How to add ContextMenu for WPF Chart?

ContextMenu can be added to WPF SfChart elements by setting a ContextMenu with the required MenuItem collection for the SfChart. By raising the required events of the MenuItem, you can customize the SfChart. Similarly, you can also enable a ContextMenu for other chart elements by raising the required events of the MenuItem.

XAML

<chart:SfChart x:Name="Chart" Margin="10" Background="White">
 
    …
    <chart:SfChart.ContextMenu>
        <ContextMenu>
            <MenuItem Header="Zooming">
               <MenuItem Header="EnableZooming" Click="ChartZoomItem_Click"/>
               <MenuItem Header="DisableZooming" Click="ChartZoomItem_Click"/>
            </MenuItem>                    
        </ContextMenu>
    </chart:SfChart.ContextMenu>
 
</chart:SfChart>

C#

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
     private ChartZoomPanBehavior zoomPanBehavior = new ChartZoomPanBehavior() 
     { 
         EnableZoomingToolBar = true, 
         EnableSelectionZooming = true 
     };
 
     …       
     // Method to enable and disable zooming for SfChart.
     private void ChartZoomItem_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
     {
         …
     }
}
