I have this context menu resource:
Unfortunately you cannot bind Executed for a ContextMenu as it is an event. An additional problem is that the ContextMenu does not exist in the VisualTree the rest of your application exists. There are solutions for both of this problems.
First of all you can use the Tag property of the parent control of the ContextMenu to pass-through the DataContext of your application. Then you can use an DelegateCommand for your CommandBinding and there you go. Here's a small sample showing View, ViewModel and the DelegateCommand implementation you would have to add to you project.
DelegateCommand.cs
public class DelegateCommand : ICommand
{
private readonly Action
MainWindowView.xaml
MainWindowView.xaml.cs
public partial class MainWindowView : Window
{
public MainWindowView()
{
InitializeComponent();
DataContext = new MainWindowViewModel();
}
}
MainWindowViewModel.cs
public class MainWindowViewModel
{
public ObservableCollection FooViewModels { get; set; }
public MainWindowViewModel()
{
FooViewModels = new ObservableCollection();
}
}
FooViewModel.cs
public class FooViewModel
{
public ICommand HelpExecuted { get; set; }
public FooViewModel()
{
HelpExecuted = new DelegateCommand(ShowHelp);
}
private void ShowHelp(object obj)
{
// Yay!
}
}
