How to customize the DropDownMenuItems in WPF DropDownButtonAdv?

This article explains how to customize the DropDownMenuItems in the WPF DropDownButtonAdv control.

We can achieve this customization by setting a custom style to change the content template and using a DataTemplate to modify the ItemTemplate of the popup within the DropDownButtonAdv control. Also, we can modify the background color of the popup of DropDownButtonAdv by altering the background value of the DropDownMenuGroup.

Apply the custom DropDownButtonAdv style to the DropDownButtonAdv control and add the DropDownMenuGroup customization with background, foreground, height, and width.

<syncfusion:DropDownButtonAdv Label="Country" SmallIcon="Images/flagsmall.png">
               <syncfusion:DropDownMenuGroup Background="Green" Height="120" Width="150" Foreground="Yellow" FontStyle="Italic" FontWeight="ExtraBlack" ItemsSource="{Binding DropDownItems}">
                   <syncfusion:DropDownMenuGroup.ItemTemplate>
                       <DataTemplate>
                           <syncfusion:DropDownMenuItem Header="{Binding Name}" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
                               <syncfusion:DropDownMenuItem.Icon>
                                   <Image Source="{Binding Flag}"/>
                               </syncfusion:DropDownMenuItem.Icon>
                           </syncfusion:DropDownMenuItem>
                       </DataTemplate>
                   </syncfusion:DropDownMenuGroup.ItemTemplate>
               </syncfusion:DropDownMenuGroup>
</syncfusion:DropDownButtonAdv>
