Hi guys

I have a bit problem in menu commands, that trying exit from window with this XAML code:

XML

<Menu>
    <MenuItem Header="_File">
        <MenuItem Header="a" />
        <Separator />
        <MenuItem Header="E_xit" InputGestureText="Alt+F4" Command="ApplicationCommands.Close" />
    </MenuItem>
</Menu>

But when click in File menu, the Exit item is disabled, what problem? May it's not bind to window? How to do this?

Thanks in advacne:)

Have you tried adding your own close method and calling that instead of sending a command ? Have you tried removing the InputGesture ? I don't know the answer, but it seems to me like some trial and error would help work it out.

I used this code in window XAML:

XML

<window.inputbindings>
    <keybinding command="NotACommand" modifiers="Alt" key="F4" />
    <keybinding command="Close" key="F2" />
</window.inputbindings>
<window.commandbindings>
    <commandbinding command="Close" executed="CommandBinding_Executed" />
</window.commandbindings>

And this code in the menu:

XML

<menu>
    <menuitem header="_File">
        <menuitem header="a" />
        <separator />
        <menuitem header="E_xit" inputgesturetext="F2" command="ApplicationCommands.Close" />
    </menuitem>
</menu>

Finally the problem is solved;)
