menu items be select?

i want design a status bar and show menu help string for each menu item that user select it by mouse or keyboard

You don't seem to have a way to hook the keyboard select with the menu strip anymore - mouse events can be done with the MouseEnter / MouseHover.

 

Also if you have a tooltip control on a form you can associate a tooltip with a menu strip item, might be easier; plus the information is displayed closer to the mouse pointer / where the user is probably looking on screen anyway.
