  Hello!
  
  I'm creating menu using DataBing. For some reason RadMenuItem is wrapped with other menu item. Here is how my XAML looks like:

  
  

          <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem ItemsSource="{Binding SupportedThemes}" >

  ........

            <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem.ItemTemplate>

              <DataTemplate>

                <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem

                  Header="{Binding DisplayName}"

                  Command="{Binding ChangeThemeCommand}"

                  CommandParameter="{Binding}"

                />

              </DataTemplate>

            </telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem.ItemTemplate>

  
  What needs to be done order to get menu item look like static menu items? Is something special need to be added to templated?
  
  I would like to pay your attention that suggested solution need to work in WPF.

  Hi Licensing,
  
  When you set a RadMenuItem inside the ItemTemplate of RadMenu, the result will be nested RadMenuItems. Since your ItemTemplate is in fact the content template of the RadMenuItem, you need to include only elements that are part of the content of the RadMenuItem.
  
  My supposition is that you wish to assign a different command to each RadMenuItem. If this is the case, then you do not need the ItemTemplate.
  
  Please check the RadContextMenu FirstLook example. It contains the approach for realizing this goal. Although the example refers to RadContextMenu, the same is valid for RadMenu. Please, take into consideration the way commands are assigned to each RadMenuItem:
  
  

  <telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>

              <local:ExtendedContextMenu x:Name="contextMenu">

                  <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="{Binding Menu.ClickedListBoxItem, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Converter={StaticResource HeaderTitleConverter}, ConverterParameter=EnableState}" Command="{Binding EnableCommand}" CommandParameter="{Binding Menu.ClickedListBoxItem, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" />

                  <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="{Binding Menu.ClickedListBoxItem, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Converter={StaticResource HeaderTitleConverter}, ConverterParameter=ZoomState}" Command="{Binding ZoomCommand}" CommandParameter="{Binding Menu.ClickedListBoxItem, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" />

                  <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="{Binding CountryHeader}" Command="{Binding MapCountryCommand}" CommandParameter="{Binding Menu.ClickedListBoxItem, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" />

              </local:ExtendedContextMenu>

          </telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>

  
  I hope this will be helpful in yoru scenario. If you have further questions, please let me know.
  
  All the best,
