Hey Everyone,
I have a ListBox that contains a bunch of business objects (Models).
My heirarchy is like this:
Window
-> ItemsControl {Groups}
--> Group
---> ListBox {People}
----> Person
-----> ContextMenu (Edit/Delete)
My Window's DataContext is my ViewModel containing the Edit/Delete Commands.
I've tried many different ways to bind to the Command on my Window's DataContext, such as:
This is within the DataTemplate for my "Person":
<MenuItemHeader="Edit"Command="{Binding Path=DataContext.EditResourceCommand, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type v:ManageResourcesView}}}"/>
The error I receive is:
System.Windows.Data Error: 4 : Cannot find source for binding with reference 'RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType=.UI.ViewModels.ManageResourcesViewModel', AncestorLevel='1''. BindingExpression:Path=DataContext.EditResourceCommand; DataItem=null; target element is 'MenuItem' (Name=''); target property is 'Command' (type 'ICommand')
The weird thing is... my DataTemplate for my "Group" has the following, which works...
SelectedItem="{Binding Path=DataContext.SelectedResource, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type v:ManageResourcesView}}}"
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
