I have a WPF application which runs as a excel plugin, it has its visual tree like so
- Excel
- ElementHost
- WPF UserControl
- WPF ribbon bar control
- WPF UserControl
- ElementHost
Now any controls sitting on the WPF ribbon bar control are not enabled when the plugin is loaded within excel. See error below
System.Windows.Data Error: 4 : Cannot find source for binding with
reference 'RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType='System.Windows.Window', AncestorLevel='1''. BindingExpression:Path=IsActive; DataItem=null; target element
is 'Ribbon' (Name=''); target property is 'NoTarget' (type 'Object')
If I nest the ribbon bar control in a standalone Window(outside excel) it works fine.
Is there a way to intercept the FindAncestor call for a Window and wire it to something else.? Note that I cannot change the above binding as it isn't my control.
