Hello,

want to handle a click event for the menuitem that i created. But i am not
clear how to achieve this. Should i use markerevent? It would be great if
anybody could help me..

yes, you can use marker events. There are examples in the the visio sdk on
how to code marker events.

Visio.UIObject UI;

//vsoMenuSets:The collection of menu sets
Visio.MenuSets visMenuSets;

//vsoMenuSet:The drawing window menu set
Visio.MenuSet visMenuSet;

//vsoMenu:The menu used for demonstration
Visio.Menu visMenu;

// vsoMenus:The menu collection for the drawing window menu
set
Visio.Menus visMenus;

//vsoMenuItems:The collection of items in the menu
Visio.MenuItems visMenuItems;

//vsoMenuItem:The new menu item added to the collection
Visio.MenuItem visMenuItem;

Visio.MenuItem visMenuItem1;
Visio.MenuItem visMenuItem2;
Visio.MenuItem visMenuItem3;
Visio.MenuItem visMenuItem4;
Visio.MenuItem visMenuItem5;


//Get a UIObject object that represents Microsoft Visio
//built-in menus
UI = applicationObj.BuiltInMenus;

//Get the MenuSets collection
visMenuSets = UI.MenuSets;

//Get the drawing window menu set.
visMenuSet =
visMenuSets.get_ItemAtID((int)Visio.VisUIObjSets.visUIObjSetDrawing);

//Get the Menus collection.
visMenus = visMenuSet.Menus;

//Point to the "File" menu
visMenu = visMenus[0];

//Get the MenuItems collection
visMenuItems = visMenu.MenuItems;


//Add a Performance Engineering menu before the Window
menu
visMenuItem = visMenuItems[9].MenuItems.AddAt(0);
visMenuItem.Caption = "Performance Engg";


// visMenuItem.BeginGroup = true;


//Add a menu item to the new Performance Engineering menu
visMenuItem1 =
visMenuItems[9].MenuItems[0].MenuItems.AddAt(0);
visMenuItem1.Caption = "Application Servers";

visMenuItem2 =
visMenuItems[9].MenuItems[0].MenuItems.AddAt(1);
visMenuItem2.Caption = "ESBs";

visMenuItem3 =
visMenuItems[9].MenuItems[0].MenuItems.AddAt(2);
visMenuItem3.Caption = "Database Servers";

visMenuItem4 =
visMenuItems[9].MenuItems[0].MenuItems[0].MenuItems.AddAt(0);
visMenuItem4.Caption = "IBM WebSphere";


visMenuItem5 =
visMenuItems[9].MenuItems[0].MenuItems[0].MenuItems.AddAt(1);
visMenuItem5.Caption = "BEA Weblogic";


applicationObj.SetCustomMenus(UI);

Now i don know how to proceed from here. I used marker Events but it
doesnt seem to work.

You might want to look to see if the CustomMenus have already been set
by another application.
