Attributes

Examples

The target of a ContextMenu is its parent. The following examples show how to use the PlacementTarget property to find the parent of a ContextMenu.

ContextMenu cm = (ContextMenu)sender;
target = cm.PlacementTarget;
Dim cm As ContextMenu = CType(sender, ContextMenu)
target = cm.PlacementTarget
ContextMenu cm = (ContextMenu)ContextMenu.ItemsControlFromItemContainer                   ((MenuItem)e.OriginalSource);
UIElement placementTarget = cm.PlacementTarget;
Dim cm As ContextMenu = CType(ContextMenu.ItemsControlFromItemContainer (CType(e.OriginalSource, MenuItem)), ContextMenu)
Dim placementTarget As UIElement = cm.PlacementTarget

Remarks

When the ContextMenu is assigned to the FrameworkElement.ContextMenu or FrameworkContentElement.ContextMenu property, the ContextMenuService changes this value of this property to the owning FrameworkElement or FrameworkContentElement when the ContextMenu opens. To use a different UIElement, set the ContextMenuService.PlacementTarget property.
