Style for dynamically generated RadMenuItems

[Barry]

I have a RadMenu that I need some of the drop downs to have icons, and others to have no icons. I have made two styles, one for each, and it seems to work rather well (mostly) for static menu items, but I have some items that are generated dynamically and I can't figure out how to set the "no-icon" style on those items.

By "no-icon" I mean no icon column at all. Below is the code for the sub items that I need to set the style on. The only thing that I can think of is that the generated ones have an icon column because they are sub menu items and I believe if they had children themselves they wouldn't have an icon column. If that's the case, what is the best way to make the styles so I can control which ones have an icon column?

<telerik:RadMenuItem FontSize="10.667"
              FontWeight="Bold"
              Header="Projects"
              Style="{StaticResource RadMenuItemStyle}"
              ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Projects}">
    <i:Interaction.Triggers>
        <i:EventTrigger EventName="Click">
            <i:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding RadMenuItemClickCommand}"
                           CommandParameter="{Binding Path=Projects}"/>
        </i:EventTrigger>
    </i:Interaction.Triggers>
    <telerik:RadMenuItem.ItemTemplate>
        <telerik:HierarchicalDataTemplate>
            <telerik:ContainerBinding.ContainerBindings>
                <telerik:ContainerBindingCollection>
                    <telerik:ContainerBinding PropertyName="IsCurrent"
                                      Binding="{Binding Selected, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
                </telerik:ContainerBindingCollection>
            </telerik:ContainerBinding.ContainerBindings>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}" Foreground="Black" />
        </telerik:HierarchicalDataTemplate>
    </telerik:RadMenuItem.ItemTemplate>
</telerik:RadMenuItem>

I put color backgrounds on everything in the styles and learned the difference between top level headers and items and sub level headers and items. So I added the style to the dynamic items by itemcontainerstyle.

I guess I just didn't know what was a header and what was an item and when.
