I have a WPF application window with a set of three buttons (Button A, B, C) and these buttons have command binding to respective View Model property.

When Button A is clicked it’s command executes (another application is launched, Button A is disabled as CommandCanExecute condition is updated to return false). This results in application window being deactivated.

Clicking Button B doesn’t execute it’s command but instead only activates the window and sets the focus to the Main window. 2nd click is required on Button B to execute its command.

The desired functionality is on click of Button B, while the application window is not active, the application window activates and command associated with Button B is executed. I have also tried removing the command and adding a click handler for test purpose but this displays same behaviour.

I appreciate any help with this issue.

    Identified the problem to be related to how our Command binding is setup.

    Solution is to fire CanExecuteChanged event so that relevant CommandCanExecute is re-evaluated by the framework. I replaced our ICommand implementation with Prism DelegateCommand and invoked RaiseCanExecuteChanged() method of delegate command when the condition is changed.

    Before using Prism DelegateCommand, I tried calling CommandManager.InvalidateRequerySuggested() but it didn’t help in this case. I have not fully investigated why but we are already using PRISM in other applications so using DelegateCommand will suffice here.

    Many thanks
