Hi, I cant figure out how to switch my customcontrols when clicking on a menubar-button. I have a MainWindow containing the following XAML:

<DockPanel x:Name="MainWindow">

    <Menu Name="dropDownMenu"
          DockPanel.Dock="Top">

        <MenuItem Name="dropDownPage1" Header="File">
            <MenuItem Header="Page1" Click="dropDown\_Page1"/>
        </MenuItem>

        <MenuItem Name="dropDownPage2" Header="File">
            <MenuItem Header="Page2" Click="dropDown\_Page2"/>
        </MenuItem>

    </Menu>
    
    <Grid Name="gridMainContent" DockPanel.Dock="Top">
        <TextBlock>placeholder main content</TextBlock>
    </Grid>
    
    <Grid Name="gridStatusBar" DockPanel.Dock="Bottom">
        <TextBlock>placeholder statusbar</TextBlock>
    </Grid>
</DockPanel>

The task is when clicking on one menubutton i.e. "dropDown_Page1", changing the content of the grid "gridMainContent". Is there a way to place customcontrols into a grid without code in any *.cs File ? It would be wonderfull if somebody could help me on this. Cause I´m new to WPF, I welcome you to show me other ways of doing this! Thx! PingOfDeath
