Ive noticed this a couple of times when using menus with commands, they are not very dynamic, check this out. I am creating a menu from a collection of colours, I use it to colour a column in a datagrid. Anyway when i first bring up the menu (its a context menu) the command parameter binding happens and it binds to the column that the context menu was opened on. However the next time i bring it up it seems wpf caches the menu and it doesnt rebind the command parameter. so i can set the colour only on the initial column that the context menu appeared on.

I have got around this situation in the past by making the menu totally dynamic and destroying the collection when the menu closed and forcing a rebuild the next time it opened, i dont like this hack. anyone got a better way?

    <MenuItem
       Header="Colour"
       ItemsSource="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type local:ResultEditorGrid}}, Path=ColumnColourCollection}"
       ItemTemplate="{StaticResource colourHeader}" >
       <MenuItem.Icon>
          <Image
             Source="{StaticResource ColumnShowIcon16}" />
       </MenuItem.Icon>
       <MenuItem.ItemContainerStyle>
          <Style
             TargetType="MenuItem"
             BasedOn="{StaticResource systemMenuItemStyle}">
             <!--Warning dont change the order of the following two setters
                                otherwise the command parameter gets set after the command fires,
