Connecting Toolbar Buttons to Menu Items

Typically, toolbar buttons correspond to frequently used menu items. To connect a toolbar to a menu item, you can use that menu item's PerformClick method to make it seem as though the item itself was clicked:

Private Sub ToolBar1_ButtonClick(ByVal sender As System.Object,_
    ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ToolBarButtonClickEventArgs)_
    Handles ToolBar1.ButtonClick
    If e.Button Is ToolBar1.Buttons(1) Then
        MenuItem7.PerformClick()
    End If
End Sub

For example, the button labeled "Menu Button" in the ToolBars example on the CD-ROM (see Figure 10.4) corresponds to the Red item in the Color menu, and clicking that button is the same as clicking the Red menu item.
