Hi Greg,
Don't worry too much about eliminating code behinds. I find that's a
good guiding principle when first learning XAML based technologies (as
it forces you to change the way you think about architecting solutions),
but just because you have code behind doesn't mean you're doing it
wrong.
I doubt there's a hard and fast rule for "no code behinds" that doesn't
have a lot of exceptions. All I can say is that once you've got some
solid practical experiences working with XAML you'll develop a sense of
when it's appropriate to use code behind and when it isn't. It probably
comes down to whether it breaks the spirit of the model you've
architected or not, and whether you're willing to break your own rules
in specific instances under strict conditions.
All I can do is encourage you to continue through these frustrating
battles. At some point I know things will start to make more sense for
you.
Best of luck,
Carl.

Subject: Command binding working
Noobie, I pasted the Command.cs and ButtonBase.cs from Patrick
Cauldwell's sample project the into my project and it's working.
Thanks for finding that.
My previous attempts have used different combinations and versions of
these classes without success. This combination does look subtly
different to any of my previous attempts. Patrick's code is more
primitive than some of the others, so I might try to beef it up and
generalise it with the code from other classes.
Oh well, my first stupid MVVM hurdle is over, now I have to deal with
grid selections, double-clicks, trees, and ComponentOne controls. I will
be a challenge to avoid code-behind for all of these cases.
Greg
