Property Value

Many command sources, such as MenuItem and Button, are disabled when CanExecute is false and enabled when the CanExecute is true.

The follow example creates a CanExecuteRoutedEventHandler that only returns true if the command target is a control. First the Source event data is cast to a Control. If it is a Control, CanExecute is set to true; otherwise, it is set to false.

// CanExecuteRoutedEventHandler that only returns true if
// the source is a control.
public void CanExecuteCustomCommand(object sender, 
    CanExecuteRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    Control target = e.Source as Control;
    
    if(target != null)
    {
        e.CanExecute = true;
    }
    else
    {
        e.CanExecute = false;
    }
}
