Though it probably wasn't clear in my original post I would like the 
actual button "File, Edit, Help, etc." that is being clicked.  I have 
one menu button in particular whose values are determined by calls to 
an external.  I would prefer not to call the external function every 
time the user clicks on the menu as a group, just when they click on 
one menu item in particular.
