How to: Use Triggers to Style a ContextMenu Item
This example shows how to use Trigger elements to style a MenuItem in a ContextMenu.
A Style is created that changes the appearance of a MenuItem in response to events that are raised on the item. When you move the mouse over the item, the foreground color and font characteristics change.
Example
<Style x:Key="Triggers" TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="MenuItem.IsMouseOver" Value="true">
<Setter Property = "FontSize" Value="16"/>
<Setter Property = "FontStyle" Value="Italic"/>
<Setter Property = "Foreground" Value="Red"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
