    <p>I'm new to both WPF and MVVM. I have searched for a good way to dynamically create menus in the MVVM parttern and I am not finding anything to my liking, so I rolled my own solution. It works, but for some reason the Foreground (text) color of the menus are sometimes (just sometimes) not correct.</p> <p>I added a link for the image below.</p> <p><strike><a href="http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/1912/badmenu.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/1912/badmenu.jpg</a></strike> (Dead Link)</p> <p>My lowest submenu displays correctly with a white foreground, but its parent menus forground turned to black and is almost impossible to read. If I had hard coded the menus then the parent's forground color would be white. If I move my mouse over the parent its text will switch back to white and the submenu will become black. </p> <p>Further, once I move my mouse away from the parent, all of its boolean properties <code>IsHighlighted, IsSubmenuOpen, etc...</code> become false, which surprising to me because I would think they should stay true. The end result is I haven't been able to solve this with a style trigger.</p> <p>Here is my XAML .</p> <pre><code>&lt;Window.Resources&gt; &lt;DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type src:ParentMenu}" &gt; &lt;Menu &gt; &lt;MenuItem Header="{Binding MenuName}" ItemsSource="{Binding ChildMenuItems}" /&gt; &lt;/Menu&gt; &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;HierarchicalDataTemplate DataType="{x:Type src:ChildMenu}" ItemsSource="{Binding ChildMenuItems}" &gt; &lt;MenuItem Header="{Binding MenuName}" Command="{Binding Path=Command}" /&gt; &lt;/HierarchicalDataTemplate&gt; </code></pre> <p>' StackOverflow is masking my end tag for Window.Resources</p> <pre><code>&lt;DockPanel&gt; &lt;Menu DockPanel.Dock="Top" ItemsSource="{Binding Menus}" /&gt; &lt;Grid&gt; &lt;!-- Add additional content here --&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; &lt;/DockPanel&gt; </code></pre> <p>Both <code>ParentMenu</code> and <code>ChildMenu</code> inherit from a common class that actually holds all the menus and exposes the sub-menus through the <code>ChildMenuItems</code> collection. <code>ChildMenuItems</code> is a list of <code>ChildMenu</code> objects. My <code>ViewModels</code> expose a list of <code>ParentMenu</code> objects.</p> <p>There are probably better ways to accomplish what I want here. Here is an example:</p> <p><strike>img132.imageshack.us/img132/4160/bettermenu.jpg</strike> (Dead Link)</p> <p>Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong and/or how to fix the display problem?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
