I use a static class that I place after the Window1 class (or whatever the window class happens to be named) where I create instances of the RoutedUICommand class:
public static class Command {
public static readonly RoutedUICommand DoSomething = new RoutedUICommand("Do something", "DoSomething", typeof(Window1));
public static readonly RoutedUICommand SomeOtherAction = new RoutedUICommand("Some other action", "SomeOtherAction", typeof(Window1));
public static readonly RoutedUICommand MoreDeeds = new RoutedUICommand("More deeds", "MoreDeeeds", typeof(Window1));
}
Add a namespace in the window markup, using the namespace that the Window1 class is in:
xmlns:w="clr-namespace:NameSpaceOfTheApplication"
Now I can create bindings for the commands just as for the application commands:
<Window.CommandBindings>
<CommandBinding Command="ApplicationCommands.Open" Executed="CommandBinding_Open" />
<CommandBinding Command="ApplicationCommands.Paste" Executed="CommandBinding_Paste" />
<CommandBinding Command="w:Command.DoSomething" Executed="CommandBinding_DoSomething" />
<CommandBinding Command="w:Command.SomeOtherAction" Executed="CommandBinding_SomeOtherAction" />
<CommandBinding Command="w:Command.MoreDeeds" Executed="CommandBinding_MoreDeeds" />
</Window.CommandBindings>
And use the bindings in a menu for example:
<MenuItem Name="Menu_DoSomething" Header="Do Something" Command="w:Command.DoSomething" />
