Binding DropDown Items

[Vladimir Culum]

Hello,

I am using DropDownButtonAdv in my View. I made one ViewModel per View, and other bindings on View is working.
How to bind items to the DropDownButtonAdv.

Binding needs to have Header, Command and CommandParameter.

I have class of BtnItem (Header string, Command ICommand, CommandParameter string) that is populating from db.

On my ViewModel, I have ObservableCollection<BtnItem> ItemsCollection that I want to bind.

My Collection is filling, but I can not bind items in xaml.

I try with Style

<syncfusion:DropDownMenuGroup ItemsSource="{Binding ItemsCollection}">
                    <syncfusion:DropDownMenuGroup.ItemContainerStyle>
                        <Style TargetType="{x:Type syncfusion:DropDownMenuItem}">
                            <Setter Property="syncfusion:DropDownMenuItem.Header" Value="{Binding ItemsCollection.Header}" />
...


I am getting error that {"A style intended for type 'DropDownMenuItem' cannot be applied to type 'ContentPresenter'."}

Can somebody help me with this issue that I have?

Thank You,
Vladimir

Hi Vladimir,

Thank you for using Syncfusion Products,

Query#1: How to bind items to the DropDownButtonAdv.

We have prepared a simple sample that tries to meet your requirement. In our sample, we bind the item and apply the Itemtemplate for DropDownButtonAdv, to bind it. Please download the sample from the following attachment.

Query#2: I am getting error that {"A style intended for type 'DropDownMenuItem' cannot be applied to type 'ContentPresenter'."}

Since, our DropDownMenuGroup not only accepts the Menuitems but also the Button,TextBlock as a child, you have to apply the ItemContainerStyle by setting its TargetType as ContentPresenter. You can edit the controltemplate of ContentPresenter as per your desire to apply the style to the DropDownMenuItems.
