I had to create a dynamic list of submenuitems in WPF. I had to bind the Icon of the MenuItem to the DataSource as well. I found, that the binding works in some cases odd. Look at my code:
<Style x:Key="badMenuItem_ItemContainerStyle" TargetType="MenuItem">
<Setter Property="Header" Value="{Binding Header}" />
<Setter Property="Icon">
<Setter.Value>
<Image Width="20" Height="20" Source="{Binding ImageSource}" />
Setter.Value>
Setter>
Style>
<Image x:Key="image" Source="{Binding ImageSource}" Width="20" Height="20" x:Shared="False"/>
<Style x:Key="goodMenuItem_ItemContainerStyle" TargetType="MenuItem">
<Setter Property="Header" Value="{Binding Header}" />
<Setter Property="Icon" Value="{StaticResource image}" />
Style>
The I first used the badMenuItem_ItemContainerStyle as the ItemContainerStyle of my MenuItem, to which I added the child MenuItems through a binding. It works the following way: The Image as Icon appears correctly on the UI, but only in the last child MenuItem. If I define a Converter for the binding, the converter will be called for each MenuItem. The binding seems to work, but the images do not appear. The goodMenuItem_ItemContainerStyle works correctly. Can someone explain me what is wrong with the badMenuItem_ItemContainerStyle?
