Get Text of selected ASP.Net Menu Item using C# and VB.Net

Hi ahmadsubuhanl...,

When NavigateUrl is set then MenuItemClick event will not fired.

This is by design. By using the NavigateUrl property you are telling it to go to the link specified when clicked and therefore will not cause the click event to run.

The default value is an empty string (""), which indicates that this property is not set.

Refer below code.

HTML

<asp:Menu ID="Menu2" runat="server" Orientation="Horizontal" BackColor="#E3EAEB" DynamicHorizontalOffset="2"
    Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="0.8em" ForeColor="#666666" StaticSubMenuIndent="10px" Height="47px" OnMenuItemClick="Menu2_MenuItemClick">
    <DynamicHoverStyle BackColor="#666666" ForeColor="White" />
    <DynamicMenuItemStyle HorizontalPadding="5px" VerticalPadding="2px" />
    <DynamicMenuStyle BackColor="#E3EAEB" />
    <DynamicSelectedStyle BackColor="#1C5E55" />
    <Items>
        <asp:MenuItem Text="File" Value="File" NavigateUrl="~/form/editabsengroup.aspx">
            <asp:MenuItem Text="Master" Value="Master">
                <asp:MenuItem Text="Invetory" Value="Inventory" NavigateUrl="~/form/form1.aspx"></asp:MenuItem>
                <asp:MenuItem Text="Stock" Value="Stock" NavigateUrl="~/form/form2.aspx"></asp:MenuItem>
                <asp:MenuItem Text="Warehouse" Value="Warehouse" NavigateUrl="~/form/form3.aspx"></asp:MenuItem>
            </asp:MenuItem>
        </asp:MenuItem>
        <asp:MenuItem Text="Proses" Value="New Item"></asp:MenuItem>
        <asp:MenuItem Text="Tools" Value="Tools"></asp:MenuItem>

    <StaticMenuItemStyle HorizontalPadding="5px" VerticalPadding="2px" />
    <StaticSelectedStyle BackColor="#1C5E55" />

Code

C#

    MenuItem selectedItem = (sender as Menu).SelectedItem;
    ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "message", "alert('" + selectedItem.Text + "')", true);
}
