Examples
The following example assigns the same ContextMenu to two buttons and sets the HasDropShadow, Placement, PlacementRectangle, HorizontalOffset, and VerticalOffset properties to set the ContextMenu to different positions for each button.
<StackPanel>
<StackPanel.Resources>
<ContextMenu x:Key="myContextMenu">
<MenuItem Header="Item"/>
</ContextMenu>
</StackPanel.Resources>
<!--Both buttons use the same ContextMenu but use the
properties on ContextMenuService to position them
differently.-->
<Button ContextMenu="{StaticResource myContextMenu}"
ContextMenuService.HasDropShadow="False"
ContextMenuService.Placement="Relative"
ContextMenuService.HorizontalOffset="50"
ContextMenuService.VerticalOffset="-10">
button 1
</Button>
<Button ContextMenu="{StaticResource myContextMenu}"
ContextMenuService.HasDropShadow="True"
ContextMenuService.Placement="Right"
ContextMenuService.PlacementRectangle="0,0,30,30">
button 2
</Button>
</StackPanel>
Remarks
You can position a ContextMenu by setting the PlacementTarget, PlacementRectangle, Placement, HorizontalOffset, and VerticalOffsetProperty properties. These properties behave the same as they do for a Popup. For more information, see Popup Placement Behavior.
