Passing an enum value as command parameter from xaml

Question

Hi,

I want to pass an enum value as command parameter in WPF, something like this -

<Button x:Name="uxSearchButton" Command="{Binding Path=SearchMembersCommand}" 
        CommandParameter="SearchPageType.First" Content="Search"></Button>

SearchPageType is an enum and this is to know from which button search command is invoked.

Is this possible in WPF, or how can you pass an enum value as command parameter?

Answer 1

Try this

 <Button CommandParameter="{x:Static local:SearchPageType.First}" .../>

local - is your namespace reference in the XAML

Answer 2

You can use property element syntax instead of attribute syntax for this:

<Button x:Name="uxSearchButton"
        Command="{Binding Path=SearchMembersCommand}"
        Content="Search">
    <Button.CommandParameter>
        <SearchPageType>First</SearchPageType>
    </Button.CommandParameter>
</Button>
