A have a Button
with a Command
. I want to display the InputGestureText
as a ToolTip
for every button that contains a command.
This is what I tried:
<n:ImageButton x:Name="NewRecordingButton" Text="Recording"
Command="util:Commands.NewRecording"
ToolTip="{Binding Source=util:Commands.NewRecording, Path=InputGestureText}"
ToolTipService.Placement="Top" ToolTipService.HorizontalOffset="-5"/>
I removed some elements for brevity.
I'm trying to achieve a similar result as a MenuItem
. I want to display the shortcut if the user hovers the mouse on top of the button.
The MenuItem
has a property InputGestureText
, when is not set it will check whether the item's Command
is a RoutedCommand
and will show the display string for the first KeyGesture
it can find.
You can achieve the same thing via a converter (works only with RoutedCommand
):
public class RoutedCommandToInputGestureTextConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
RoutedCommand command = value as RoutedCommand;
if (command != null)
{
InputGestureCollection col = command.InputGestures;
if ((col != null) && (col.Count >= 1))
{
// Search for the first key gesture
for (int i = 0; i < col.Count; i++)
{
KeyGesture keyGesture = ((IList)col)[i] as KeyGesture;
if (keyGesture != null)
{
return keyGesture.GetDisplayStringForCulture(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
}
}
}
}
return Binding.DoNothing;
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
return Binding.DoNothing;
}
}
Usage:
<Window.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<local:RoutedCommandToInputGestureTextConverter x:Key="RoutedCommandToInputGestureTextConverter" />
</ResourceDictionary>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<Button
Content="Save"
Command="Save"
ToolTip="{Binding Command, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Converter={StaticResource RoutedCommandToInputGestureTextConverter}}"
ToolTipService.ShowOnDisabled="True" />
</Grid>
