Extending the WPF Command system

There is a very interesting thread on the WPF Forum which discusses how to augment the Command system in WPF.  A fellow by the name of Patrick Klug explains how his team made use of the CommandParameter property of CanExecuteEventArgs to pass extra information about the status of a Command.  His post was followed up by Bill Henning, of Actipro Software, who explained how his company’s WPF control library extends the basic Command system to pass more information about a command than is possible by default.  I highly recommend checking it out.

    Thanks for blogging about it Josh. The Wpf Forum wasn’t the best place to put it — I was lucky that someone saw it 🙂

    cheers,
    Patrick
