Hi Harald Braunstein,

Can you collaborate more on what you want to achieve?
If you want to change the panel in which RadMenuItems are added you can use ItemsPanel property.
Here is sample code demonstrating how to change the ItemsPanel:

    
            <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="File">     
        
               <telerik:RadMenuItem.ItemsPanel>    
        
                  <ItemsPanelTemplate>    
        
                     <core:RadWrapPanel Orientation="Vertical" Height="400"/>     
        
                  </ItemsPanelTemplate>    
        
               </telerik:RadMenuItem.ItemsPanel>    
        
               <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Open"/>     
        
               <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Save"/>     
        
               <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Close"/>     
        
               <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Exit"/>     
        
            </telerik:RadMenuItem>

Well, thats what I already know. I need to deeply modify the item container to contain also other controls, not just items - for example something like this.

    
            <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="A"> 
        
            <StackPanel> 
        
            <MyCustomControl/> 
        
            <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="B"> 
        
            <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="C"> 
        
            <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="D"> 
        
            </StackPanel> 
        
            </telerik:RadMenuItem>

Hi Harald Braunstein,

To put some static content in all RadMenuItems you can modify the control template and put this controls there. But this is a custom case because I guess you will want different controls for different menuItems. This can be done if you set data object as ItemsSource to RadMenu and specify different DataTemplates using RadMenu.ItemTemplateSelector. Using ItemTemplateSelector you will be able to specify different templates for all menu items.

Let me know if you need more information.

All the best,
