Popup menu with PopupButton - WPF Studio, Themes, and Shared Library for WPF Forum

Posted 16 years ago by Peter Idestam-Almquist

Hello,

I wonder how to display a popup menu using a PopupButton.

I am trying this way:



<Controls1:PopupButton Content="Control" Width="75" Margin="5 0 0 0">
                            <Controls1:PopupButton.PopupContent>
                                <Menu Width="75" IsMainMenu="False" >
                                    <Menu.ItemsPanel>
                                        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                                            <VirtualizingStackPanel Orientation="Vertical" />
                                        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
                                    </Menu.ItemsPanel>
                                <MenuItem x:Name="startMenuItem" Header="Start" IsEnabled="{Binding Path=CanStart}" Click="startMenuItem_Click" >
                                </MenuItem>
                                
                            </Menu>
                            </Controls1:PopupButton.PopupContent>
                        </Controls1:PopupButton>

However, the menu background is incorrect.

Is there any better way to do the job?

Thank you!

Hi Peter,

There is a QuickStart that demosrates this in the Sample Browser, under Shared Library\PopupButton. But to answer your question, you would need to use the PopupMenu property, not the PopupContent. Also, you would need to use a ContextMenu object, not a Menu object. Something like this:

<shared:PopupButton ...>
    <shared:PopupButton.PopupMenu>
        <ContextMenu>
            <MenuItem .... />
        </ContextMenu>
    </shared:PopupButton.PopupMenu>
</shared:PopupButton>

Thank you! It seems I missed this QuickStart...

The latest build of this product (v24.1.1) was released 2 months ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
