Binding doubleclick command MVVM

[Moustafa Elhagaly]

Hi, 

I am working on a hobby project to create a digital book collection application. I am using the sdfatagrid control to visualize all the books I have in my collection. 

        <syncfusion:SfDataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Books}" SelectedItem="{Binding Book}" Height="500" MouseDoubleClick="{Binding ViewBookCommand}"

                                          IsReadOnly="True" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Top" Grid.ColumnSpan="3"

                       AutoGenerateColumns="True" AllowFiltering="True" Grid.Row="1" NavigationMode="Row" x:Name="booksGrid">

            

            <syncfusion:SfDataGrid.InputBindings>

                <MouseBinding Gesture="LeftDoubleClick" Command="{Binding ViewBookCommand}" CommandParameter="{Binding ElementName=booksGrid, Path=SelectedItem}"/>

            </syncfusion:SfDataGrid.InputBindings>

        </syncfusion:SfDataGrid>

I am using the above code in my XAML view. Since I am using MVVM (specifically MVVMCROSS) I want to navigate to a different view with more details about the book. 

Unfortunately, the code above doesn't work and no errors are given either. Could someone help me out to get it to work with the InputBindings and MouseBindings elements?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Moustafa, 

Thank for contacting Syncfusion support.  

Currently, SfDataGrid doesn’t have support for input bindings. We have already completed the implementation to provide input binding support for F2 and LeftDoubleClick. This will be available in our upcoming 2021 Volume 1 main release which is expected to be rolled out in the month of March 2021.  

We are currently working to provide input binding support for all the possible keys. We will implement this support in our 2021 Volume 1 Service Pack release which is expected to be rolled out in the mid of April 2021. We will let you know once it is available for download.

Hi Mohanram, 

It came to my attention that 2021 Volume 1 was released today: https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/post/syncfusion-essential-studio-2021-volume-1.aspx

Does this mean that input binding (F2 key and LeftDoubleClick) are available as of now? 

I don't seem to be able to find it in the Release Notes or in the Documentation. 

Looking forward to hearing from you!
