Hello I’m developing a WPF Desktop application using MVVM and I’ll like for my navigation module implement a menu like this one:

http://patterntap.com/tap/pattern/11543732834cb8a7ee18a51

I’m thinking to use a Menu control and change its appearance, but I don’t know if I can apply this style to another control in a simpler fashion, also as I’m using MVVM I need a control that allows command binding.

Instead of using a traditional menu, is there another control that I could use to accomplish the same results?

Thanks and regards from Colombia!!!

    I would agree with Henk. You could make a custom UserControl. The StackPanel with Orientation="Horizontal" part for the menu item names and custom ComboBoxes would be the easy bit. The tricker bit would be adjusting the default ComboBox ControlTemplate to your liking.

    Here is a link to the deafult ControlTemplate for the ComboBox and an example… http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms752094(v=vs.85).aspx

    I think it looks like the menu you like might have two ListBoxes in each drop down, but you could bind to their ItemsControl properties. Happy tweaking.
