Question

Create a context menu using VS 2010 designer?

Answer 1

+1 A:

I dont use VS Designer view. I always prefer to write my XAML myself. ContextMenu is very easy to create. You just need to create a contextmenu as staticResource or directly into the property contextmenu.

<ContextMenu>
            <MenuItem Command="Cut">
                <MenuItem.Icon>
                    <Image Source="Images/cut.png" />
                </MenuItem.Icon>
            </MenuItem>
            <MenuItem Command="Copy">
                <MenuItem.Icon>
                    <Image Source="Images/copy.png" />
                </MenuItem.Icon>
            </MenuItem>
            <MenuItem Command="Paste">
                <MenuItem.Icon>
                    <Image Source="Images/paste.png" />
                </MenuItem.Icon>
            </MenuItem>
        </ContextMenu>

You can also create contextmenu dynamically using code.

MenuItem mnu = new MenuItem();
mnu.Header = "Paste";
contextmenu.Items.Add(mnu);

I hope this will help you.

Thank you abhishek. I was looking for a way to do it graphical in the designer, but seems manually is the best way ):

I'm not sure about WPF/XAML, but in WinForms you can drag a ContextMenu onto the designer to edit it. Look for the ContextMenu in your Toolbox.
