Get owner of context menu in code

Question

I have a ContextMenu like this:

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
    <StackPanel.ContextMenu>
        <ContextMenu>
            <MenuItem Header="Delete" Click="OnDeleteClicked" />
        </ContextMenu>
    </StackPanel.ContextMenu>
</StackPanel>

And I need to get the instance of the StackPanel that owns that ContextMenu. I already tried this:

private void OnDeleteClicked(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    FrameworkElement parent = e.OriginalSource as FrameworkElement;

    while (!(parent is StackPanel))
    {               
        parent = (FrameworkElement)LogicalTreeHelper.GetParent(parent);
    }
}

But after getting the ContextMenu Popup parent, it gets null, same with the VisualTreeHelper, it gets to null before getting the StackPanel. Any idea on how to do this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

this will give you the exact thing you want

private void OnDeleteClicked(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    MenuItem mnu = sender as MenuItem;
    StackPanel sp = null;
    if(mnu!=null)
    {
        sp = ((ContextMenu)mnu.Parent).PlacementTarget as StackPanel;
    }
}

Hope this helps!!
