WPF menu item with image

How to define MenuItem.Icon so that the MenuItemHeader text would be placed below the menu item image?Thanks for help!

Solution

  • The easy way way is to not use the Icon property but to instead put the icon in the Header:

    <Menu>
  <MenuItem>
    <MenuItem.Header>
      <StackPanel>
        <Image Width="20" Height="20" Source="/XSoftArt.WPFengine;component/Images/export32x32xp.png" />
        <ContentPresenter Content="Reports" />
      </StackPanel>
    </MenuItem.Header>
  </MenuItem>
  <MenuItem Header="Export" />
  <MenuItem Header="New record" />
</Menu>

    For this simple case the <ContentPresenter Content="Reports" /> can be replaced with a <TextBlock Text="Reports" /> because that's what ContentPresenter would use to present the string anyway. For more complex Header=, you could use the ContentPresenter as shown.
