description: Implement Syncfusion WPF MenuAdv for hierarchical menus, context menus, and application menu bars. Use this when building nested menus, menus with icons, keyboard shortcuts, checkbox/radio button menu items, or command-bound menus in WPF. Covers ItemsSource data binding with HierarchicalDataTemplate, MenuItemSeparator, orientation, expand mode, animation, and theming.

Implementing MenuAdv (WPF)

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user needs to:

Build an application menu bar (File, Edit, View…) with nested submenus
Add icons, keyboard shortcut labels, or separators to menu items
Create checkable menu items (checkbox or radio button style)
Bind a hierarchical data collection to a menu via ItemsSource
Wire menu items to ICommand implementations (MVVM pattern)
Switch between horizontal and vertical menu orientation
Control how submenus open (click vs mouse-hover)

Component Overview

MenuAdv                               (root menu bar container)
├── MenuItemAdv  (×N)                 (top-level or nested item)
│   ├── Header                        — display text
│   ├── Icon                          — image/UIElement on left
│   ├── InputGestureText              — shortcut label (e.g. "Ctrl+N")
│   ├── IsCheckable / CheckIconType   — checkbox or radio button mode
│   ├── Command / CommandParameter    — ICommand binding
│   └── MenuItemAdv  (×N)            (nested submenu items)
└── MenuItemSeparator                 (horizontal divider line)

Quick Start

xmlns:syncfusion="http://schemas.syncfusion.com/wpf"

<syncfusion:MenuAdv Height="25" VerticalAlignment="Top">
    <syncfusion:MenuItemAdv Header="File">
        <syncfusion:MenuItemAdv Header="New"/>
        <syncfusion:MenuItemAdv Header="Open"/>
        <syncfusion:MenuItemSeparator/>
        <syncfusion:MenuItemAdv Header="Exit"/>
    </syncfusion:MenuItemAdv>
    <syncfusion:MenuItemAdv Header="Edit">
        <syncfusion:MenuItemAdv Header="Cut"/>
        <syncfusion:MenuItemAdv Header="Copy"/>
        <syncfusion:MenuItemAdv Header="Paste"/>
    </syncfusion:MenuItemAdv>
    <syncfusion:MenuItemAdv Header="View"/>
</syncfusion:MenuAdv>

using Syncfusion.Windows.Shared;

MenuAdv menu = new MenuAdv();

MenuItemAdv file = new MenuItemAdv { Header = "File" };
file.Items.Add(new MenuItemAdv { Header = "New" });
file.Items.Add(new MenuItemAdv { Header = "Open" });
file.Items.Add(new MenuItemSeparator());
file.Items.Add(new MenuItemAdv { Header = "Exit" });

MenuItemAdv edit = new MenuItemAdv { Header = "Edit" };
edit.Items.Add(new MenuItemAdv { Header = "Cut" });
edit.Items.Add(new MenuItemAdv { Header = "Copy" });

menu.Items.Add(file);
menu.Items.Add(edit);
this.Content = menu;

Common Patterns

Scenario	Approach
Static app menu (File/Edit/View)	Declarative nested `MenuItemAdv` in XAML
Dynamic data-driven menu	`ItemsSource` + `HierarchicalDataTemplate`
Icon beside menu item	`MenuItemAdv.Icon` with `<Image Source="..."/>`
Keyboard shortcut label	`InputGestureText="Ctrl+N"`
Separator between groups	`<syncfusion:MenuItemSeparator/>`
Toggle option (checkable)	`IsCheckable="True"` + `CheckIconType="CheckBox"`
Mutually exclusive options	`CheckIconType="RadioButton"` + `GroupName="group1"`
MVVM command binding	`Command="{Binding SaveCommand}"`
Vertical sidebar menu	`Orientation="Vertical"`
Open submenu on hover	`ExpandMode="ExpandOnMouseOver"`

Key Properties

MenuAdv:

Property	Description
`Orientation`	`Horizontal` (default) or `Vertical` item layout
`ExpandMode`	`ExpandOnClick` or `ExpandOnMouseOver`
`ItemsSource`	Data collection for data-bound population
`ItemTemplate`	`HierarchicalDataTemplate` for data-bound items

MenuItemAdv:

Property	Description
`Header`	Display text
`Icon`	Image/UIElement shown on left
`InputGestureText`	Shortcut key label (e.g., `"Ctrl+S"`)
`IsCheckable`	Enable checkbox/radio behavior
`CheckIconType`	`CheckBox` or `RadioButton`
`IsChecked`	Checked state (bool)
`GroupName`	Radio button group identifier
`Command`	`ICommand` binding
`CommandParameter`	Value passed to command
`CommandTarget`	Target element for routed commands
