  Can anyone tell me if there is a way to tell programmatically which item is highlighted on the menu? (IE mouse over it)
  
  I have a customer that would like to have the currently highlighted item bring up the correct section of the help file when F1 key pressed. (Context sensitive help) I have been able to do all the controls except the C1MainMenu.
  
  The standard .NET menustrip has a ‘selected’ member, but I don’t see anything similar in the C1MainMenu.
  
  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hi Steve,

  You can use the CurrentLinkChanged event of C1MainMenu as given in code snippet below to get the Current Link on hovering with a mouse:

  private C1CommandLink _selectedLink = null;
          private void c1MainMenu1_CurrentLinkChanged(object sender, C1.Win.C1Command.CommandLinkEventArgs e)
          {
              _ selectedLink = e.CommandLink;
              Text = _selectedLink?.Text; // Show current link text on Window title
          }
  

  Please let us know if you found this useful.
