Question

im quite new in vb programming..

i have this code snippet in my Form.xaml

<MenuItem Name="testItem" Background="Gray" Width="37" >
    <MenuItem.Icon>
        <Image Source="Image\test.png"  Width="35" Height="35"/>
    </MenuItem.Icon>
</MenuItem>

and in my Form.xaml.vb how do I access testItem’s Background? I did something like

testItem.Background = Colors.Blue

but it doesnt work..

Answer 1

The Background property of the Menu expects a Brush, not a Color. You could use a SolidColorBrush like this:

testItem.Background = New SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red)
