I have a button set up with menu items. I need to know "ON" which of those buttons was the pop up triggered?

I tried something like :

C#

ContextMenu ct = (ContextMenu)((MenuItem)sender).Parent;

but I cant go anywhere further than get the "Menu" as a parent of MenuItem -.-

If a button triggered the popup menu, there's no way to access that. All you can do is access the menu. The menu item should have a tag property. Your button could set that before showing the menu and that could be how you tell. I think it's an object so you could set it to be the control, or a string.

Unfortunately, the context menu is outside of the visual tree. Here is some comments on attempting to work with binding in a MenuItem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1013558/elementname-binding-from-menuitem-in-contextmenu[^]

Here is a solution...

C#

private void MenuItem_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            MenuItem mnu = sender as MenuItem;
            Button ct = null;
            if (mnu != null)
            {
                ct = ((ContextMenu)mnu.Parent).PlacementTarget as Button;
                MessageBox.Show("Clicked " + ct.Name);
            }
        }
