Can you cause the menu to appear in code behind
posted

My application is that instead of having the menu be preset, I want to define it in code behind based on where the user clicked, and then make it appear automatically, not based on a mouse event.

The way I capture the click current is

MouseRightButtonDown

 

 

= in the Xamgrid definition.

The reason why I don't want to just define the menu in advance, is that I do things like look at the contents of the cell and if it has a URL in it, I offer opening the page as one of my menu selections.

    Hi,
    This sample code shows how to create and open the context menu in code behind:
    private void txtLog_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
    {
      TextBox element = sender as TextBox;
      if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(element.Text))
        return;

      ContextMenuManager cmMgr = ContextMenuService.GetManager(element);
      if(cmMgr==null)
      {
        cmMgr =     new ContextMenuManager();
        cmMgr.OpenMode =     OpenMode.None;
            ContextMenuService.SetManager(element, cmMgr);
        cmMgr.ContextMenu =     new XamContextMenu();
        cmMgr.ContextMenu.Placement =     PlacementMode.Center;
      }
      
      cmMgr.ContextMenu.ItemsSource = element.Text;
      cmMgr.ContextMenu.IsOpen =     true;
    }
    Regards,
