Question

I have a menu in wpf that has an input box and a button on it. Once the user clicks the button I need to close the menu.

Is there a way to do this?

    <Menu x:Name='MainMenu'>         <MenuItem Header='Main'>             <MenuItem Header='SubMenu' x:Name='SubMenu'>                 <StackPanel Orientation='Horizontal'>                     <TextBox Width='50' x:Name='TextBox' />                     <Button Content='Click Me and Close' x:Name='Button' IsDefault='True'/>                 </StackPanel>             </MenuItem>         </MenuItem> 

Thanks, Jon

Get hold of the MenuItem and do:

_menuItem.IsSubmenuOpen = false; 

Easy way to get hold of it:

<Button x:Name='_button' Tag='{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type MenuItem}, AncestorLevel=2}'/> 

Code-behind:

_button.Click += delegate {     (_button.Tag as MenuItem).IsSubmenuOpen = false; };
