WPF DataGrid ContextMenu(s)

Question

Hi,

how can I define different ContextMenus for each column in the DataGrid (Microsoft's grid)? I found out that the grid provides a ContextMenu attribute, but i want different context menu items for the columns, not the same ContextMenu for the whole grid..

Thanks for any help on this!

Edit: Thanks for your answer! I tried to listen to the ContextMenuOpeningEvent as you suggested which was a first success: the ContextMenu can be modified in the EventHandler. But it raises another (hopefully small) problem - I now have to identify the column the mouse cursor was over when the ContextMenuOpeningEvent was triggered. I'm going to research how to do (or work around) that later.

I haven't played with it at all, so this might be wrong, but you may be able to override the ContextMenuOpening event and create the appropriate menu on the fly.

Good luck.
