Style for SubMenuItem

[ruppschtaler]

Hi there,

I need a menu similar to NT's Chart Trader menu in my Add-On.
Seems to work - except the missing headers in the sub menu items. (see attached screenshot).
I think I have to use a different style for the sub menu items and tried many menu item styles of NT's resources but nothing found so far.

Here's my current code:

Menu myMenu = new Menu();
myMenu.Style = Application.Current.TryFindResource("SystemMenuSty le") as Style;
MainMenu.Add(myMenu);

MenuItemChartTrader = new NTMenuItem()
{
Foreground = Brushes.Black,
Height = 20,
Icon = Icons.ChartTraderOpen,
Style = Application.Current.TryFindResource("MainMenuItem" ) as Style,
VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center,
VerticalContentAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center,
ToolTip = "Chart Trader",
Width = 25
};
myMenu.Items.Add(MenuItemChartTrader);

MenuItemChartTrader_Closed = new NTMenuItem()
{
Foreground = Brushes.Black,
Header = "Closed",
Height = 20,
Icon = Icons.ChartTraderClosed,
Style = Application.Current.TryFindResource("MainMenuItem" ) as Style,
VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center,
VerticalContentAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center,
Width = 22
};
MenuItemChartTrader.Items.Add(MenuItemChartTrader_ Closed);

Thanks in advance!

Hello ruppschtaler,

Try using InstrumentMenuItem as the resource name.

Below is a link to an example called ChartToolBarCustomMenuExample_NT8 that uses this.
