How to override Copy command on WPF textbox?
routed-commands, wpf-controls
Solution
You can add a command binding to the text box to handle the "Copy" command. For example, like this:
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock x:Name="TextBox">
<TextBlock.CommandBindings>
<CommandBinding Command="{x:Static ApplicationCommands.Copy}"
Executed="CommandBinding_Executed"/>
</TextBlock.CommandBindings>
</TextBlock>
<Button Content="Copy"
Command="{x:Static ApplicationCommands.Copy}"
CommandTarget="{Binding ElementName=TextBox}"/>
</StackPanel>
Problem
I would like to override the behavior of RoutedUICommand "Copy" of a WPF TextBox. Is it possible without creating a new TextBoxExtended class that inherits from TextBox? I have reached that point, but now I am bit lost. ``` Private Sub tbSource_PreviewExecuted(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Input.ExecutedRoutedEventArgs) Dim commandName = DirectCast(e.Command, Input.RoutedUICommand).Text If commandName = "Copy" Then End If End Sub ``` Do you have any idea how to continue?
