What object is the context menu attached to?
posted

I am creating a right click menu using XamContextMenu that I am attaching to XamMenuItems in a XamMenu. The menu displays and the click even fires. But, how can I determine what object the context menu is attached to? 

I need to get a reference to the object which was right-clicked on to bring up the context menu. 

thanks,

BOb

    Hi,

    You can hook up to the XamContextMenu's Opening / Opened event and from the event handler obtain a reference to the XamMenuItem that was clicked by calling the GetClickedElement() off the event arguments object, here is a sample code:

    <ig:ContextMenuService.Manager>
    
                <ig:ContextMenuManager OpenMode="RightClick">
    
                    <ig:ContextMenuManager.ContextMenu>
    
                        <ig:XamContextMenu x:Name="mnuContext" Opening="mnuContext_Opening">
    
                            <ig:XamMenuItem x:Name="mnuName" Header="Some Header"/>
    
                        </ig:XamContextMenu>
    
                    </ig:ContextMenuManager.ContextMenu>
    
                </ig:ContextMenuManager>
    
            </ig:ContextMenuService.Manager>

     
            private void mnuContext_Opening(object sender, OpeningEventArgs e)
            {
                var item = e.GetClickedElements<XamMenuItem>().SingleOrDefault();
                    // do something with the item
            }

    HTH,
