Command in RibbonControlLibrary

[Daniel]

The default Command system in WPF allow me to achieve common task like
copy/paste simply by
Command="Copy"
But the WPF Ribbon control has its own command type called RibbonCommand,
which won't allow me to do such.
So it becomes a little bit complicated for me to just put a "Copy" button on
the ribbon because it looks like I have to implement the logic myself.
There're quite a lot of editable controls on my UI, what can I do to have
these basic tasks on the Ribbon?

Thank!

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for using Microsoft Managed Newsgroup Service, my name is Zhi-Xin
Ye, it's my pleasure to work with you on this issue.

As far as I know, in the preview version of WPF Ribbon, there's no built-in
way to use an existing ICommand instance in RibbonCommand, however, our
developers are considering this feature when designing the V1 of WPF
Ribbon, you should be able to do this in V1. For the time being, you can
add an Execute event handler for the RibbonCommand and do something like
this in the event handler function:

private void OnCopy(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
RoutedCommand command = ApplicationCommands.Copy;
command.Execute(sender, null);
}

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know.

Best Regards,
