I'm building an application which has a RibbonWindow and a TabCollection.
Every RibbonButton has a command to open a tab of a specific UserControl. Every command does the same with a very small difference, they open a tab with a specific UserControl. Is there a good way of passing that UserControl type to one command called OpenTabCommand?
This is how it looks right now:
Xaml ...
<RibbonButton Label="OpenTab1"
LargeImageSource="/something.png"
Command="{Binding OpenTab1Command}" />
<RibbonButton Label="OpenTab2"
SmallImageSource="/something.png"
Command="{Binding OpenTab2Command}"/>
...
ViewModel
public RelayCommand OpenTab1Command{ get; set; }
public RelayCommand OpenTab2Command { get; set; }
public MainViewModel()
{
OpenTab1Command= new RelayCommand(OpenTab1, param => true);
OpenTab2Command = new SearchCommand(OpenTab2, param => true);
}
private void OpenTab1()
{
var item = new TabItem
{
Content = new Tab1(),
};
TabCollection.Add(item);
item.Focus();
}
private void OpenTab2()
{
var item = new TabItem
{
Content = new Tab2(),
};
TabCollection.Add(item);
item.Focus();
}
You can use
CommandParameter
and make sure your
RelayCommand
accepts a parameter on its handler.
