Bind DoubleClick Command from DataGrid Row to VM

Question

I have a Datagrid and don\'t like my workaround to fire a double click command on my viewmodel for the clicked (aka selected) row.

Here is how you could implement it using an attached behaviour:

EDIT: Now registers behaviour on DataGridRow rather than DataGrid so that DataGridHeader clicks are ignored.

Behaviour:

public class Behaviours
{
    public static DependencyProperty DoubleClickCommandProperty =
       DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("DoubleClickCommand", typeof(ICommand), typeof(Behaviours),
                                           new PropertyMetadata(DoubleClick_PropertyChanged));

    public static void SetDoubleClickCommand(UIElement element, ICommand value)
    {
        element.SetValue(DoubleClickCommandProperty, value);
    }

    public static ICommand GetDoubleClickCommand(UIElement element)
    {
        return (ICommand)element.GetValue(DoubleClickCommandProperty);
    }

    private static void DoubleClick_PropertyChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        var row = d as DataGridRow;
        if (row == null) return;

        if (e.NewValue != null)
        {
            row.AddHandler(DataGridRow.MouseDoubleClickEvent, new RoutedEventHandler(DataGrid_MouseDoubleClick));
        }
        else
        {
            row.RemoveHandler(DataGridRow.MouseDoubleClickEvent, new RoutedEventHandler(DataGrid_MouseDoubleClick));
        }
    }

    private static void DataGrid_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        var row= sender as DataGridRow;

        if (row!= null)
        {
            var cmd = GetDoubleClickCommand(row);
            if (cmd.CanExecute(row.Item))
                cmd.Execute(row.Item);
        }
    }
}

Xaml:

You will then need to modify your MouseDoubleClickCommand to remove the MouseButtonEventArgs parameter and replace it with your SelectedItem type.
