# How to: Use a Custom Context Menu with a TextBox
|
|
This example shows how to define and implement a simple custom context menu for a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBox>.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
The following [!INCLUDE[TLA#tla_xaml](../../../includes/tlasharptla-xaml-md.md)] example defines a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBox> control that includes a custom context menu.
|
|
|
|
The context menu is defined using a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ContextMenu> element. The context menu itself consists of a series of <xref:System.Windows.Controls.MenuItem> elements and <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Separator> elements. Each <xref:System.Windows.Controls.MenuItem> element defines a command in the context menu; the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.HeaderedItemsControl.Header%2A> attribute defines the display text for the menu command, and the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.MenuItem.Click> attribute specifies a handler method for each menu item. The <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Separator> element simply causes a separating line to be rendered between the previous and subsequent menu items.

|
|
[!code-xaml[TextBox_ContextMenu#_TextBox_ContextMenuXAML](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/TextBox_ContextMenu/CSharp/Window1.xaml#_textbox_contextmenuxaml)]
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
The following example shows the implementation code for the preceding context menu definition, as well as the code that enables and disables the context menu. The <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ContextMenu.Opened> event is used to dynamically enable or disable certain commands depending on the current state of the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBox>.
|
|
|
|
To restore the default context menu, use the <xref:System.Windows.DependencyObject.ClearValue%2A> method to clear the value of the <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.ContextMenu%2A> property. To disable the context menu altogether, set the <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.ContextMenu%2A> property to a null reference (`Nothing` in Visual Basic).
