Hi

So I have a menu filled with options.
I want to use the selected menu item to do further processing down the line.

Just trying to work out how to get hold of the selected caption from a Tmenu

is the itemindex of menus available to check?

whats the format to get hold of this ?

My code:

function TMenuFrm.HeaderMenuItemClick(Sender: TObject): Boolean;
begin
 with  TIAMODataFrm.MenuHeader do
     begin
     Columns['menuheader_name'].SortDirection:=sdAscending;
     SortCaseInsensitive:=True;
     Sort;
     InitFind;

// get the menu caption of item selected here and use to find the record

    Columns['menuheader_name'].AsString:=Columns['menuheader_name'].AsString:=HeaderMenu.items[HeaderMenu.itemindex].Caption;

//

     if Find(False,True) then
     begin
        Result:=True;
     end
     else
        Result:=False;
     end;
end;



thanks

How about TMenuItem(Sender).Caption in the OnClick event.?
If you need an ID, you can use the MenuItem's tag and get the ID by TMenuItem(Sender).Tag.
