using a ListBox In WPF

Question

I've never done any work in wpf before and i'm supposed to add an undo button. I want it to look like what the undo button in VS looks like (click to undo once, hover over to get the more in depth listbox). I managed to get whats in the picture. It is inside a menuitem and i can't figure out how to just make it a white box without any borders or anything. Please Help! Here's code:

 <MenuItem Header="Edit" Width="50" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" >
            <MenuItem x:Name="MenuCopy" Header="Copy to Excel" >
                <MenuItem.Icon>
                    <Image Source="copy.ico" Width="24" Height="24"  />
                </MenuItem.Icon>
            </MenuItem>
            <MenuItem x:Name="MenuUndo" Header="Undo Last Action" IsEnabled="true">
                <MenuItem.Icon>
                    <Image Source="Undo.png" Width="24" Height="24" />
                </MenuItem.Icon>
                <ListBox>
                    <ListBoxItem Name="Item" Height="10" Width="100">

                    </ListBoxItem>

                </ListBox>
            </MenuItem>

Do you want the whole submenu item to just be a white box?

you may try to override the ControlTemplate and set the styles and remove padding, borders.

<Setter Property="Control.Template">
    <Setter.Value>
        <ControlTemplate TargetType="ListBox">
           ...
        </ControlTemplate>
    </Setter.Value>
</Setter>

Check this msdn link for Listbox style.

Sorry I am not familiar to wpf at all. Would this go inside the list box or around the list box?

This is the style of Listbox. You can edit styles and apply it to your control. check the msdn link.
