ToolStrip Menu click
Hi experts,
Wend I click in submenu dropdown list item on a toolstrip menu I need to retrieve the parent button name and the clik button name as well.
Im able to get the clicked item name but I need as well the parent item name, how cold I get this.
The items that I show on dropdown list are a loop that I made to a folder to get all the files in that folder.
These items in the edit button are the same on the select button, thats the reason why I need the parent button name, so I can take the correct action.
Ex.:
Suppose I mouse over Edit then will show all my files, wend I click in one I need to know if the file is to edit or select.
Check the img.

Here's a simple method that you'd call within the click event of your child items
Private Function Blah(ByVal ClickedItemName As String) As String
For Each ddi As ToolStripDropDownItem In Me.EditToolStripMenuItem1.
If ddi.Name = ClickedItemName Then
'do something found the match by name
End If
Next
End Function
Another method would be to add a value to the tag property of your child items that gave you the information you need.
