How to bind items to a menu tool?
posted

I'd like to have a menu tool containing a dynamic list of radio button tools.

I've made a little example to illustrate the problem:

 <Window x:Class="InfraSandbox.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:Ribbon="clr-namespace:Infragistics.Windows.Ribbon;assembly=Infragistics3.Wpf.Ribbon.v8.2"
    xmlns:System="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
    Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
    <Window.Resources>
        <x:Array x:Key="data" Type="System:String">
            <System:String>B1</System:String>
            <System:String>B2</System:String>
            <System:String>B3</System:String>
        </x:Array>
    </Window.Resources>
    
    <Grid>        
        <Ribbon:XamRibbon>
            <Ribbon:RibbonTabItem Header="Tab">
                <Ribbon:RibbonGroup Caption="Group">
                    <Ribbon:MenuTool Caption="MenuTool 1">
                        <Ribbon:RadioButtonTool Caption="A1" IsChecked="True"/>
                        <Ribbon:RadioButtonTool Caption="A2"/>
                        <Ribbon:RadioButtonTool Caption="A3"/>
                    </Ribbon:MenuTool>

                    <Ribbon:MenuTool Caption="MenuTool 2" ItemsSource="{StaticResource data}">
                        <Ribbon:MenuTool.ItemTemplate>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                <Ribbon:RadioButtonTool Caption="{Binding Path=.}"/>
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </Ribbon:MenuTool.ItemTemplate>
                    </Ribbon:MenuTool>
                </Ribbon:RibbonGroup>
            </Ribbon:RibbonTabItem>
        </Ribbon:XamRibbon>
    </Grid>
</Window>


Is it possible to do it this way?

    The items displayed in the dropdown of a menu tool aren't actually tools - not button tools anyway - they are ToolMenuItem instances. So you would have to make those menu items checkable and bind the IsChecked of the radiobuttontool to the ischecked of the menu item.

    e.g.

    <Ribbon:MenuTool Caption="MenuTool 2" ItemsSource="{StaticResource data}">
        <Ribbon:MenuTool.ItemContainerStyle>
            <Style TargetType="{x:Type Ribbon:ToolMenuItem}">
                <Setter Property="IsCheckable" Value="True" />
            </Style>
        </Ribbon:MenuTool.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Ribbon:MenuTool.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Ribbon:RadioButtonTool Caption="{Binding Path=.}" 
                                        GroupName="mt2"
                                        IsChecked="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type Ribbon:ToolMenuItem}}, Path=IsChecked, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
            </DataTemplate>
        </Ribbon:MenuTool.ItemTemplate>
    </Ribbon:MenuTool>
