I'm trying to convert my context menu with a data bound sub menu to ribbon menu. The follow is my current MenuItem

<MenuItem
    DisplayMemberPath="Name"
    Header="Book Grouping"
    ItemsSource="{Binding ShelfGroupingList}"
    Visibility="{Binding IsShelfOptionsSupported,
               Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}">
<MenuItem.ItemContainerStyle>
  <Style TargetType="MenuItem">
    <Setter Property="IsCheckable" Value="True" />
    <Setter Property="IsChecked" Value="{Binding IsChecked}" />
  </Style>
/MenuItem.ItemContainerStyle>
</MenuItem>

 I'm assuming I have to use a PopUpButton. This is my atempt :

<ribbon:PopupButton
  Label="Book Grouping"
  KeyTipAccessText="G"
  Visibility="{Binding IsShelfOptionsSupported,
          Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}">
<ribbon:PopupButton.PopupContent >
   <ribbon:Menu 
      ItemsSource="{Binding ShelfGroupingList}" >
      DisplayMemberPath="Name"
   </ribbon:Menu>
</ribbon:PopupButton.PopupContent>
</ribbon:PopupButton>

 But I can't figure out how to get the ItemContainerStyle where I bind the IsChecked property. This does display the sub menu but it just display the names.

So what do I need to do?  Is it even posible?

Hi David,

I believe we've had customers in the past do something along the lines of this:

<ribbon:PopupButton Label="Book Grouping" ...>
 <ribbon:Menu ItemsSource="{Binding ShelfGroupingList}">
  <ribbon:Menu.ItemTemplate>
   <DataTemplate>
    <ribbon:CheckBox Context="MenuItem" Label="{Binding Name}" ... />
   </DataTemplate>
  </ribbon:Menu.ItemTemplate>
 </ribbon:Menu>
</ribbon:PopupButton>

Thanks! That works fine. I guess I should have thought it myself. Brain freeze!

Thanks for answering.

The latest build of this product (v24.1.2) was released 2 days ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
