Question

How is it possible to create a vertical menu on the left side of the window in Visual Studio (in a wpf) with xaml like the one in http://www.wpftutorial.net/? I try the code:

<Menu DockPanel.Dock="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Background="Gray" BorderBrush="Black">

but it does not the task, since it presents a horizontal menu on the top.

It is not required to be done definitely by the control menu. If any other control with similar appearance is appropriate, it is acceptable.

Answer 1

Sure, just change MenuItem.ItemsPanel to use a Vertical StackPanel instead of the Default Horizontal one

<Menu>
    <Menu.ItemsPanel>
        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
            <VirtualizingStackPanel Orientation="Vertical"/>
        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    </Menu.ItemsPanel>

</Menu>
