Remarks

To use UXContextMenu, you create a UXContextMenu anywhere in your page along with some items such as shown in the following code example.

XAML
Copy Code 
<Intersoft:UXContextMenu x:Name="ContextMenu1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top">
    <Intersoft:UXMenuItem Header="UXMenuItem1"/>
    <Intersoft:UXMenuItem Header="UXMenuItem2"/>
    <Intersoft:UXMenuItem Header="UXMenuItem3"/>
    <Intersoft:UXSeparator/>
    <Intersoft:UXMenuItem Header="About MyApplication v1.0"/>
</Intersoft:UXContextMenu>

To attach the UXContextMenu to an element or control, you attach the ContextMenuService.ContextMenu or ContextMenuService.ContextMenuName property to the desired element, and specify the instance or name of the target context menu.

The following code example shows how to attach the context menu to your root element.

XAML
Copy Code 
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White" Intersoft:ContextMenuService.ContextMenu="{Binding ElementName=ContextMenu1}">
    <Intersoft:UXContextMenu x:Name="ContextMenu1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top">
        <Intersoft:UXMenuItem Header="UXMenuItem1"/>
        <Intersoft:UXMenuItem Header="UXMenuItem2"/>
        <Intersoft:UXMenuItem Header="UXMenuItem3"/>
        <Intersoft:UXSeparator/>
        <Intersoft:UXMenuItem Header="About MyApplication v1.0"/>
    </Intersoft:UXContextMenu>
</Grid>

Beside attaching to an element, you can also attach the context menu to Silverlight or WPF controls such as a Button, which is shown in the following example.

XAML
Copy Code 
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
    <Intersoft:UXContextMenu x:Name="ContextMenu1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top">
        <Intersoft:UXMenuItem Header="UXMenuItem1"/>
        <Intersoft:UXMenuItem Header="UXMenuItem2"/>
        <Intersoft:UXMenuItem Header="UXMenuItem3"/>
        <Intersoft:UXSeparator/>
        <Intersoft:UXMenuItem Header="About MyApplication v1.0"/>
    </Intersoft:UXContextMenu>

    <Button Content="Right Click on this Button" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Intersoft:ContextMenuService.ContextMenu="{Binding ElementName=ContextMenu1}"/>
</Grid>

Try right clicking at the button and compare it with the previous example.
