  Hi Paolo,
  
  There are four types of RadMenuItems and a control template for each of them - TopLevelHeaderTemplate, TopLevelItemTemplate, SubMenuHeaderTemplate, SubMenuitemTemplate. You can get the whole style of the RadMenu from your installation folder, for example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls for WPF Q3 2011\Themes\Transparent\Themes\Transparent\Menu.xaml
  
  Hope this helps.
  
  Best wishes,

  Hello Konstantina,I've got the following item in my ViewModel :
  
  

  public class MenuItemObject : Screen//, ICollection<MenuItemObject>

     {

         public int ID { get; set; }

         public string Descrizione { get; set; }

         public string Tag { get; set; }

         public List<MenuItemObject> Items { get; set; }

   

         public MenuItemObject()

         {

             Items = new List<MenuItemObject>();

         }

     }

  
  If I've no child item I can see them in my Caliburn Micro pattern Menu.... if there're I can't... it's possible to have an MVVM pattern example? should I need to define an ItemTemplateSelector and based on the presence of child item show a type instead of another?
  Thanks
  Paolo

  Hello Paolo,
  
  You do not need to use a selector and manually apply an item template depending on whether your MenuItem has submenu items or not. RadMenu takes care of this automatically.
  
  If you need to use only the default template for RadMenuItem, you can copy the SubMenuItemTemplate and customize it per your requirements.
  
  If your menu ever includes hierarchical items, you will need all four templates for your changes to get applied. I suggest that you use the implicit RadMenuItem style found in the suggested location on your machine and apply it as an ItemContainerStyle including all four templates that it has a reference to.
  
  Hope this helps.
  
  All the best,
