Using Button in DataTemplate, binding Command & Label

Ribbon for WPF Forum

I am trying to use a Button in a DataTemplate and specify a binding on both the Command and Label properties, but if the command is a RibbonCommand with a label specified, the Command's label is displayed instead of the Button's label. If I bind both properties in a non-templated context, then the Button's label overrides the Command's label as expected.

Here's an example:

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:r="http://schemas.actiprosoftware.com/winfx/xaml/ribbon"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1"
        Title="Window1" SizeToContent="WidthAndHeight">
  
  <Window.CommandBindings>
    <CommandBinding Command="local:Window1.FooCommand" Executed="FooCommand_Execute" />
  </Window.CommandBindings>
  
  <Window.Resources>
    <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type local:Foo}">
      <r:Button Margin="5" Padding="5" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" 
                Label="{Binding Name}" Command="{Binding Command}" />
    </DataTemplate>
  </Window.Resources>

  <StackPanel>
    <r:Button Margin="5" Padding="5" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" 
              Label="{Binding Name}" Command="{Binding Command}" />
    
    <ContentControl Content="{Binding}" />
  </StackPanel>
  
</Window>

using System;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Input;

using ActiproSoftware.Windows.Controls.Ribbon.Input;

namespace WpfApplication1
{
  public partial class Window1 : Window
  {
    public Window1()
    {
      this.DataContext = new Foo() { Name = "Foo 1" };
      this.InitializeComponent();
    }

    public static readonly RibbonCommand FooCommand =
      new RibbonCommand( "FooCommand", typeof( Foo ), "Foo Command" );

    private void FooCommand_Execute( object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e )
    {
      MessageBox.Show( "Foo Executed" );
    }
  }

  public class Foo
  {
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public RibbonCommand Command
    {
      get { return Window1.FooCommand; }
    }
  }
}
My actual scenario involves an ItemsControl, with multiple buttons using the same command but with different labels, but this is simpler. I also want to be able to use the same command elsewhere in the UI without overriding its label. Note that if the RibbonCommand doesn't have a label, then the Button label is displayed even when templated.

Hi Phil,

Can you send this over via email to us as a simple sample project that we can debug? Thanks!

Phil,

Thanks for reporting this and supplying the sample project. We've altered our internal code to implement command UI providers a bit different and the change resolves the issue. The maintenance release with the updates was just posted.
