I am creating a modular note taking system and I need a way to create a new item in a drop down menu on the main form while also creating an event handler for this new item. I have already created a handler for activation on initialisation but I need to be able to invoke it from another form. I have included the code for both forms and have blockquoted the code from Form1 which is particularly relevant.
So I need to be able to add a new item to a dropdown menu on Form1 and then have the system create a new event handler for if this new item is clicked.
If images of the form are needed let me know. Hopefully someone will be able to help.
