C# WPF - Custom Menu Item Background on Hover

C# WPF - Custom Menu Item Background on Hover - c#

How do I change a custom menu item's background when I hover it? I changed the background property but it doesn't change, it stays the default blue color.
I also tried to change the trigger style on hover, but again, it doesn't help, it gets ignored.
The idea is to hover the menu item and then a custom color should appear instead of the default blue color.
Here is the code:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Menu}" x:Key="TopbarMenu" BasedOn="{StaticResource BaseStyle}">
<Setter Property="WindowChrome.IsHitTestVisibleInChrome" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource WhiteBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
</Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}" x:Key="DropdownMenuButton" BasedOn="{StaticResource BaseStyle}">
<Setter Property="TextOptions.TextFormattingMode" Value="Display"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="6 0 6 0"/>
</Style>
I think it is something connected to templates, but I'm not very competent with templates, and I could be fundamentally wrong and the problem could be something else.

This is the way I'm doing it... works perfectly for me:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}" x:Key="MenuItemTemplate">
<Border x:Name="Border" Padding="10,5,10,5" BorderThickness="0" Margin="0">
<ContentPresenter ContentSource="Header" x:Name="HeaderHost" RecognizesAccessKey="True" />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsHighlighted" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="Border" Value="Blue"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
and use with:
<MenuItem Template="{StaticResource MenuItemTemplate}" Header="test" />

and the usage test:
<Menu HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center">
<MenuItem Header="test" Template="{StaticResource rootMenuItem}">
<MenuItem Header="test" >
<MenuItem Header="test">
<MenuItem Header="test">
<MenuItem Header="test">
<MenuItem Header="test">
<MenuItem Header="test" />
<MenuItem Header="test" />
</MenuItem>
<MenuItem Header="test" />
</MenuItem>
<MenuItem Header="test" />
</MenuItem>
<MenuItem Header="test" />
</MenuItem>
<MenuItem Header="test">
<MenuItem Header="test">
<MenuItem Header="test" />
<MenuItem Header="test" />
</MenuItem>
<MenuItem Header="test">
<MenuItem Header="test">
<MenuItem Header="test" />
<MenuItem Header="test" />
</MenuItem>
<MenuItem Header="test" />
</MenuItem>
</MenuItem>
</MenuItem>
</MenuItem>
<MenuItem Header="test" Template="{StaticResource rootMenuItem}">
<MenuItem Header="test">
<MenuItem Header="test" />
<MenuItem Header="test" />
</MenuItem>
</MenuItem>
</Menu>
Beware, the root-item has another template than the child-items! in this demo it's done with static template binding for the root elements but in a real use case you can do this with a style selector like this:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}" x:Key="{x:Type MenuItem}">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Role" Value="SubmenuHeader">
<Setter Property="Template" Value="{StaticResource {x:Static MenuItem.SubmenuHeaderTemplateKey}}"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="Role" Value="SubmenuItem">
<Setter Property="Template" Value="{StaticResource {x:Static MenuItem.SubmenuItemTemplateKey}}"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
[/EDIT]
[EDIT2]
For the arrow to disappear, you need a StyleSelector as mentioned.
this class has to be implemented assuming yout two styles are named "MenuItemWithChildren" and "MenuItemWithoutChildren"
class ItemStyleSelector : StyleSelector
{
public override Style SelectStyle(object item, DependencyObject container)
{
if(item is MenuItem mItem)
{
if(mItem.Items.Count > 0)
{
return App.Current.Resources["MenuItemWithChildren"] as Style;
}
else
{
return App.Current.Resources["MenuItemWithoutChildren"] as Style;
}
}
return base.SelectStyle(item, container);
}
}
then you have to define two different styles & templates for each of the items, with and without children:
Important: these have to be defined in app.xaml or some resource-dictionary which is linked there, else the ItemStyleSelector class wont find them. E.g. Window.Resources won't be found.
<Style TargetType="MenuItem" x:Key="MenuItemWithChildren">
<Setter Property="ItemContainerStyleSelector" Value="{StaticResource ItemStyleSelector}" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
[Your Template goes here]
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<Style TargetType="MenuItem" x:Key="MenuItemWithoutChildren">
<Setter Property="ItemContainerStyleSelector" Value="{StaticResource ItemStyleSelector}" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
[Your Template goes here]
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
also your Styleselctor itself and a default style for the menuitem
<local:ItemStyleSelector x:Key="ItemStyleSelector" />
<Style TargetType="MenuItem">
<Setter Property="ItemContainerStyleSelector" Value="{StaticResource ItemStyleSelector}" />
</Style>
and declare the selection in the menu:
<Menu ItemContainerStyleSelector="{StaticResource ItemStyleSelector}">
<MenuItem Header="test" Template="{StaticResource rootMenuItem}">
<MenuItem Header="test">
<MenuItem Header="test" />
<MenuItem Header="test" />
</MenuItem>
</MenuItem>
</Menu>

When I click the inner usercontrol's toggle button the popup appears, when I click the outer toggle button the popup appears.
But Once the outer toggle button is clicked. when the inner toggle button is clicked, The popup inside the inner usercontrol is not showing. but the inner toggle button returns true. The toggle button is getting checked when the outer toggle button is clicked both the popup shows simultaneously.
I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Custom ComboBox Style not showing SelectedItem

I am styling a ComboBox, I just copy-paste the default style and changes some stuff already. The problem I have is that the SelectedItem is not being shown.
Maybe a xaml Guru can help me out to find th error.
The combobox will not be editable, so I guess the problem is in the ContentSite but I am not pretty sure how I can make it work.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I have already check that there is a SelectedItem, if I use a normal ComboBox, the item is shown.

Stop combobox from closing

I am using custom control, MultiSelectComboBox that is already placed on code project (https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/563862/Multi-Select-ComboBox-in-WPF). This combobox has checkboxes inside of it. I am trying to achieve following:
When combobox opens, I want to close it by clicking only on Ok/Cancel button. Cancel will close it and none of the checkboxes will be checked. I don't want it to close when I click with my mouse on a window or anywhere else besides Ok/Cancel button.
Here is the part of the code:
<ComboBox x:Name="cmbMultiSelect" Style="{StaticResource MultiSelectComboBoxStyler}">
<ComboBox.ToolTip >
<ToolTip DataContext="{Binding Path=PlacementTarget.Parent, RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.Self}}">
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{Binding Path=Text, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Converter={StaticResource CommmaToNewLineConverter}}"/>
</ToolTip>
</ComboBox.ToolTip>
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox x:Name="cbSelector"
Content="{Binding Title, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
IsChecked="{Binding Path=IsSelected, Mode=TwoWay}"
Tag="{RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ComboBox}}"
Click="cbSelector_OnClick"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
Now, here it my style, MultiSelectComboBoxStyler:

This is how I use custom control in my view:
<controls:MultiSelectComboBox Width="200" Height="30" HorizontalAlignment="Left" DefaultText="All" ItemsSource="{Binding Chains}" SelectedItems="{Binding SelectedChains, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" ShowFilterButtons="True"/>
Although I am pretty new to WPF I was able to understand some things but again this issue is giving me headaches. I am stuck. I know that there is something to do with toggle button but no success in resolve it. I appreciate all the help I can get.

Since you are using multiselectbox control, you should add new dependencyproperty
Also, Popup tag should look like this
IsOpen="{Binding Path=IsChecked, ElementName=ToggleButton}"
While ToggleButton should look like:
IsChecked="{Binding Path=ControlComboBox, Mode=TwoWay,
RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=UserControl},
UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
Command="{Binding PressedCommand}"
And at the end you should use MultiSelectCombBox in this way:
ControlComboBox="{Binding ManageComboBox, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"

Change background color when hover menuitem but can't show submenu in wpf

I'm have some trouble with menuitem in wpf .
I want background color menu item change when i hover it . I was did it . But problem is my submenu in menuitem can't show . Please tell me why and fix it if you can please . Thanks
Here my code
My style code :
<Style x:Key="BaseStyle"
TargetType="MenuItem">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
<Border x:Name="Bd"
Padding="17,0,17,0"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
<ContentPresenter x:Name="ContentPresenter"
Content="{TemplateBinding Header}"
Grid.Column="1"
ContentSource="Header"
RecognizesAccessKey="True" />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsHighlighted"
Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background"
TargetName="Bd"
Value="Yellow" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush"
TargetName="Bd"
Value="#FF26A0DA" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
And here is Menuitem :
<MenuItem Name="menu_file"
Header="File"
Height="30"
Style="{StaticResource BaseStyle}">
<MenuItem Foreground="Black"
Header="New Connection"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Width="178"
Click="Connection_Click"
Margin="0,0,-38,0" />
<MenuItem Foreground="Black"
Header="Save"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Width="140" />
<MenuItem Foreground="Black"
Header="Print"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Width="140" />
<MenuItem Foreground="Black"
Header="Export"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Width="140" />
<Separator Foreground="Black"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Height="1"
Width="140" />
<MenuItem Foreground="Black"
Header="Assesment"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Width="140"
Height="25"
Click="Assesment_Click" />
</MenuItem>

MenuItem has 3 separate Template, one for each Role: TopLevelHeader, TopLevelItem, SubmenuHeader. So you need to customize the particular one you want. In your case that would be the TopLevelHeader.
Template:
<ControlTemplate x:Key="MenuItemControlTemplate2" TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
<Border x:Name="templateRoot" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
<Grid VerticalAlignment="Center">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ContentPresenter x:Name="Icon" Content="{TemplateBinding Icon}" ContentSource="Icon" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Height="16" Margin="3" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="16"/>
<Path x:Name="GlyphPanel" Data="F1M10,1.2L4.7,9.1 4.5,9.1 0,5.2 1.3,3.5 4.3,6.1 8.3,0 10,1.2z" Fill="{TemplateBinding Foreground}" FlowDirection="LeftToRight" Margin="3" Visibility="Collapsed" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
<ContentPresenter ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding HeaderTemplate}" Content="{TemplateBinding Header}" Grid.Column="1" ContentStringFormat="{TemplateBinding HeaderStringFormat}" ContentSource="Header" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" RecognizesAccessKey="True" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"/>
<Popup x:Name="PART_Popup" AllowsTransparency="True" Focusable="False" IsOpen="{Binding IsSubmenuOpen, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" PopupAnimation="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemParameters.MenuPopupAnimationKey}}" Placement="Bottom">
<Border x:Name="SubMenuBorder" BorderBrush="#FF999999" BorderThickness="1" Background="#FFF0F0F0" Padding="2">
<ScrollViewer x:Name="SubMenuScrollViewer" Style="{DynamicResource {ComponentResourceKey ResourceId=MenuScrollViewer, TypeInTargetAssembly={x:Type FrameworkElement}}}">
<Grid RenderOptions.ClearTypeHint="Enabled">
<Canvas HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="0">
<Rectangle x:Name="OpaqueRect" Fill="{Binding Background, ElementName=SubMenuBorder}" Height="{Binding ActualHeight, ElementName=SubMenuBorder}" Width="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=SubMenuBorder}"/>
</Canvas>
<Rectangle Fill="#FFD7D7D7" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="29,2,0,2" Width="1"/>
<ItemsPresenter x:Name="ItemsPresenter" KeyboardNavigation.DirectionalNavigation="Cycle" Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" KeyboardNavigation.TabNavigation="Cycle"/>
</Grid>
</ScrollViewer>
</Border>
</Popup>
</Grid>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsSuspendingPopupAnimation" Value="True">
<Setter Property="PopupAnimation" TargetName="PART_Popup" Value="None"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="Icon" Value="{x:Null}">
<Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="Icon" Value="Collapsed"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="GlyphPanel" Value="Visible"/>
<Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="Icon" Value="Collapsed"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsHighlighted" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="templateRoot" Value="Yellow"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="templateRoot" Value="Red"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter Property="TextElement.Foreground" TargetName="templateRoot" Value="#FF707070"/>
<Setter Property="Fill" TargetName="GlyphPanel" Value="#FF707070"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="CanContentScroll" SourceName="SubMenuScrollViewer" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Canvas.Top" TargetName="OpaqueRect" Value="{Binding VerticalOffset, ElementName=SubMenuScrollViewer}"/>
<Setter Property="Canvas.Left" TargetName="OpaqueRect" Value="{Binding HorizontalOffset, ElementName=SubMenuScrollViewer}"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
And then apply your custom template:
XAML:
<MenuItem Name="menu_file"
Header="File"
Width="150"
Template="{DynamicResource MenuItemControlTemplate2}">
<MenuItem Foreground="Black"
Header="New Connection"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Width="178"
Margin="0,0,-38,0" />
<MenuItem Foreground="Black"
Header="Save"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Width="140" />
<MenuItem Foreground="Black"
Header="Print"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Width="140" />
<MenuItem Foreground="Black"
Header="Export"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Width="140" />
<Separator Foreground="Black"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Height="1"
Width="140" />
<MenuItem Foreground="Black"
Header="Assesment"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Width="140"
Height="25"/>
</MenuItem>

Change the Menu background when clicked in WPF

I'm using the below code to style a Menu. I have been able to change the background when the Mouse is Over the menu. But I don't know how to change its Background when it is clicked.
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication11.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

<MenuItem Header="_File">
<MenuItem Header="_New"/>
<MenuItem Header="_Open"/>
<MenuItem Header="_Close"/>
</MenuItem>
</Menu>
</Grid>
</Window>
Update:
I have tried the following code but it didn't work either.
<Trigger Property="IsFocused" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="MainMenu" Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource ClickedColor}"/>
</Trigger

You could try using IsKeyboardFocusWithin.
<Trigger Property="IsKeyboardFocusWithin" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="MainMenu" Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource ClickedColor}"/>
</Trigger>
Here is your code with the IsKeyboardFocusWithin trigger added. I changed the ClickedColor to Purple so it is easier to see. I added Name="mm" to your menu. I added a stack panel with textblocks bound to mm.IsFocused and mm.IsKeyboardFocusWithin so you can visually see what they are set to and when it changes.

You just need to add an event handler to the Menu.PreviewMouseDown event and change the Background there. Try this:
<Menu Width="30" Height="20" Margin="10, 10, 5, 5" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Background="White" PreviewMouseDown="Menu_PreviewMouseDown">
<MenuItem Header="_File">
<MenuItem Header="_New"/>
<MenuItem Header="_Open"/>
<MenuItem Header="_Close"/>
</MenuItem>
</Menu>
...
private void Menu_PreviewMouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
Menu menu = (Menu)sender;
menu.Background = Brushes.DarkGray;
}
If you just want it to change colour while the mouse button is held down, then you could attach a handler to the MenuItem.PreviewMouseUp event to change it back to White.
UPDATE >>>
You can add a handler to the MouseLeave event to change the Backgroundback when the mouse cursor leaves the bounds of theMenu`. Try this:
<Menu Width="30" Height="20" Margin="10, 10, 5, 5" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Background="White" PreviewMouseDown="Menu_PreviewMouseDown"
MouseLeave="Menu_MouseLeave">
<MenuItem Header="_File">
<MenuItem Header="_New"/>
<MenuItem Header="_Open"/>
<MenuItem Header="_Close"/>
</MenuItem>
</Menu>
...
private void Menu_MouseLeave(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
Menu menu = (Menu)sender;
menu.Background = Brushes.White;
}

You can rework the Template for the MenuItem (not the Menu). To reproduce what I did:
Select a MenuItem in XAML
Right click it in the designer.
Select 'Edit Template'
Select 'Edit a Copy'
Edit the 'MenuItem.Highlight.Background' SolidColorBrush to a new color of your choosing. (I chose 'Red')
Remove the Key from the style for the MenuItem.
You will end up with the following resources if you start from scratch:

This looks daunting, but you are basically telling the MenuItem to use another Template other than the one defined in the theme. Personally, I avoid doing such things, as it breaks the themes across the various Windows versions. By doing this, the Menu will look the same on XP, Vista & 8.
You will likely be able to optimize this quite a bit. But I at least recommend you put it in a separate ResourceDictionary.
