Making AvalonEdit MVVM compatible

Question

I\'m trying to make Avalon MVVM compatible in my WPF application. From googling, I found out that AvalonEdit is not MVVM friendly and I need to export the state of AvalonEdi

Answer 1

You can use the Document property from the editor and bind it to a property of your ViewModel.

Here is the code for the view :

And the code for the ViewModel :

namespace AvalonEditIntegration.UI
{
    using System.Windows;
    using System.Windows.Input;
    using ICSharpCode.AvalonEdit.Document;

    public class ViewModel
    {
        public ViewModel()
        {
            ShowCode = new DelegatingCommand(Show);
            Document = new TextDocument();
        }

        public ICommand ShowCode { get; private set; }
        public TextDocument Document { get; set; }

        private void Show()
        {
            MessageBox.Show(Document.Text);
        }
    }
}
