Show Parent's Drop Down On Child

[ben]

Is there a way to show the BreadCrumb's parent dropdown menu on selection of the child?

 

For example, let's the example program from the WPF Examples / BreadCrumb Theming, it shows a demo of windows explorer.

Local Disk c:\ -> Personal Folders -> Outbox as a sample breadcrumb path.

By default, if I click on the drop down for 'Personal Folders' I'll get a listing of the child elements, i.e. 'Outbox', 'Drafts', etc.  

Outbox doesn't have a drop down associated with it since it is the last element.

Is it possible to setup the control so there would be a drop down on 'Outbox' and clicking it would show all of the items at that level? 

Thanks!

Hi Ben,

The described behavior is not supported by RadBreadcrumb out of the box. However, you should be able to implement it with custom code. Basically, you can use a DataTemplateSelector for the breadcrumb items appearance and if an item does not have child elements choose a template with a drop down inside of it that displays the other elements.

For your convenience I prepared a sample project demonstrating this approach. Please give it a try and let me know if it works for you.
