Add Event Handler to MenuItem added dynamically

Question

I have a MenuItem . I have to add sub MenuItem s to this MenuItem . But the number of sub MenuItem s is returned through a function. So, I added the following function which I am calling in the constructor:

void AddMenuItems()
{
    for (int i = 1; i <= ItemCount(); i++)
    {
        mnuItem.Items.Add(new MenuItem() { Name = "MenuItem" + i, Header = "Menu Item " + i });
    }
}

int ItemCount()
{
    return 3;
}

I hard coded the ItemCount() return value for now. What I want now is, how do I add a click event to these menu items.

Am I doing this the right way? Any suggestions as to improve this method are welcome.

Answer 1

You can do the following, change the menu item creation too

for (int i = 1; i <= ItemCount(); i++)
{
    var menuItem = new MenuItem() { Name = "MenuItem" + i, Header = "Menu Item " + i };
    menuItem.Click += item_Click;
    mnuItem.Items.Add(menuItem);    
}

And then the click handler will be defined as

void item_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    //Do stuff
}
