WPF event binding from View to ViewModel?

Well one way to do is to convert that event into a command and then bind it to presenter command, i.e. by defining event behaviour.

See this, WPF Event Binding to ViewModel (for non-Command classes)


One way to handle events in MVVM and XAML is to use the Blend Interactivity features. This namespace contains the InvokeCommandAction and the CallMethodAction classes.

InvokeCommandAction lets you bind any event to a view-model command while CallMethodAction lets you bind any event to a view-model method.

For example if you want to bind the DoubleClick event of a Button to a view-model command you would do like this:

<Button>
    <i:Interaction.Triggers>
        <i:EventTrigger EventName="MouseDoubleClick">
            <i:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding Path=DoSomethingCommand}"/>
        </i:EventTrigger>
    </i:Interaction.Triggers>
</Button>

And declaring this namespace:

xmlns:i="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/interactivity"

All you need to reference it in your projects is to install Expression Blend or the Expression Blend SDK.


<Button MouseDoubleClick="{eb:EventBinding Command=DoSomethingCommand}">

</Button>

Command

{eb:EventBinding} (Simple naming pattern to find Command)

{eb:EventBinding Command=CommandName}

CommandParameter

$e (EventAgrs)

$this or $this.Property

string
