When will MenuBar.MenuItemClicked Event fire?

Hi.

I have dropped a FlexLayoutPanel into a Page and then a MenuBar into the panel. Created some Items and added a MenuItemClicked event to one of them. While debugging, realized the event never got fired once I clicked the menu item. So I added a Click event handler and it worked just fine. Just curious, will the MenuItemClicked get fired in some different scenario?

Best.

Ivan

MenuItemClicked fires when you click a MenuItem (child menu item). It allows a menu control to handle events on child menu items instead of having to attach the Click event on each menu item. The clicked menu item is referenced in e.MenuItem.

Thanks for the explanation Luca. I am probably doing something wrong, then, as the MenuItemClicked handler never runs. However, it is so straight forward that I can’t think of anything else that should be done.

    Hi Ivan! MenuItemClicked only fires when it’s attached to a MenuBar, ContextMenu, etc.. Not when attached to the actual MenuItem. I’ll log the issue of the event not firing when attached to a MenuItem. The expected behavior would be that it fires when a child of the attached MenuItem is clicked. Best, Levie

    Thanks Levie. It makes sense, I got it to work now. I apparently didn’t see it in the MenuBar Events, go figure! :-) As per Luca explanation, this should really be the expected behavior. Maybe the fix should be to get rid of MenuItemClicked from the MenuItems events. Cheers.
