PopupMenu Class

A regular popup menu.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Bars

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Core.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Core

#Declaration

public class PopupMenu :
    PopupMenuBase,
    ILinksHolder,
    IMultipleElementRegistratorSupport,
    IBarNameScopeSupport,
    IInputElement,
    ILogicalChildrenContainer

#Remarks

Use the PopupMenu class to create a popup menu. For instance, you can use it to represent a context menu for a control.

Important

If using a PopupMenu instance causes design time exceptions, use the PopupMenuInfo class instead.

To add elements (bar items and bar item links) to a menu, use the PopupMenu.Items collection.

A PopupMenu can be displayed as a drop-down control for a BarSplitButtonItem object. To associate a PopupMenu with the BarSplitButtonItem, assign it to the BarSplitButtonItem.PopupControl property.

#Example

This example shows how to associate a popup menu with a TextBox control via the BarManager.DXContextMenu attached property.
