[Resolved] Creating event handlers at runtime

I am writing a C# app that creates menu items dynamically. I need to create some events for these menus at runtime. Each one of these menu items can be run through the same function, I just need to hook up a click event at runtime. (i.e. they can all run through the same basic event handler and I can create the appropriate function to handle them all.) I just need to know how to create a single event handler for all of them or create individual click events for each menu item. if you can help... thanks in advance.

Try this

Code:

---

mnuFile.Click += new System.EventHandler(NameOfFunctionToHandleEvent);

---

To unsubcribe to that event you would do this

Code:

---

mnuFile.Click -= new System.EventHandler(NameOfFunctionToHandleEvent);

---

Hope that helped

Exactly what I needed, thanks.

One question about unsubscribing. I am going to have to kill and recreate other menu items in their place. Should I unsubscribe to the event handlers before killing these menus? If I don't will I be wasting memory or will garbage collection take care of it when the menu item gets destroyed?

Being subscribed to an event isn't resource intensive, so it really doesn't matter.

The way I do it though, is when I am not going to be using an object that has event subscribed to, I will unsubscribe before I destroy the object.

Alright. Its simple enough to loop through them and unsibscribe to the events. Better safe than sorry I guess. Thanks.
