Just to prove to Stephen that I have not been replaced by a Borg (who
programs and upgrades those guys anyway?)

 

I was a bit sceptical at first about the WPF Command routing system, but now
I'm impressed by how effective and easy it is to use.

 

Just setting the Command property of menus and buttons to a RoutedUICommand
will let that command event bubble up as far as you want (to the app window
in my case). There are lots of pre-supplied commands like
ApplicatonCommands.XXX etc and it's trivial to create another set of your
own commands. Calling CommandBindings.Add( ) adds the pairs of handlers for
each command in a way that reminds me of the old MFC technique. It's nice
that the pre-supplied command text is localised and can be used as the
control text.

 

So overall, the bubbling of commands really cuts down on the amount of
wire-up code needed and you can put all the command handling code in
convenient place(s) in your choice.
