Show software menu programmatically (wp7)

Question

I have wp7 with some buttons on the application bar. When each button is pressed, I change the menu items of the application bar menu. After that, I want to automatically open the menu when I click the application panel button.

But it looks like the SDK is not letting me do this.

Do you know any work?

I thought if it’s impossible above to simulate a click of a user’s finger in the lower right corner of the screen to open the menu. Any ideas on this?

Thanx in advance
