Cut/Copy/Paste Commands WPF

[nelsonbrodyk]

Hey All, I am trying to implement buttons that follow the command pattern. .NET exposes ApplicationCommands.Cut, copy and paste.

I am trying the following:

<Button Command="ApplicationCommands.Copy"/> //also have paste and cut.
<TextBox Width="50"/>

In the designer, selecting the textbox will eneable cut/copy. However when I run the application and go into the textbox and type, non the the buttons enable. Is this some sort of a focusing issue with the textbox?

thanks!

Hey, i have two buttons start and stop and only one will be enabled at any point of time. And i would like to use the same keygesture (something like Alt
+ P ) for both the commands. Is it possible?

nelson are the buttons disabled to start with? if so you might want to try adding a TextChanged event to the textbox to enable or disable the buttons. something like

        private void txtText_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
             if(txtText.Text.Trim != "")
             {
                  btnCopy.Enabled = true;
                  btnCut.Enabled = true;
             }
             else
             {
                  btnCopy.Enabled = false;
                  btnCut.Enabled = false;
             }
        }
