Should this be as simple as adding

<Setter Property="ContextMenu" Value="{x:Null}"/>

to the PaneHeaderPresenter style?

I've tried this, but to no avail.

We have our own template for the PaneHeaderPresenter style, and I've also tried adding ContextMenu="{x:Null}" to nearly every element in the tree, and the menu still shows up.

Is there some other trick to this?

[Edited to add:] Incidentally, this is within a DocumentContentHost, so there might be more behind-the-scenes menu setup and tweaking going on than I'm aware of...

The ContextMenu would have to be set to null via a local value so you would need to set it null in a custom template for the ContentPane where the PaneHeaderPresenter is allocated for the ContentPane. If that doesnt' work then please post a sample and I will look into why it's still showing up.

Here's a sample. Look where I have BlankContextMenu - which is a hacked approach where I create essentially an invisible menu. If I point to that from PaneHeaderPresenter style, there's no menu (although there's the side effect that it really is still there, so that a second click is often - but not always -  needed to make the menu go away, even though it's invisible). If I instead change the reference from BlankContextMenu to {x:Null}, the original Infragistics menu appears.

Yes I see the issue now. In theory setting it to x:Null on the PaneHeaderPresenter itself within the ContentPane template should have worked but it looks like this is considered a ParentTemplate value and not a local value. I'll see about getting this issue submitted. For now the only way to do this would be to handle the OptionsMenuOpening event of the ContentPane and clear the Items of the event args - however this would prevent the menu for things like the Window Position menu in the PaneHeaderPresenter as well.
