How to fill ContextMenuStrip in XAML?

Question

I've created WPF application with NotifyIcon to work in tray.

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public NotifyIcon NotifyIcon { get; } = new NotifyIcon
    {
        Icon = Properties.Resources.status_on_ico,
        Visible = true
    };

    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        NotifyIcon.ContextMenuStrip = MyContextMenuStrip;
        NotifyIcon.Click += NotifyIcon_Click;
    }

    private void Window_Closing(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
    {
        e.Cancel = true;
        WindowState = WindowState.Minimized;
    }

    private void NotifyIcon_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Show();
    }
}

XAML of main window is nothing special and not relevant.

I want to create ContextMenuStrip of NotifyIcon in XAML (I know how to do it code behind but don't want it).

Here is what I've managed.

<WindowsFormsHost>
    <wf:ContextMenuStrip x:Name="MyContextMenuStrip" TopLevel="False">
        <wf:ContextMenuStrip.Items>
            <!-- How to add items here? -->
        </wf:ContextMenuStrip.Items>
    </wf:ContextMenuStrip>
</WindowsFormsHost>

The question is how to add items to ContextMenuStrip.Items with Name and Click event handlers in XAML?

The question is how to add items to ContextMenuStrip.Items with Name and Click event handlers in XAML?

Try this:

<WindowsFormsHost>
    <wf:ContextMenuStrip x:Name="MyContextMenuStrip" TopLevel="False">
        <wf:ContextMenuStrip.Items>
            <wf:ToolStripMenuItem Text="test1" Click="It_Click" />
            <wf:ToolStripMenuItem Text="test2" />
        </wf:ContextMenuStrip.Items>
    </wf:ContextMenuStrip>
</WindowsFormsHost>

private void It_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show("click!");
}
