I would like to avoid having to build a menu manually in XAML or code, by binding to a list of ICommand
-derived objects. However, I'm experiencing a bit of a problem where the resulting menu has two levels of menu-items (i.e. each MenuItem
is contained in a MenuItem
):
My guess is that this is happening because WPF is automatically generating a MenuItem
for my binding, but the "viewer" I'm using actually already is a MenuItem
(it's derived from MenuItem
):
<ContextMenu
x:Name="selectionContextMenu"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={x:Static OrangeNote:Note.MultiCommands}}"
ItemContainerStyleSelector="{StaticResource separatorStyleSelector}">
<ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Viewers:NoteCommandMenuItemViewer
CommandParameter="{Binding Source={x:Static OrangeNote:App.Screen}, Path=SelectedNotes}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>
</ContextMenu>
(The ItemContainerStyleSelector is from http://bea.stollnitz.com/blog/?p=23, which allows me to have Separator
elements inside my bound source.)
So, the menu is bound to a collection of ICommand
s, and each item's CommandParameter
is set to the same global target (which happens to be a collection, but that's not important).
My question is, is there any way I can bind this such that WPF doesn't automatically wrap each item in a MenuItem
?
