I have WPF ComboBox inside a data template (a lot of comboboxes in listbox) and I want to handle enter button. It would be easy if it was e.g. a button - I would use Command + Relative binding path etc. Unfortunately, I have no idea how handle key press with a Command or how to set event handler from template. Any suggestions?
I've solved my problem by using a usual event handler where I walk through the visual tree, find corresponding button and call it's command. If anybody else has the same problem, please post a comment and I'll provide more details of realization.
UPD
Here is my solution:
I search the visual tree for a button and than execute command associated with button.
View.xaml:
<ComboBox KeyDown="ComboBox_KeyDown"/>
<Button Command="{Binding AddResourceCommand}"/>
View.xaml.cs:
private void ComboBox_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Key == Key.Enter)
{
var parent = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent((DependencyObject)sender);
int childrenCount = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(parent);
for (int i = 0; i < childrenCount; i++)
{
var child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(parent, i) as Button;
if (null != child)
{
child.Command.Execute(null);
}
}
}
}
