How do I properly bind the CommandParameter with my ContextMenu to the selected ListViewItem
So I have a ListView
, and when I right-click a item in there I have a command setup that fires when clicking.
I want to be able to get the text that's inside the the selected item.
So I guess I want to bind the SelectedItem
of the ListView
as the CommandParameter
I've noticed that the ContextMenu
is not in the visual tree which makes things a bit more confusing.
It's currently returning null
<ListView x:Name="PlayerListView"
Width="200"
Height="330"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Margin="0,80,15,0"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
Background="#252525"
VerticalContentAlignment="Center"
ItemsSource="{Binding ServerViewModel.Players}">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type model:PlayerModel}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
Width="190"
Background="#222222">
<StackPanel.ContextMenu>
<ContextMenu>
<MenuItem Header="Command One"
DataContext="{Binding DataContext,
Source={mvvm:RootObject}}"
Command="{Binding ServerViewModel.MyCommand}"
CommandParameter="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ContextMenu},
Path=PlacementTarget.SelectedItem}">
<MenuItem.Icon>
<Image Source="../../Assets/image.png"
RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="Fant"
/>
</MenuItem.Icon>
</MenuItem>
</ContextMenu>
</StackPanel.ContextMenu>
<Image Source="../../Assets/image.png"
Width="20"
Height="20"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Username}"
Foreground="White"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Margin="5"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
The command is working fine, everything is firing but it returns null, and I know it's because how the XAML is setup, but I am not sure how to traverse through the DOM
DataContext is setup like this
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
DataContext = new BaseViewModel();
}
The RelayCommand
public class RelayCommand : ObservableObject, ICommand
{
private readonly Action<object> _execute;
private readonly Predicate<object> _canExecute;
public RelayCommand(Action<object> execute, Predicate<object> canExecute)
{
if (execute == null)
throw new ArgumentException("execute");
_execute = execute;
_canExecute = canExecute;
}
public RelayCommand(Action<object> execute) : this(execute, null)
{
}
public bool CanExecute(object parameter)
{
return _canExecute == null ? true : _canExecute(parameter);
}
public void Execute(object parameter)
{
//This is where I debug and see that it returns null
_execute.Invoke(parameter);
}
public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged
{
add { CommandManager.RequerySuggested += value; }
remove { CommandManager.RequerySuggested -= value; }
}
}

You could bind to the the PlacementTarget

) of the ContextMenu
and then get its DataContext
:
