Large number of items in breadcrumb popup menu? - Navigation for WPF Forum

Environment: Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hello,

I was told by a colleague of mine that he encountered a massive slow-down of his application when the popup menu of the breadcrumb was filled with a large number of items. Using a Snooping Tool, we found out that the items panel which holds the menu items does not support virtualization.

Can you confirm this? If so, is there a way to enable virtualization?

Regards,

Hi Detlef,

The popup menu are regular ContextMenu objects that are constructed programmatically. So they probably don't have virtualization on by default. Perhaps you could add a template override for ContextMenu in the Breadcrumb's Resources that would tell it to use a virtualized panel though?

Hi again,

does that mean I have to do something like this:

<Breadcrumb.Resources>
   <Style TargetType=ContextMenu>
       <Setter Property="Template">
          ....Setter Value here...
       </Setter>
   </Style>
</Breadcrumb.Resources>

Could you please give me an example how to use e.g. VirtualizingStackPanel instead of the default ItemsPanel?

Thanks in advance,

D. Peters

Hi Detlef,

We haven't tried to do that before on a ContextMenu but posts like this should help you:
