how can ContextMenu command bind to ViewModel in MVVM style?

[Tommie Chen]

Hi,

I want to bind SfDataGrid ContextMenu MenuItem to a command from my viewmodel.  It doesn't work. I see the syncfusion sample code are using static command. Could you provide a sample which is not using static command?  Here is my code below,  Could you advice why this is not working? 

<syncfusion:SfDataGrid.RecordContextMenu>

                <ContextMenu Style="{x:Null}">

                    <MenuItem  Command="{Binding Path=DataContext.ShowParameterDetailCommand, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type UserControl}}}"

                                         CommandParameter="{Binding}"

                                      Header="Show Details">

                     </MenuItem>

                </ContextMenu>

            </syncfusion:SfDataGrid.RecordContextMenu>

C# side(use PRISM DelegateCommand):

this.ShowParameterDetailCommand = new DelegateCommand<object>(this.ShowParameterDetail);

public ICommand ShowParameterDetailCommand { get; private set; }

        private void ShowParameterDetail(object obj)

        {

 .....

        }

Hi Tommie,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion Support.

We have analyzed your query with your code snippet. In that the DataContext is not set for ContextMenu items. Hence the context menu is not worked as expected. However you can achieve your requirement for binding the SfDataGrid ContextMenu MenuItem to a command from my viewmodel by setting Source for Context Menu Item,

Code Snippet [XAML]:

     <syncfusion:SfDataGrid.RecordContextMenu>

           <ContextMenu Style="{x:Null}">

              <MenuItem Command="{Binding CopyCommand,Source={StaticResource employeeInfoViewModel}}" Header="Copy"></MenuItem>

           </ContextMenu>

     </syncfusion:SfDataGrid.RecordContextMenu>

C#:

CopyCommand = new ContextMenuDemo.ContextMenuCommands.RelayCommand(ShowMessage);

private ICommand copyCommand;

public ICommand CopyCommand

{

    get

    {

       return copyCommand;

    }

    set

    {

       copyCommand = value;

    }

}

public void ShowMessage(object obj)

{

      //Do your actions here

}

We have also prepared the sample based on this which is available from the below location,
