Dynamic Menu in WPF

In this document we are discussing about how to generate WPF menu dynamically in visual studio 2012.

Step 1: Create New Project.



Step 2: Add Menu Control to The grid.



Step 3: Include “System.Windows.Controls” in the project.

• Create object for Menuitem.
• Edit the properties of MenuItem.
• Add Menu item to the Main Menu.
  

  MenuItem mnuInvoices = new MenuItem();
  
  mnuInvoices.Header = "Invoice";
  
  mnuInvoices.Height = 50;
  
  this.mnuMain.Items.Add(mnuInvoices);

Step 4: Create Sub Menu

• Create object for Menuitem.
• Edit the properties of MenuItem.
• And add the submenu object to the corresponding MenuItem.
  

  MenuItem mnuInvoices = new MenuItem();
  
  mnuInvoices.Header = "Invoice";
  
  mnuInvoices.Height = 50;
  
  this.mnuMain.Items.Add(mnuInvoices);
  
  if (ObjUsr.UserTypeid == 1)
  
  {
  
        MenuItem mnuDeleteInvoice = new MenuItem();
  
        mnuDeleteInvoice.Header = "Delete Invoice";
  
        mnuDeleteInvoice.Height = 50;
  
        mnuInvoices.Items.Add(mnuDeleteInvoice);
  
        MenuItem mnuInvoiceStatus = new MenuItem();
  
        mnuInvoiceStatus.Header = "Invoice Status";
  
        mnuInvoiceStatus.Height = 50;
  
        mnuInvoices.Items.Add(mnuInvoiceStatus);
  
  }
  
  else
  
  {
  
        MenuItem mnuInvoiceStatus = new MenuItem();
  
        mnuInvoiceStatus.Header = "Invoice Status";
  
        mnuInvoiceStatus.Height = 50;
  
        mnuInvoices.Items.Add(mnuInvoiceStatus);
  
  }
