menu arrays

[scoutt]

It seems that I have reached my limit of controls on a form. I know how to make the menu arrays in the menu editor but I am not sure on how to make the code that checks to see which menu array was click on.

can anybode give me an example on how to do this?

for example
I have a mnuItem() 0 to 3

I would like to know how to detect to see if I clicked on mnuItem(2).

would I use the select case or something.

TIA

I never wrote a program before that had a control array of menu items, but with a little experimentation I found that you can just to this

Private Sub mnuItem_Click(Index As Integer)
MsgBox Index ' You could use a Case statement here
End Sub

BTW I had to manually add the "Index As Integer".

I was close. I had

Private Sub mnuItem_Click(I As Integer)
End Sub

but when I click on the mnuItem it needs to load a text file into a textbox.
so could I do something like this

Private Sub mnuItem_Click(I As Integer)
select case mnuItem(I)
case 0
for i = 0 to 3
   If mnuItem(i) = 0 then
   open("c:\text.txt")
  'call sub to load into textbox
 End If
case 1
   If mnuItem(i) = 1 then
   open("C:\text.txt")   
  'call sub to load into textbox
 End If
 'and so on
Next I
End Sub

I think I tried that and it didn't work. or did I do something wrong?

Do this

Private Sub mnuItem_Click(Index As Integer)
    select case Index
        case 0 
           ' do something
        case 1
           ' do something else
    End Select
 'and so on

End Sub
