I would like to remove the first column (used for icon) and third column (used for shortcut key) of a WPF Menu control (as shown in image 1 below). I have tried using following hack, and it does hide the first and third columns (as shown in image 2 below). But I want to properly remove these two columns using some sort of editing template or so.
My hacked XAML to hide first and third columns:
<Menu DockPanel.Dock="Top">
<MenuItem Header="_File">
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel Margin="-31,0,-18,0"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<MenuItem Header="_New" />
</MenuItem>
</Menu>
Display of the image1 (without hack) and image 2 with hack:
I have tried to edit the menuitem template in VS2019 Blend. But in the property window on the right (shown in image 3 below) of Blend, I am not sure as to what I need to do there to remove these columns. And when I right click on the MenuItem on the left in the Blend, and click on Edit Template, I get a XAML copy of MainWidndow.xaml file (
shown below) with ControlTemplates and styles etc. I am not sure what I need to modify in that xaml template to remove these two columns. Maybe someone with better knowledge can help.
Screenshot of Design view of MainWindow.xaml inside VS2019 Blend:

You'll find the default templates on GitHub.
I'm talking about this.
I've tried messing around with the templates but can't figure it out.
This is my XAML so far.
<Border BorderThickness="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="30" Margin="3,30,0,0" Background="#242424" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="660">
<Menu HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="27" VerticalAlignment="Top" FontFamily="Segoe UI" Width="645" Background="#FF242424" Margin="10,3,0,0">
<MenuItem Header="File" FontSize="14" Padding="2" Foreground="White">
<MenuItem Header="Save" BorderThickness="0" Background="#2d2d2d" Foreground="White"/>
<MenuItem Header="Open" BorderThickness="0" Background="#2d2d2d" Foreground="White"/>
</MenuItem>
</Menu>
</Border>
In order to remove the border, you have to edit the control template, which contains a Border.
<Border x:Name="SubMenuBorder" Background="{StaticResource Menu.Static.Background}" BorderThickness="0" BorderBrush="{StaticResource Menu.Static.Border}" Padding="2">
The border that you notice is actually caused by the hard-coded BorderThicknessand the Padding.
<Border x:Name="SubMenuBorder" Background="{StaticResource Menu.Static.Background}">
If you remove those for the top level header template and submenu header template in the default style for MenuItem (see code below), the visible border is gone as you can see below.
You can extract the default styles and templates for MenuItem using Blend or Visual Studio. Then you only have to adapt the lines above. This is the adapted XAML code for the styles and templates:
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Menu.Static.Background" Color="#FFF0F0F0"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Menu.Static.Border" Color="#FF999999"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Menu.Static.Foreground" Color="#FF212121"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Menu.Static.Separator" Color="#FFD7D7D7"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Menu.Disabled.Foreground" Color="#FF707070"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="MenuItem.Selected.Background" Color="#3D26A0DA"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="MenuItem.Selected.Border" Color="#FF26A0DA"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="MenuItem.Highlight.Background" Color="#3D26A0DA"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="MenuItem.Highlight.Border" Color="#FF26A0DA"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="MenuItem.Highlight.Disabled.Background" Color="#0A000000"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="MenuItem.Highlight.Disabled.Border" Color="#21000000"/>

Copy the code to a resource dictionary in scope. The style for MenuItem is implicit, so it is automatically applied to all MenuItems in scope. If you want to apply this style only selectively, add an x:Key to make it explicit and reference it via the StaticResource or DynamicResource markup extensions.
Of course, you could roll your own custom menu item style using guidance from the documentation on styles and templates for MenuItem that features required states and parts, but that is a complex task and prone to errors, so it is way easier to copy and adapt the default styles.
The border is declared in the ControlTemplate of the Menu control. See the official documentation for applying a custom style.
I am developing wpf application.In that I need to plot a real time graph on clicking a button.
I tried writing this.MyModel.InvalidatePlot(true); in click().
Here is the code which I tried.

I am expecting to update the datacontext after adding series. Please Suggest the solution for this.
You are mixing too many ideas here. If you are using PlotView and also have the Model defined with the required series, all you would need to do is to Bind the model.
<Grid>
<oxy:PlotView x:Name="Plot1" Model="{Binding MyModel}" Margin="8,11,12,97" />
</Grid>
Since your Model already has the details for the plotting the Line Series, It would plot the Line Series by itself.
I almost have my menu item visual style the way I want it, but I cannot figure out how to hide the verticle line that used to seperate what used to be the icon column and the text column.
I am aware and have seen many other questions and answers that are trying to remove the icon COLUMN but other similar questions and answers I have found here either dont remove this line just the icon column and end up with the same result, or set the menu items background to cover it up (which I would like to avoid).
You can just barely make it out here running between the "s" and the "t" in my Test Menu Item:
My style and template thus far are as you would probibly expect it to look:

Your problem is most likely in that you apply your style not to all MenuItems. For example, suppose you have:
<Menu>
<MenuItem Header="Top item"
Background="White">
<MenuItem Header="Sub Menu Item"
Background="White"
Style="{StaticResource MenuItemStyle1}" />
</MenuItem>
</Menu>
With such layout you will observe problem you describe with "Sub Menu Item". That is because it is placed inside Popup defined by template of parent item, and parent item has default template.
If you change it so that parent item also has your style:
<Menu>
<MenuItem Header="Top item"
Background="White"
Style="{StaticResource MenuItemStyle1}">
<MenuItem Header="Sub Menu Item"
Background="White"
Style="{StaticResource MenuItemStyle1}" />
</MenuItem>
</Menu>
Problem disappears.
I have added a default menu control to my user control. I need to style the menu to remove the left margin containing the space for the icon or checkbox. How can I do this?
XAML:
<Menu>
<MenuItem Header="MyMenu" FontSize="10">
<MenuItem Header="Options..." />
<MenuItem Header="About" />
</MenuItem>
</Menu>
It currently renders like any other Menu control out of the box:
I don't want the margin or column to the left of the menu items. This is typically used for icons etc.
I think this is what you're after (again, got around to it using Expression Blend, but its the most minimalist I could get in terms of what it displays...and it took a lot of playing around with)...you can just drop the following in a blank WPF application as an example:

Simpal and Sort way is below:
Create an ItemsPanelTemplate resource
<ItemsPanelTemplate x:Key="MenuItemPanelTemplate">
<StackPanel Background="White"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
Add below MenuItem style to resources and you are done.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
<Setter Property="ItemsPanel" Value="{StaticResource MenuItemPanelTemplate}"/>
</Style>
To apply same Style to a ContextMenu, you need to create one more Style as following-
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ContextMenu}">
<Setter Property="ItemsPanel" Value="{StaticResource MenuItemPanelTemplate}"/>
</Style>
also above of that for context menu you have to add
<ContextMenu ItemsSource="{Binding MyItems}" >
<ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Margin="-20,0,-40,0" Text="{Binding Name}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>
</ContextMenu>
so it will override icon space and show case textblock.It is the simple and most easy solution.
It's not very straight forward, but you need to create a MenuItemStyle, easiest through Expression Blend:
<Menu>
<MenuItem Header="MyMenu" Style="{DynamicResource MenuItemStyle1}">
<MenuItem Header="Options..." />
<MenuItem Header="About" />
</MenuItem>
</Menu>
It creates an extremely verbose set of templates and styles, and you need to edit the menu item to remove the fixed width first column of the grid, then in the SubMenuBorder ContentControl template, remove the rectangles which form the background shading. I've attached a sample project with margins removed.
Download sample project here.
Two options here:
Short, simple and straight forward. Set ItemsPanelTemplate for MenuItem or ContextMenu, depending what kind of menu you are using (see details).
Radical. Rewrite Menu style from scratch. There are two ready to use styles:
XAML-style of Menu from MahApps.Metro (ordinary Menu and ContextMenu)
Jeff Wilcox's style which inspired the previous one from MahApps (link)
My simple way is to use a negative margin for the Grid in the ItemTemplate
<ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid Margin="-20,0,-40,0"><!--this part is important-->
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="20"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="1*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding Ident}"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Description}"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>
see full answer here
I was working with WPF Notifyicon (hardcodet) and removed the icon section of the menu with this code:
<Window ...>
<Window.Resources>
<ItemsPanelTemplate x:Key="MenuTPL">
<StackPanel Margin="-30,0,0,0" Background="White"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
...
<ContextMenu>
<ContextMenu.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ContextMenu}">
<Setter Property="ItemsPanel" Value="{StaticResource MenuTPL}"/>
</Style>
</ContextMenu.Style>
<MenuItem Header="Exit" Click="Exit_MenuItemClick"/>
</ContextMenu>
...
</Grid>
</Window>
To remove the space and never use icons you have to change the template of MenuItem.SubmenuItemTemplateKey or the template of MenuItem.
If you just need to get read of the vertical line and keep using the icons space folow this answare.
Windows with grid has my CustomContextMenu.xaml as grid resource:
<Window ...>
<Grid>
<Grid.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary Source="CustomContextMenu.xaml"/>
</Grid.Resources>
<Grid.ContextMenu>
<ContextMenu>
<MenuItem Header="Menu item 1" >
<MenuItem Header="Menu item 2" >
<MenuItem.Icon>
<Image Source="icon.jpg"/>
</MenuItem.Icon>
</MenuItem>
</MenuItem>
<Separator Style="{StaticResource MySeparatorStyle}" />
<MenuItem IsEnabled="False" Header="Menu item 3" />
</ContextMenu>
</Grid.ContextMenu>
<TextBlock>test</TextBlock>
</Grid>
</Window>
Here is my CustomContextMenu.xaml that has a CustomSeparatorStyle template to extend the separation line to the left margin of the context menu. And a ContextMenu template to hide the vertical line.
<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<!-- Outer menu -->
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ContextMenu}">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="MaxWidth" Value="295" />
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ContextMenu}">
<!-- Here is where you change the border thickness to zero on the menu -->
<Border
x:Name="Border"
Background="#CCCCC7"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
BorderThickness="1"
CornerRadius="0">
<Border.Effect>
<DropShadowEffect
Direction="135"
Opacity=".8"
ShadowDepth="2"
Color="Black" />
</Border.Effect>
<StackPanel
ClipToBounds="True"
IsItemsHost="True"
Orientation="Vertical" />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
<Setter TargetName="Border" Property="Background" Value="#F7F7F4" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<!-- Separator -->
<Style x:Key="CustomSeparatorStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Separator}">
<Setter Property="Height" Value="1" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="-30,5,0,5" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#F7F7F4" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Separator}">
<Border BorderBrush="#DADAD6" BorderThickness="1" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</ResourceDictionary>
The right side menu is created with the code above. You can notice the difference in size and shadow. In order to keep the shadow of the original menu you have to exclude the Border.Effect
Use a RadMenuGroupItem.
RadMenuGroupItem inherits from RadMenuItem class and it is used as container of a RadMenuItem dropdown. In other words any UI element can be placed inside of RadMenuGroupItem. By default the background color of RadMenuGroupItem is White and there is no Icon area with different color unlike RadMenuItem, so you can easily use different sized Icons in the dropdown. In addition to this RadMenuGroupItem also has a Header property which is displayed on the top of all the group items.
<telerik:RadMenu VerticalAlignment="Top">
<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Shapes" />
<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Sizes">
<telerik:RadMenuGroupItem Header="Header">
<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Small" IconTemplate="{StaticResource IconTemplate}" IconColumnWidth="35" Height="35" />
<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Medium" IconTemplate="{StaticResource IconTemplate}" IconColumnWidth="45" Height="45" />
<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Large" IconTemplate="{StaticResource IconTemplate}" IconColumnWidth="55" Height="55" />
</telerik:RadMenuGroupItem>
</telerik:RadMenuItem>
And this is the result:
Thanks for succesfull idea. For .net Framework 4.5 and VS 2012 I wrote for ContextMenu and MenuItem accordingly:
private const double ICON_SIZE = 32;
void ContextMenu_Loaded(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (_pointerControl.ContextMenu.Template != null)
{
System.Windows.Shapes.Rectangle r1 = _pointerControl.ContextMenu.Template.FindName("3_T", _pointerControl.ContextMenu) as System.Windows.Shapes.Rectangle;
System.Windows.Shapes.Rectangle r2 = _pointerControl.ContextMenu.Template.FindName("4_T", _pointerControl.ContextMenu) as System.Windows.Shapes.Rectangle;
System.Windows.Shapes.Rectangle r3 = _pointerControl.ContextMenu.Template.FindName("5_T", _pointerControl.ContextMenu) as System.Windows.Shapes.Rectangle;
double width = Math.Max(28, ICON_SIZE+14);
r1.Width = width;
r2.Margin = new System.Windows.Thickness(width + 1, 2, 0, 2);
r3.Margin = new System.Windows.Thickness(width + 2, 2, 0, 2);
}
}
void mi_Loaded(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
{
System.Windows.Controls.MenuItem mi = sender as System.Windows.Controls.MenuItem;
if (mi != null && mi.Template != null)
{
System.Windows.Controls.ContentPresenter cp = mi.Template.FindName("Icon", mi) as System.Windows.Controls.ContentPresenter;
cp.Height = ICON_SIZE + 6;
cp.Width = ICON_SIZE + 6;
}
}
