Making a radcontextmenu an application resource

How to add the Rad ContextMenu to Application resource so that it can be used on other windows as well.

Hello Xaria D,

The only possible solution when sharing a visual element among multiple instance is to set x:Shared="false".

<Application x:Class="WpfApplication1.App"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
        StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml">
    <Application.Resources>

        <telerik:RadContextMenu x:Key="contextMenu" x:Shared="false">
            <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="File" />
            <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Open" />
            <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Delete" />
        </telerik:RadContextMenu>

    </Application.Resources>
</Application>

But how can the main window display a  RadContextMenu?

<Window.ContextMenu>

<StaticResource ResourceKey="contextMenu"/>

</Window.ContextMenu>

accepts a ContextMenu, not RadContextMenu, and I cannot use RadWindow as MainWindow.

Hi Xaria D,

The RadContextMenu and the default WPF ContextMenu are two different controls. Check the code bellow that will help you refering the RadContextMenu as a resource:

<Window telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu="{StaticResource contextMenu}" />
