Introduction
Flyout represents a control that displays lightweight UI that is either information or requires user interaction. Unlike a dialog, a Flyout can be lightly dismissed by clicking or tapping outside of it, pressing the device’s back button, or pressing the ‘Esc’ key. While a MenuFlyout represents a Flyout that displays a menu of commands.
Step 1
Open a blank app and copy the following XAML code into your grid which will add a Button with MenuFlyout to your plane.
- <TextBlock Text="Flyout Menu" FontSize="25"></TextBlock>
- <StackPanel>
- <StackPanel Margin="10,80,0,0" Orientation="Horizontal">
- <TextBlock Text="Flyout Menu" VerticalAlignment="Center" ></TextBlock>
- <Button Name="flyoutMenuButton" Content="FlyoutMenu" Margin="10,0,0,0">
- <Button.Flyout>
- <MenuFlyout Placement="Bottom">
- <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Item 1" Click="MenuFlyoutItem_Click"/>
- <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Item 2" Click="MenuFlyoutItem_Click"/>
- <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Item 3" Click="MenuFlyoutItem_Click"/>
- <MenuFlyoutSubItem Text="Item 4">
- <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Item 5" Click="MenuFlyoutItem_Click"/>
- </MenuFlyoutSubItem>
- <MenuFlyoutSubItem Text="Item 6">
- <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Item 7" Click="MenuFlyoutItem_Click"/>
- <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Item 8" Click="MenuFlyoutItem_Click"/>
- </MenuFlyoutSubItem>
- <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Item 9" Click="MenuFlyoutItem_Click"/>
- </MenuFlyout>
- </Button.Flyout>
- </Button>
- </StackPanel>
- <TextBlock Name="selectedItem" Foreground="Green" Margin="10,10,0,0"></TextBlock>
- </StackPanel>
Step 2
Copy and paste the following code to the MenuFlyoutItem_Click event on the cs page.
- MenuFlyoutItem selectedItemFlyout = sender as MenuFlyoutItem;
- selectedItem.Text = "Selected item is " + selectedItemFlyout.Text.ToString();

Run your application and clicking on any the corresponding item content will be shown in our assigned Textblock.
