HI Guys,
is there an ICommand support in the XamWebMenu? With SL4 it could be so easy to fire up the commands, I've read the custom commands support and that seems to be a bit complicated and forces you to have to different frameworks for commanding in your app (if you want to have ICommand as well). A little less then ideal to be honest.
Just to make things a bit more clearer, what I want to achieve is:
1) have a ViewModel with potentionally many ICommand Properties in it.
2) make the ViewModel available using the Resources section in the xaml.
3) Bind the XamWebMenu item events (clicks) to that ViewModel commands.
can this be done?
Regards,
Stevo
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback as this is important for improving our product. We are still looking at adding this feature to a future release.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns with this matter.
1.) If you only implement the same features as the stock toolkit, your control suite is of little value.
2.) A menu is nothing more than a aggregation of buttons, with storyboards.
The stock toolkit context menu already supports commanding, and commanding is on the road map for all submission controls including the menu. What you're saying you're is not only getting beat to the punch by your competitors, you're getting equaled, nay; beaten by the stock toolkit.
Hi,
I wanted to update you with additional information I received from our development team that built-in Commanding in Silverlight 4 only supports Button-Based class (e.g. Button, HyperlinkButton). Since XamMenu and XamMenuItem are derived from ItemsControl, Commanding feature for those will not be considered at this time.
Thank you,
Sam
New features are implemented on a new release, in this case it would be 2011.1 or after. It would depend on when the determination is made to implement, and the latest release at that time.
Hi Sam,
It is already known, in what version is being implemented?
