RoutedCommand and floating Pane

[Andrea Gorin]

Hi,

I'm in this simple situation, my Shell contains 2 regions 
in the first region I have a botton with a RoutedCommand associated (RoutedMyCommand)
in the second region I have a RadDocking like this :

<telerikDocking:RadDocking>
    <telerikDocking:RadDocking.DocumentHost>
        <telerikDocking:RadSplitContainer>
            <telerikDocking:RadPaneGroup Regions:RegionManager.RegionName="Body" >
            </telerikDocking:RadPaneGroup>
        </telerikDocking:RadSplitContainer>
    </telerikDocking:RadDocking.DocumentHost>
</telerikDocking:RadDocking>

when I activate a new View ( a new RadPane ) in Body region, the RadPane is initially "Tabbed Document" and it handle correctly the RoutedMyCommand 
when the RadPane becomes "Floating" the RoutedMyCommand is not handled by View. 

Telerik version 2010.3.1110.35

Thanks, Andrea.

Hello Andrea,

 
When you make a RadPane floating, it is placed in a ToolWindow. The RadPane control is not placed in the same visual tree anymore, so this could lead to the problem you have. I would suggest you to use a DelegateCommand instead of RoutedCommand.

I hope this suits your needs.

Best wishes,

Thanks for your answer, I tried to use a DelegateCommand  to communicate between the 2 Regions ( the first region contains the button, the second region contains the RadDocking ), using PRISM, I created an EventController ( that uses IUnityContainer, IEventAggregator, ... ) and all runs correctly even when the Pane is floating.

But this solution is not simple like using RoutedCommand, Could you give me an example  of using DelegateCommand in a situation like mine.

Thanks for all, Andrea.

Hi Andrea,

 
I would suggest you defining a globally available command. For more information about command patterns in PRISM, please refer to msdn - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff921122(v=PandP.40).aspx#sec5
