When the user right clicks the header or tabheader of a contentpane I'd like to show a context menu. One of the items on the context menu would be to edit the text of the header or tabheader. I created a datatemplate containing a text block and added a context menu to the text block but when I right clicked on the text block the context menu did not appear.

DataTemplate headerTemplate = new DataTemplate();

headerTemplate.DataType = typeof(ContentPane);

FrameworkElementFactory headerTextBlock = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof(TextBlock));

headerTextBlock.SetValue(TextBlock.TextProperty, "My Text");

ContextMenu cm = new System.Windows.Controls.ContextMenu();MenuItem mi = new MenuItem();

mi.Header = "Edit Tab Name"

mi.Command = ...

cm.Items.Add(mi);                          

headerTextBlock.SetValue(TextBlock.ContextMenuProperty, cm);

headerTemplate.VisualTree = headerTextBlock;

headerTemplate.Seal();

e.NewPane.TabHeaderTemplate = headerTemplate;

The above did not work  - the context menu did not appear when the text block was right clicked.

What's the best way to get context menu for the header area?
