Menu open and close event

Question

I want to handle the event when a menu submenu opens. The same for closing. How can i do this?

Answer 1

Very easy. Sign up for the MenuItem SubmenuOpened MenuItem . The traditional way to do this is:

 MidItem.SubmenuOpened += new RoutedEventHandler(MidItem_SubmenuOpened); private void MidItem_SubmenuOpened(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { //Menu Open Logic Here } 

Or a cool dynamic method:

 MidItem.SubmenuOpened += delegate(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { //Menu Open Logic Here }; 

Answer 2

Not sure what you want, but look at these events for ContextMenu and MenuItem :

ContextMenu :

MenuItem :

I think ContextMenuOpening and ContextMenuClosing might be interesting;)
