DelegateCommand

The DelegateCommand class provides a simple ICommand implementation. It is located in the Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls namespace and exposes the following methods and events:

  • CanExecute: Defines the method that determines whether the command can execute in its current state.
  • Execute: Defines the method to be called when the command is invoked.
  • CanExecuteChanged: Raised when changes occur that affect whether the command should execute.

The DelegateCommand constructor has two overloads. The first accepts just a Delegate to execute as a parameter. The second one accepts the Delegate to execute as well as a Predicate that determines if the delegate can be executed.

Example 1: DelegateCommand implementation in your ViewModel that accepts a delegate and a predicate

public class ViewModel 
{ 
    public ICommand MyCommand { get; set; } 
 
    public ViewModel() 
    { 
        this.MyCommand = new DelegateCommand(OnMyCommandExecuted, OnMyCommandCanExecute); 
    } 
 
    private bool OnMyCommandCanExecute(object obj) 
    { 
        return true; 
    } 
 
    private void OnMyCommandExecuted(object obj) 
    { 
        MessageBox.Show("Custom Command Executed!"); 
    } 
} 

Example 2: Using the command in xaml

<Button Command="{Binding MyCommand}" Content="Execute command" />
