<Menu HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" FlowDirection="RightToLeft">            
        <MenuItem HorizontalAlignment="Right" Header="aaa">
        </MenuItem>
        <MenuItem HorizontalAlignment="Right" Header="bbb">
        </MenuItem>
</Menu>

How do I right-align the 'help' menu item in WPF?

I like the second answer with the grid way.

Yes, you can.

Although the implementation is a little screwy.

If you want to have the menu items in the top menu go from right to left, add FlowDirection="RightToLeft" to your Menu. If you want to have an item aligned right in a dropdown, do the following:

<MenuItem>
    <MenuItem.Header>
        <TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Right" >Content</TextBlock>
    </MenuItem.Header>
</MenuItem>

If you want to do both, you actually have to set HorizontalAlignment="Left" instead of right, as the FlowDirection reverses the right and left in the Alignments. I don't know why, but that's what you have to do.

Isn't it wonderful when you find out that one solution screws up another? Seriously, try making a menu with the FlowDirection="RtL" and aligning things right, they all go left! – Drew McGhie May 14 '09 at 16:29
