Question

I have a button with a context menu, but I just can get the ContextMenuOpening event to triger.

<Button Name="a_button"
        ContextMenu="{StaticResource MyContextMenu}"
        ContextMenuOpening="MyContextMenu_Opening" >
</Button>

private void MyContextMenu_Opening(object sender, ContextMenuEventArgs e)
{
   // doesnt get here.
}

Any ideas how to make this work ?

Thanks.

I’ve just checked your code and it works perfectly.

Here is my full xaml:

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
    <Window.Resources>
        <ContextMenu x:Key="MyContextMenu">
            <MenuItem Header="Send" />
        </ContextMenu>
    </Window.Resources>
    <Grid>
        <Button Name="a_button"
                ContextMenu="{StaticResource MyContextMenu}"
            ContextMenuOpening="MyContextMenu_Opening" >
        </Button>
    </Grid>
</Window>

And *.cs:

    private void MyContextMenu_Opening(object sender, ContextMenuEventArgs e)
    {

    }
