How do I bring the menu to the start of the navigation frame in Silverlight?
I have a Silverlight page with a header menu, navigation frame and footer. In my header menu, I want to put a dropdown menu, but when I open the menu, it goes out of scope.
Is there a way to promote it? Canvas.ZIndex
it does not matter.
In order to make this work, the navigation frame had to be in the grid, which was the child grid that my menu was in.
Same:
Grid "FullPageGrid"
Grid
Menu Stuff
Grid
Navigation frame
Not sure why this works, but it does.
You can use this free open source menu for this purpose:
www.sl4popupmenu.codeplex.com
It displays content at the top, placing it in a Popup control.
If you can place the dropdown menu later in XAML, it will appear above.
So, you want to have this hierarchy:
Grid
Grid
Your navigation frame
Grid
The menu
