I saw this on an internal alias recently thought it would make a useful post. Most of us are aware that many controls in WPF can invoke an
ICommand as a result of their default action. For example, to invoke a Command on the Click of a button we can simply do this:
<Button Command="YourCommand" />
Easy. But what if I want to invoke a command on a Double Click? Also easy...
<Button>
<Button.InputBindings>
<MouseBinding Gesture="LeftDoubleClick" Command="YourCommand" />
</Button.InputBindings>
</Button>
So now
YourCommand will be invoked when the button is double clicked. What about a CTRL and left button click? Also easy:
<MouseBinding Gesture="CTRL+LeftClick" Command="YourCommand" />
Nice. You can read more about
MouseBindings and take a look at
KeyBindings whilst your at it.

What about a command that activates on mouse move and another that activates on mouse up? Examples: zoom rectangle, drag and drop.
