Cómo: Usar un menú contextual personalizado con un control TextBox

En este ejemplo se muestra cómo definir e implementar un menú contextual personalizado sencillo para TextBox.

Definición de un menú contextual personalizado

El siguiente ejemplo de lenguaje XAML define un control TextBox que incluye un menú contextual personalizado.

El menú contextual se define mediante un elemento ContextMenu. El propio menú contextual consta de una serie de elementos MenuItem y elementos Separator. Cada elemento MenuItem define un comando del menú contextual; el atributo Header define el texto para mostrar del comando del menú y el atributo Click especifica un método de controlador para cada elemento de menú. El elemento Separator simplemente hace que se represente una línea de separación entre los elementos de menú anteriores y posteriores.

<TextBox
  Name="cxmTextBox" 
  Grid.Row="1"
  AcceptsReturn="True"
  AcceptsTab="True"
  VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
  TextWrapping="Wrap"
>
  <TextBox.ContextMenu>
    <ContextMenu 
      Name="cxm"
      Opened="CxmOpened"
    >
      <MenuItem 
        Header="Cut"
        Name="cxmItemCut" 
        Click="ClickCut" 
      />
      <MenuItem 
        Header="Copy" 
        Name="cxmItemCopy"
        Click="ClickCopy" 
      />
      <MenuItem 
        Header="Paste"
        Name="cxmItemPaste"
        Click="ClickPaste" 
      />
      <Separator/>
      <MenuItem 
        Header="Select All"
        Name="cxmItemSelectAll"
        Click="ClickSelectAll" 
      />
      <MenuItem 
        Header="Select Current Line"
        Name="cxmItemSelectLine"
        Click="ClickSelectLine" 
      />
      <Separator/>
      <MenuItem 
        Header="Undo Last Action"
        Name="cxmItemUndo"
        Click="ClickUndo" 
      />
      <MenuItem 
        Header="Redo Last Action"
        Name="cxmItemRedo"
        Click="ClickRedo" 
      />
      <Separator/>
      <MenuItem 
        Header="Clear All Text"
        Name="cxmItemClear"
        Click="ClickClear" 
      />
    </ContextMenu>
  </TextBox.ContextMenu>
  This TextBox uses a simple custom context menu.  The context menu can be disabled by checking
  the CheckBox above, which simply sets the TextBox.ContextMenu property to null.
</TextBox>

Implementación de un menú contextual personalizado

En el ejemplo siguiente se muestra el código de implementación de la definición de menú contextual anterior, así como el código que habilita y deshabilita el menú contextual. El evento Opened se usa para habilitar o deshabilitar dinámicamente determinados comandos en función del estado actual de TextBox.

Para restaurar el menú contextual predeterminado, use el método ClearValue para borrar el valor de la propiedad ContextMenu. Para deshabilitar el menú contextual por completo, establezca la propiedad ContextMenu en una referencia nula (Nothing en Visual Basic).

private void MenuChange(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs ags)
{
    RadioButton rb = sender as RadioButton;
    if (rb == null || cxm == null) return;

    switch (rb.Name)
    {
        case "rbCustom":
            cxmTextBox.ContextMenu = cxm;
            break;
        case "rbDefault":
            // Clearing the value of the ContextMenu property
            // restores the default TextBox context menu.
            cxmTextBox.ClearValue(ContextMenuProperty);
            break;
        case "rbDisabled":
            // Setting the ContextMenu propety to
            // null disables the context menu.
            cxmTextBox.ContextMenu = null;
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }
}

void ClickPaste(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs args)     { cxmTextBox.Paste(); }
void ClickCopy(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs args)      { cxmTextBox.Copy(); }
void ClickCut(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs args)       { cxmTextBox.Cut(); }
void ClickSelectAll(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs args) { cxmTextBox.SelectAll(); }
void ClickClear(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs args)     { cxmTextBox.Clear(); }
void ClickUndo(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs args)      { cxmTextBox.Undo(); }
void ClickRedo(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs args)      { cxmTextBox.Redo(); }

void ClickSelectLine(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs args)
{
    int lineIndex = cxmTextBox.GetLineIndexFromCharacterIndex(cxmTextBox.CaretIndex);
    int lineStartingCharIndex = cxmTextBox.GetCharacterIndexFromLineIndex(lineIndex);
    int lineLength = cxmTextBox.GetLineLength(lineIndex);
    cxmTextBox.Select(lineStartingCharIndex, lineLength);
}

void CxmOpened(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs args)
{
    // Only allow copy/cut if something is selected to copy/cut.
    if (cxmTextBox.SelectedText == "")
        cxmItemCopy.IsEnabled = cxmItemCut.IsEnabled = false;
    else
        cxmItemCopy.IsEnabled = cxmItemCut.IsEnabled = true;

    // Only allow paste if there is text on the clipboard to paste.
    if (Clipboard.ContainsText())
        cxmItemPaste.IsEnabled = true;
    else
        cxmItemPaste.IsEnabled = false;
}

    Dim rb As RadioButton = CType(sender, RadioButton)
    If myGrid.Children.Contains(cxmTextBox) Then
        Select Case rb.Name
            Case "rbCustom"
                cxmTextBox.ContextMenu = cxm
            Case "rbDefault"
                'Clearing the value of the ContextMenu property

                'Setting the ContextMenu propety to 
                'null disables the context menu.
                cxmTextBox.ContextMenu = Nothing
        End Select
    Else : Return
