What are you trying to test?
There are a few possibilities.

1)
Test to see if the event handler works.

Solution: Call the OnClick event by hand.

2) 
Test to see if all menu items have an action or onclick event.

Solution:  step through every menu item in and see if it has 
either an onclick event or a submenu.

3) 
Test to confirm the menu item is hooked up to the correct event.

Solution: Set this in code. (not a test).
Find a menu item by its caption and see if the OnClick event is 
set to the correct method.

You can compare the Addresses in some way.
I am not sure if the following works, but 
the principle is to make sure the menuitem is hooked to the 
right function.

Menuitem1.onclick =3D @(Form1.theonclickmethod;

or 
TMethod(Menuitem.onclick) =3D TMethod(form1.theonclickmethod)

I am not sure these comparisons work, but the something like 
them will.



Good luck.
