Question

When designing a WinForms app in visual studio, you can choose to populate a menu bar with the standard set of File, Save, Help, About, etc. Is there a way to do this in WPF using visual studio?

Answer 1

No you must add the menu items youself in wpf, but it is very easy to do, here is an example:

<Menu IsMainMenu="True">
  <MenuItem Header="_File" />
  <MenuItem Header="_Edit">
    <MenuItem Header="_Cut"/>
    <MenuItem Header="_Copy"/>
    <MenuItem Header="_Paste"/>
  </MenuItem>
  <MenuItem Header="_View" />
  <MenuItem Header="_Window" />
  <MenuItem Header="_Help" />
</Menu>
