wxMenu connect events

wxMenuBar * menubar = m_frame->GetMenuBar();
wxMenu * menu = menubar->GetMenu(1);
wxInt32 menuId = menu->FindItem(wxT("MENU"));    
wxMenuItem * menuItem = menu->FindItem(menuId); 
wxMenu * steps = menuItem->GetSubMenu();
steps->Connect(wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED, wxCommandEventHandler(Class::OnMENU), NULL, this);

This is the code but when I click on the menu, OnMENU is not triggered. Is this right?

Solution

  • AFAIK command events, such as menu events, are sent to the parent window, which in this case is m_frame. You need to call Connect() on m_frame, not on the menu (item).
