Add menu item to tab context menu

[Adam]

Hi, when I right click on tab, I can see default context menu like: Close, Close all, Close all but this etc.

I was wondering, how can I add my custom menu items to the default one?

Hi Adam, 

Thanks for using Syncfusion products. 

You can able to add the custom context menu items while loading the document container. Please find the below code snippet where the new menu item is added with existing items. 

documentContainer.Loaded += DocumentContainer_Loaded; 

 

private void DocumentContainer_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) 

{ 

    DocumentTabControl tabControl = VisualUtils.FindDescendant(sender as Visual, typeof(DocumentTabControl)) as DocumentTabControl; 

    foreach (var item in tabControl.Items) 

    { 

        if (item is TabItemExt) 

        { 

            TabItemExt tabItem = item as TabItemExt; 

            CustomMenuItem menuItem = new CustomMenuItem(); 

            menuItem.Header = "CustomMenuItem"; 

            if (tabItem != null && tabItem.Header.ToString() == "Integration") 

            { 

                tabItem.ContextMenuItems.Add(menuItem); 

            } 

        } 

    } 

} 

Please find the sample from below location for your reference.

It doesn't work the way I thought.

Menu is created only for statically created tabs in XAML.

But I create also tabs dynamically in code, and those tabs don't get it my custom menu.

This is how I create the tabs:

DocumentControl dc = new DocumentControl(viewModel.Localizer);
dc.DataContext = docViewModel;
docContainer.Items.Add(dc);
DocumentContainer.SetHeader(dc, docViewModel.Document);

And now the question is - how to apply my custom menu to dynamically created tabs?

OK, with your code I was able to resolve this:

DocumentControl dc = new DocumentControl(viewModel.Localizer);
dc.DataContext = docViewModel;
docContainer.Items.Add(dc);
DocumentContainer.SetHeader(dc, docViewModel.Document);

AddMenusToDocumentTab(tabControl.Items[tabControl.Items.Count -1] as TabItemExt);

You just have to make sure that you add your tabs at the end of the list.
And AddMenus... is simple as:

CustomMenuItem result = new CustomMenuItem();
result.Header = name;
result.Command = cmdToExecute;

tabItem.ContextMenuItems.Add(result);
