How to assign a shortcut key to the ribbon button.

Hi Raghuraj,

That can be done through the use of WPF commands. If you set an input binding to a WPF command and use that command on a ribbon button, it should respond to the input.

How does your solution work for toggle buttons? I have a Bold ribbon button that provides a CheckableCommandParameter in the EventArgs so that I can keep track of the state of the button. However, when the CanExecute fires as a result of the keyboard shortcut, the parameter is null. Can you make a suggestion?

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex,

When you register a shortcut key binding with a command, the Microsoft code that watches for that key shortcut has no tie at all to the UI buttons that may also use that command. Thus the parameter passed in that scenario is null since it's not coming from the button. The KeyBinding uses it's own CommandParameter property, which you would need to set.
