Question

I have an application that contains Menu and sub menus. I have attached Appliocation Commands to some of the sub menu items such as Cut, Copy and Paste.
I also have some other menu items that do not have application commands.
How could I add a custom command binding to those sub menu items?
I have gone through this article but unable to attach event to my sub menu items.

I use a static class that I place after the Window1 class (or whatever the window class happens to be named) where I create instances of the RoutedUICommand class:

public static class Command {      public static readonly RoutedUICommand DoSomething = new RoutedUICommand('Do something', 'DoSomething', typeof(Window1));     public static readonly RoutedUICommand SomeOtherAction = new RoutedUICommand('Some other action', 'SomeOtherAction', typeof(Window1));     public static readonly RoutedUICommand MoreDeeds = new RoutedUICommand('More deeds', 'MoreDeeeds', typeof(Window1));  } 

Add a namespace in the window markup, using the namespace that the Window1 class is in:

xmlns:w='clr-namespace:NameSpaceOfTheApplication' 

Now I can create bindings for the commands just as for the application commands:

<Window.CommandBindings>     <CommandBinding Command='ApplicationCommands.Open' Executed='CommandBinding_Open' />     <CommandBinding Command='ApplicationCommands.Paste' Executed='CommandBinding_Paste' />     <CommandBinding Command='w:Command.DoSomething' Executed='CommandBinding_DoSomething' />     <CommandBinding Command='w:Command.SomeOtherAction' Executed='CommandBinding_SomeOtherAction' />     <CommandBinding Command='w:Command.MoreDeeds' Executed='CommandBinding_MoreDeeds' /> </Window.CommandBindings> 

And use the bindings in a menu for example:

<MenuItem Name='Menu_DoSomething' Header='Do Something' Command='w:Command.DoSomething' />
