Disable the whole Context Menu - wpf

Question

I know there is a way to block or now show context menu by using ContextMenuOpening event.
But I still want to show the context menu, just disable everything in it, is there a way to do it?
How can I disable all the menu item at a same time?
<DataTemplate x:Key="ItemDataTemplate">
<Grid Background="Transparent">
<Grid.ContextMenu>
<ContextMenu>
<MenuItem Header="New" Click="New_Click" />
<Separator />
<MenuItem Header="Duplicate" Click="Duplicate_Click"/>
<MenuItem Header="Delete" Click="Delete_Click" />
<MenuItem Header="Rename" Click="Rename_Click" />
<Separator />
<MenuItem Header="Export..." Click="Export_Click" />
<MenuItem Header="Print..."
Command="ApplicationCommands.Print"
InputGestureText="" />
<Separator />
<MenuItem Header="Properties" Click="Properties_Click" />
</ContextMenu>
</Grid.ContextMenu>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"
Margin="0,0,10,0"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
Background="Transparent"
IsHitTestVisible="False">
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>

Answer 1

<Style x:Key="z3r0_Style_TextBox_Default" BasedOn="{x:Null}"
TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="11"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource z3r0_SolidColorBrush_DarkerGray}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{x:Null}"/>
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Consolas"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource z3r0_SolidColorBrush_Green}"/>
<Setter Property="TextWrapping" Value="Wrap"/>
<Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="10"/>
<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{x:Null}"/>
<Setter Property="ContextMenu">
<Setter.Value>
<ContextMenu IsEnabled="False" Visibility="Hidden">
</ContextMenu>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
For me, setting IsEnabled to False still caused a small empty context menu to be visible. After changing its visibility attribute, it was truly disabled.

Answer 2

IsEnabled = false on the ContextMenu?
Edit: As there appear to be closing problems when doing this i would suggest a container style:
<ContextMenu>
<ContextMenu.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="MenuItem">
<Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="False"/>
</Style>
</ContextMenu.ItemContainerStyle>
<MenuItem Header="Test"/>
</ContextMenu>
Of course the actual value can be bound as well but in the container style the context is the individual item, so to bind to the parent context a RelativeSource binding is necessary (unless the data object also has a connection to the parent).

Answer 3

The entire context menu can be disabled at the root of the ContextMenu by setting the IsEnabled property to false; there is no need to loop through each menu item in code.
<ContextMenu IsEnabled="False">
Or
<ContextMenu IsEnabled={Binding Path=SomeModelBooleanProperty}">
This will enable the context menu to be viewed, but all items will be disabled.

Answer 4

I used ContextMenu="{x:Null}" to disable the Context Menu in a TextBox.

Answer 5

Here is how I solve my question.
Still use ContextMenuOpening event. Use a loop.
This why can help me disable certain context menu item in code, but not in XAML.
private void SetContextMenuItemsEnableStatus(object sender)
{
FrameworkElement element = sender as FrameworkElement;
if (element == null)
{
return;
}
ContextMenu contextMenu = element.ContextMenu;
if (contextMenu == null)
return;
//Use this way.
//You can disable every item or certain item in context menu.
foreach (Control item in contextMenu.Items)
{
item.IsEnabled = false;
}
}

Here is how I solve my question.
<ContextMenu x:Key="TreeViewEmptyContextMenu" Width="0" Height="0"/>
