I need the same thing and I will implement it tomorrow using a ListBox and a hidden Popup to catch the click outside the ListBox.

There is no Menu or ContextMenu in Silverlight.

Can you give me some example or sample code. so that it will be more understandable.

I have though about this very much, and come up with what i consider an adequate solution (for now)

let me prefix this by saying... i don't want to consider overlaying html DIVs with javascript as this sounds like a nightmare to me (though i hear it can be done!)

i have extended a Button control to fire a 'Long Click' event. 600 milliseconds works pretty good. when a user clicks the button and holds the left mouse button down, after the duration has elapsed i open a Popup control with top left positioned at the mouse. anything (e.g. buttons, hyperlinks, etc) can be put in the popup.

Currently i use this on a TreeView, so that users can click-hold on a treeview item and get a context menu that varies depending on the item.

it ends up being quite intuitive and user friendly...

i am more than happy to share the code, though it doesn't lend itself to being pasted in a forum. i'll provide a link if there is interest.

as a question to the Silverlight People... Flash 10 allows developers to add items to the rightclick context menu... when can we have this in Silverlight?

A colleague has implemented a contextual menu, but instead of clicking right click, the user will have to use the combination of key CTRL + Right Click (I  guess in flash they made the same trick).

About the sample, sorry it's in spanish, but you can take a look to the sourcecode.
