Adding menu item to ControlCenter

[bboyle1234]

Hi, Is there any sample code for adding a separator and menu item to the Help menu in the ControlCenter? The image shows the menu that I'd like to add to:

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

I didn't see a specific sample for this so I have created one that includes a Separator. I have included an Addon and an Indicator sample as there are some differences in getting the Control center window.

To add items into the Help menu, you would need to change the Automation ID used in the samples. Currently the samples utilize the New menu which is named "ControlCenterMenuItemNew" this can be replaced with "ControlCenterMenuItemHelp" to instead use the Help menu.

Also I will include below the code used to Print the resource keys, this is helpful when you do not know what resource may have been used for an item. In this case I needed to locate what resource is used to Style the Separator control for the default items which is "MainMenuSeparator".

foreach (ResourceDictionary resourceDictionary in Application.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries)
{
	foreach (object key in resourceDictionary.Keys)
	{
		Print(  key   );
	}
}

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thanks Jesse, I'm VERY grateful to you for your very diligent and helpful reply.
Your effort has allowed me to get on with my real work instead of spending days figuring that out. I appreciate it so much.

I modified your example code for finding resources to include the resource type name. The catch block was necessary because the resource dictionary will throw an exception for certain keys.

foreach (ResourceDictionary resourceDictionary in Application.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries) {
    foreach (object key in resourceDictionary.Keys) {
        try { Print(key + ": " + resourceDictionary[key].GetType().ToString()); } catch { }
    }
}
