Silverlight 4: How to find source UI element from contextmenu's menuitem_click?
- by funwithcoding
I have a datagrid and I added silverlight 4 toolkit contextmenu to textbox in datagrid as follows. When users right click on the textbox, contextmenu is being displayed. When users click the menu item with Header "Test", "MenuItem_Click" is getting executed. Now I want to access the textbox from the MenuItem_Click and modify its properties like background etc. Is there anyway to find textbox element(which is contextmenu's parent) from MenuItem_Click event?
It appears to me that I am missing something very simple.
<my:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBox Text="{Binding AcctId}"
Style="{StaticResource documentTextBoxStyle}"
ToolTipService.ToolTip="Right Click to modify parameters" >
<toolkit:ContextMenuService.ContextMenu >
<toolkit:ContextMenu >
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="Test" Click="MenuItem_Click"/>
</toolkit:ContextMenu>
</toolkit:ContextMenuService.ContextMenu>
</TextBox>
</DataTemplate>
