Hi Stefan,

I am also try to use the MenuTool in MVVM. Trying to do what the original poster likes to do, I looked through all your suggested threads, however, I was not able to get the MenuTool to work.

Here's the XAML:

<igRibbon:MenuTool  Caption="Status" ItemsSource="{Binding MenuItems}">
    <igRibbon:MenuTool.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type igRibbon:ToolMenuItem}">
            <Setter Property="Command" Value="{Binding SetStatusCommand}"/>
            <Setter Property="CommandParameter" Value="{Binding}"/>
        </Style>
    </igRibbon:MenuTool.ItemContainerStyle>
</igRibbon:MenuTool>

Here's the VM:

public class ViewModel:ViewModelBase

{

public ViewModel()

{

MenuItems = new ObservableCollection<string> { "Active", "InActive", "Test" };

SetStatusCommand = new DelegateCommand<string>(SetStatus);

}

public DelegateCommand<string> SetStatusCommand { get; set; }

private ObservableCollection<string> _MenuItems;
public ObservableCollection<string> MenuItems
{
       get { return _MenuItems; }
       set
       {
             if (value != _MenuItems)
            {
             _MenuItems = value;
             RaisePropertyChanged();
            }
        }
}

private void SetStatus(string status)
{
       var parameter = status;
}

}

When I click on the item from the menu drop-down, the SetStatusCommand was not fired.

What did I do wrong?

If you can prepare a simple sample showing how to use MenuTool in MVVM will be a great help.

Thank you very much.
