When I disable a control in WPF, like say a menu item like
MenuItem aMenuItem = ...
aMenuItem.IsEnabled = false;
the text in the MenuItem is still active, that is it is not grayed out as you would expect when items are disabled.
Is there a simple way to do this not only for Menu items but for any WPF control?
yes by using commands. MenuItems and Buttons have a command property. a Command is an implementation of the ICommand interface which has a method called CanExecute. When can execute is called if it returns true the menutitem or button is enabled, otherwise it is greyed out.
