I was looking for the solution on the internet but was not able to find it within my sample. I need to add a separator between Context menu item that are generated from code behind. I tried to add it with such code lines like below but without success.
this.Commands.Add(new ToolStripSeparator());
I am wondering if someone can help. Thank you in advance.
Context Menu XAML:
<Style x:Key="DataGridCellStyle" TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}">
<Setter Property="ContextMenu">
<Setter.Value>
<ContextMenu ItemsSource="{Binding Commands}">
<ContextMenu.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
<Setter Property="Command" Value="{Binding}" />
<Setter Property="Header" Value="{Binding Path=Text}" />
<Setter Property="CommandParameter" Value="{Binding Path=Parameter}" />
</Style>
</ContextMenu.ItemContainerStyle>
</ContextMenu>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
C# that added in the method:
this.Commands = new ObservableCollection<ICommand>();
this.Commands.Add(MainWindow.AddRole1);
this.Commands.Add(MainWindow.AddRole2);
this.Commands.Add(MainWindow.AddRole3);
this.Commands.Add(MainWindow.AddRole4);
//this.Add(new ToolStripSeparator());
this.Commands.Add(MainWindow.AddRole5);
this.Commands.Add(MainWindow.AddRole6);
this.Commands.Add(MainWindow.AddRole7);
I did this once and used a null
as my separator. From the XAML, I then styled the template to use a separator if the datacontext was null
Code behind:
this.Commands.Add(MainWindow.AddRole4);
this.Add(null);
this.Commands.Add(MainWindow.AddRole5);
XAML was something like this:
<ContextMenu.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
<Setter Property="Command" Value="{Binding}" />
<Setter Property="Header" Value="{Binding Path=Text}" />
<Setter Property="CommandParameter" Value="{Binding Path=Parameter}" />
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding }" Value="{x:Null}">
<Setter Property="Template" Value="{StaticResource MenuSeparatorTemplate}" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ContextMenu.ItemContainerStyle>
Hope I got the syntax right - I don't have an IDE on this machine to verify the code
EDIT
Here is an example template for the context menu separator. I am putting it in ContextMenu.Resources
, although you could put this anywhere you want in your application as long as the ContextMenu can access it.
<ContextMenu.Resources>
<ControlTemplate x:Key="MenuSeparatorTemplate">
<Separator />
</ControlTemplate>
</ContextMenu.Resources>
