RE: Loading Menu and Toolbar Items From a Resource File(Page?) in WPF<1163454875.783518.140940@m73g2000cwd.googlegroups.com>

I had trouble with this as well, but finally figured it out. Here's what I did.

1. Menu defined in resource file
<Application.Resources>
<!-- Menu and Context menu resources -->
<Menu x:Key="Menu.File">
<MenuItem Header="_File" >
<MenuItem Header="E_xit" Command="{x:Static pw:ApplicationCommands.Exit}" />
</MenuItem>
</Menu>
</Application.Resources>

2.Reference the menu resource in a Window
<DockPanel x:Name="DockPanel" LastChildFill="False">
<ToolBarTray DockPanel.Dock="Top" MinHeight="24" x:Name="ToolBarTray">
<ToolBar x:Name="Standard">
<StaticResource ResourceKey="Menu.File" />
</ToolBar>
</ToolBarTray>
</DockPanel>

You should be able to reference icons/images, etc in a similar manner.

Hope this helps
