How to bind Close command to a button

Question

The easiest way is to implement ButtonClick event handler and invoke Window.Close() method, but how doing this through a Command bindi

Answer 1

For .NET 4.5 SystemCommands class will do the trick (.NET 4.0 users can use WPF Shell Extension google - Microsoft.Windows.Shell or Nicholas Solution).

In the Code Behind you can implement the handlers like this:

    private void CloseWindow_CanExec(object sender, CanExecuteRoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        e.CanExecute = true;
    }

    private void CloseWindow_Exec(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        SystemCommands.CloseWindow(this);
    }
