Selecting a specific menu item from a context menu

Question

I am working on a C# WPF application. I have a context menu appear on a textbook using Infragistics library. I want to be able to use my keyboard to scroll through the options and select one of them (by pressing enter key). I can see items being selected on the menu when I scroll through them but I don't know how to get the text in the menu item (like "cp", "high" etc.) when the user hits enter. Doing something like xamMenu.Items.CurrentItem is always returning null.

Answer 1

Do you have code behind, or are the list items bound to a property in your viewmodel?

If the latter: create an additional property SelectedItem of the same type that your list items are, and in the viewmodel :

<ComboBox 
 ItemsSource="{Binding MyViewModel.Items}"
 SelectedItem="{Binding MyViewModel.SelectedItem}"
 ToolTip="some tooltip" 
/>

Then SelectedItem should take the right value.
