Sorry, It was a typo in pasting the code in my email.
But the problem still exists with the code below:


      var actiongroup = new Gtk.ActionGroup("MainActions");

      Gtk.MenuItem menuitem = new Gtk.MenuItem.with_mnemonic("_Actions");
      Gtk.Menu actionmenu = new Gtk.Menu();
      Gtk.Action test = new Gtk.Action ("Test", "Test", null, null);
      actiongroup.add_action (test);
      test.activate.connect ((source) => {
           sample_func();
      });

      Gtk.MenuItem testitem = (Gtk.MenuItem) test.create_menu_item();

      actionmenu.append(testitem);
      menuitem.set_submenu(actionmenu);
      menubar.append (menuitem);

      ....

      public void sample_func()
      {
          debug ("sample function executed");
      }

I also used these lines to connect signals to sample_func, but it made no
difference:

   test.activate.connect (sample_func);
And:
   test.activate += sample_func;
