Property Value
The context menu assigned to this element.ContextMenu itself is a FrameworkElement derived class, and it is technically possible for ContextMenu itself to have a ContextMenu property. However, this creates a confusing context menu experience for the user and this practice is not recommended.
This example describes how to create a ContextMenu.
The ContextMenu controls are connected to buttons and have a collection of MenuItem elements
<Button Name="cmButton" Height="30"> Button with Context Menu <Button.ContextMenu> <ContextMenu Name="cm" Opened="OnOpened" Closed="OnClosed" StaysOpen="true"> <MenuItem Header="File"/> <MenuItem Header="Save"/> <MenuItem Header="SaveAs"/> <MenuItem Header="Recent Files"> <MenuItem Header="ReadMe.txt"/> <MenuItem Header="Schedule.xls"/> </MenuItem> </ContextMenu> </Button.ContextMenu> </Button>
btn = new Button(); btn.Content = "Created with C#"; contextmenu = new ContextMenu(); btn.ContextMenu = contextmenu; mi = new MenuItem(); mi.Header = "File"; mia = new MenuItem(); mia.Header = "New"; mi.Items.Add(mia); mib = new MenuItem(); mib.Header = "Open"; mi.Items.Add(mib); mib1 = new MenuItem(); mib1.Header = "Recently Opened"; mib.Items.Add(mib1); mib1a = new MenuItem(); mib1a.Header = "Text.xaml"; mib1.Items.Add(mib1a); contextmenu.Items.Add(mi); cv2.Children.Add(btn);
