I have this kind of layout:
<Window x:Class="DockAndMenuTest.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:ad="clr-namespace:AvalonDock;assembly=AvalonDock"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<ad:DockingManager>
<ad:DocumentPane>
<ad:DockableContent Title="Doh!">
<UserControl>
<UserControl.CommandBindings>
<CommandBinding Command="Zoom"
Executed="ExecuteZoom"
CanExecute="CanZoom"/>
</UserControl.CommandBindings>
<DataGrid Name="_evilGrid">
<DataGrid.Resources>
<Style TargetType="DataGridRow">
<Setter Property="ContextMenu">
<Setter.Value>
<ContextMenu>
<MenuItem Command="Zoom"/>
</ContextMenu>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</DataGrid.Resources>
</DataGrid>
</UserControl>
</ad:DockableContent>
</ad:DocumentPane>
</ad:DockingManager>
</Window>
Briefly: ContextMenu is set for each DataGridRow of DataGrid inside UserControl, which in its turn is inside DockableContent of AvalonDock.
Code-behind is trivial as well:
public partial class MainWindow
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
_evilGrid.ItemsSource =
new[]
{
Tuple.Create(1, 2, 3),
Tuple.Create(4, 4, 3),
Tuple.Create(6, 7, 1),
};
}
private void ExecuteZoom(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("zoom !");
}
private void CanZoom(object sender, CanExecuteRoutedEventArgs e)
{
e.CanExecute = true;
}
}
So here's the problem: right-clicking on the selected row (if it it was selected before the right click) my command comes out disabled. The command is "Zoom" in this case, but can be any other, including a custom one.
If I get rid of either docking or UserControl around my grid there are no problems. ListBox doesn't have this issue either. So I don't know what's at fault here. SNOOP shows that in cases when this propagation fails, instead of UserControl, CanExecute is handled by PART_ShowContextMenuButton (Button), which is part of docking header.
I've had other issues with UI command propagation within UserControls hosted inside AvalonDock, but this one is the easiest to reproduce.
