WPF : Stop a ContextMenu from closing

Question

Hi ,

A Context Menu automatically closes when the user clicks outside of it. Is there a way to stop it from closing ? I tried setting the StaysOpen property to true but failed to get the desired result.

Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

A bit unclear what you are trying to achive, maybe you should use Popup instead so you can close it whenever you want.

Answer 2

Use ContextMenuClosing event.... "To suppress closing context menus, handlers of the event should mark it as handled" from msdn doc - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.frameworkelement.contextmenuclosing%28VS.90%29.aspx
