C# WPF titlebar buttons not working with style












0















I have a project with the following structure:



Proj
├──Views
├ ├──Dashboard.xaml
├ ├──Dashboard.cs

├──Styles
├ ├──DashboardStyle.xaml

├──App.xaml
├──App.xaml.cs


I'm trying to style the window. The window is getting styled but the titlebar buttons are not working ( the triggers and hover effect isn't there, and clicking them is also doing nothing )





This is my code:

    These commands are 'RoutedCommands'. You will have to declare handlers using the 'CommandBindings' property on the control that is supposed to execute the commands or catch them. Without a 'CommandBinding', the missing of a 'CanExecute(object)' handler will default to 'false' and the invoking control (your button) is disabled. This makes sense, as the button currently has no function. As a result the mouse over effects are not triggered.

    These commands are 'RoutedCommands'. You will have to declare handlers using the 'CommandBindings' property on the control that is supposed to execute the commands or catch them. Without a 'CommandBinding', the missing of a 'CanExecute(object)' handler will default to 'false' and the invoking control (your button) is disabled. This makes sense, as the button currently has no function. As a result the mouse over effects are not triggered.

You need a command binding for these command in your window, e.g.



public partial class DashboardWindow : Window
{
public DashboardWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();

this.CommandBindings.Add(new CommandBinding(SystemCommands.CloseWindowCommand, OnCloseWindow));
this.CommandBindings.Add(new CommandBinding(SystemCommands.MaximizeWindowCommand, OnMaximizeWindow, OnCanResizeWindow));
this.CommandBindings.Add(new CommandBinding(SystemCommands.MinimizeWindowCommand, OnMinimizeWindow, OnCanMinimizeWindow));
this.CommandBindings.Add(new CommandBinding(SystemCommands.RestoreWindowCommand, OnRestoreWindow, OnCanResizeWindow));

}

private void OnCanMinimizeWindow(object sender, CanExecuteRoutedEventArgs e)
{
e.CanExecute = this.ResizeMode != ResizeMode.NoResize;
}

private void OnCanResizeWindow(object sender, CanExecuteRoutedEventArgs e)
{
e.CanExecute = this.ResizeMode == ResizeMode.CanResize || this.ResizeMode == ResizeMode.CanResizeWithGrip;
}

private void OnCloseWindow(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
SystemCommands.CloseWindow(this);
}

private void OnMaximizeWindow(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
SystemCommands.MaximizeWindow(this);
}

private void OnMinimizeWindow(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
SystemCommands.MinimizeWindow(this);
}

private void OnRestoreWindow(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
SystemCommands.RestoreWindow(this);
}
}


Another tip: instead of Command="{Binding Source={x:Static SystemCommands.MaximizeWindowCommand}}", it is sufficient to write Command="SystemCommands.MaximizeWindowCommand" etc.
