Create Key binding in WPF
For your case best way used MVVM pattern
XAML:
<Window>
<Window.InputBindings>
<KeyBinding Command="{Binding SomeCommand}" Key="F5"/>
</Window.InputBindings>
</Window>
Code behind:
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
}
In your view-model:
public class MyViewModel
{
private ICommand someCommand;
public ICommand SomeCommand
{
get
{
return someCommand
?? (someCommand = new ActionCommand(() =>
{
MessageBox.Show("SomeCommand");
}));
}
}
}
Then you'll need an implementation of ICommand
.
This simple helpful class.
public class ActionCommand : ICommand
{
private readonly Action _action;
public ActionCommand(Action action)
{
_action = action;
}
public void Execute(object parameter)
{
_action();
}
public bool CanExecute(object parameter)
{
return true;
}
public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged;
}
For modifiers (key combinations):
<KeyBinding Command="{Binding SaveCommand}" Modifiers="Control" Key="S"/>
