WPF menu item with image

image, menu, menuitem, wpf

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.
