I have a context menu which used to be a pop up menu. When I first load the program the context menu is empty as the menu items are bound to a list. However if I load the program and right click first the list is fine and then I can go to left click and the list appears. I'll show images to help my description:
Left click first
Right click first and also left click after
Can anyone help me understand why this has happened and how to fix it?
Edit - Xaml

Picture of menu right under the popup rather than to the right like the above pictures I want the background to be blue rather than the gray background as in the picture below
ListBoxyou can useContextMenuandStyleyourContextMenuas given in the answer below, In the Style you can specify what color you need when it shows. Keep in mind thatContextMenushows only when you left click the mouse.
