ToolStripMenuItem question

[flynn]

I am using the new ToolStripMenuItem in .Net 2.0, which replaces MenuItem. MenuItem has an "Index" property, but ToolStripMenuItem does not. Is there a way to determine the index of the currently selected menu item from within a "Click" event?

 

What I'm trying to accomplish is to remove a menu item when it's clicked, then put this same menu item at the top of the menu (the menu is a Most Recently Used list).

       private void OnMRUClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
               ToolStripItem item = (ToolStripItem)sender;

                // remove the menu item from its current location...
                mruList.RemoveAt(item.Index); // <--- error, no Index property
                // ...and add it to the top of the MRU menu
                mruList.Insert(0, mru);                        
       }

 

tia,

Does it not support a Remove property that accepts the actual ToolStripItem rather than its index?

It does, but it expects a generic object as the parameter.

 

Instead, I'll just run a for loop through the array until I find the one I need to remove. Should be fairly quick since there should only be 10 menu items at most.

It shouldn't matter that it expects a generic object as a parameter, have you tried calling mruList.Remove(sender) or even mruList.Remove(item) both should work.
