I am trying to create a menu dynamicly using databinding, where the datasource is hierarchical with parent objects mapped onto sub-menus. I can get the menu created using DataTemplates, but the problem is the sub-menu only appears when the PopupButton in the parent menu is clicked instead of when moused over, and doesn't go away when the mouse moves away.
Here's my example XAML:And my code-behind:
I guess something needs to set IsPopupOpen = true on the PopupButton when IsMouseOver == true. I looked in the PopupButtonMenuItemSmallTemplate control template, but couldn't see any triggers to do this. I tried adding a trigger like this:
but it doesn't work properly - the sub-menu appears, but when the mouse moves away from the parent item the entire menu disappears.
