Remarks

The XamMenu control is used to display a menu in a WPF application. The XamMenu control supports the following features:

• Data binding that allows the control's menu items to be bound to hierarchal data sources.
• Programmatic access to the XamMenu object model to dynamically create menus, populate menu items, set properties, and so on.
• Customizable appearance through styles, and user-defined templates.

XamMenu is a ItemsControl. Its content properties are Items and ItemsSource. You can read more information about ItemsControl in WPF help documentation.

The XamMenu control presents a list of items that specify commands or options for a WPF application. Typically, clicking an item on a menu opens a submenu or causes an application to carry out a command.

An item in a menu can be anything that can be added to an ItemCollection. The XamMenuItem is the most common type of item in a XamMenu. A XamMenuItem can contain child items. The child items will appear in a submenu when the user chooses a parent XamMenuItem.

You can change the menu orientation by MenuOrientation property to either horizontal or vertical. Also you can change how the menu opens its submenus by ExpandOnHover property.
