Cannot get the parent of the menu Item

Hi ,

I have a toolstripMenuItem with many children underneath.

When I am clicking on the mnuchild i would like to get the name of the parent menu.

I have tried everything But i cannot find anything that brings the result.

I was expecting

mnuchild.Parent but there is not such a property/method.
any ideas?

thanks a lot

In the child menu item's click event, you can cast the sender event arg to a ToolStripItem and check its OwnerItem property.

private void newToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

ToolStripItem tsi = sender as ToolStripItem;

MessageBox.Show(tsi.OwnerItem.Name.ToString());

}

Thanks for the code However on my vb.net beta 2 2005

I dont have "Owner.Item"

Private Sub TestparentToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TestparentToolStripMenuItem.Click

Dim tsi As ToolStripItem = CType(sender, ToolStripItem)

MessageBox.Show(tsi.Owner.Items.ToString())

end Sub

Any ideas
