Hi,

I'm trying to make a dropdown menu where I can select an available printer. I can display the available printers, no problems so far. But how can I recognize if someone clicks on the menu item?
I.E.

C#

string printername = "GX430t" // note: this is a variable name, depends on the printer name installed.

select printerNameMenuItem.DropDownItems.Add(printername); // here do I add the new printer to the menu item.

How do I add an event to the added item, which activates when the user clicks on the menu item?

Please do not downvote questions without commenting why. I did my research, but could not find what I needed. If the question is not asked properly, edit my question or ask me to make it more clear. I am not asking for complete code, just for a hint in the right direction.
