GalaSoft.MvvmLight

A command whose sole purpose is to relay its functionality to other objects by invoking delegates. The default return value for the CanExecute method is 'true'. This class does not allow you to accept command parameters in the Execute and CanExecute callback methods.

If you are using this class in WPF4.5 or above, you need to use the GalaSoft.MvvmLight.CommandWpf namespace (instead of GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Command). This will enable (or restore) the CommandManager class which handles automatic enabling/disabling of controls based on the CanExecute delegate.

Initializes a new instance of the RelayCommand class that can always execute.

The execution logic. IMPORTANT: If the action causes a closure, you must set keepTargetAlive to true to avoid side effects. If true, the target of the Action will be kept as a hard reference, which might cause a memory leak. You should only set this parameter to true if the action is causing a closure. See http://galasoft.ch/s/mvvmweakaction. If the execute argument is null.

Registers a recipient for a type of message TMessage. The action parameter will be executed when a corresponding message is sent. Registering a recipient does not create a hard reference to it, so if this recipient is deleted, no memory leak is caused.

The type of message that the recipient registers for. The recipient that will receive the messages. The action that will be executed when a message of type TMessage is sent. IMPORTANT: Note that closures are not supported at the moment due to the use of WeakActions (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25730530/). If true, the target of the Action will be kept as a hard reference, which might cause a memory leak. You should only set this parameter to true if the action is using closures. See http://galasoft.ch/s/mvvmweakaction.

Registers a recipient for a type of message TMessage. The action parameter will be executed when a corresponding message is sent. See the receiveDerivedMessagesToo parameter for details on how messages deriving from TMessage (or, if TMessage is an interface, messages implementing TMessage) can be received too. Registering a recipient does not create a hard reference to it, so if this recipient is deleted, no memory leak is caused.

The type of message that the recipient registers for. The recipient that will receive the messages. A token for a messaging channel. If a recipient registers using a token, and a sender sends a message using the same token, then this message will be delivered to the recipient. Other recipients who did not use a token when registering (or who used a different token) will not get the message. Similarly, messages sent without any token, or with a different token, will not be delivered to that recipient. The action that will be executed when a message of type TMessage is sent.

Similarly, messages sent without any token, or with a different token, will not be delivered to that recipient. If true, message types deriving from TMessage will also be transmitted to the recipient. For example, if a SendOrderMessage and an ExecuteOrderMessage derive from OrderMessage, registering for OrderMessage and setting receiveDerivedMessagesToo to true will send SendOrderMessage and ExecuteOrderMessage to the recipient that registered. Also, if TMessage is an interface, message types implementing TMessage will also be transmitted to the recipient. For example, if a SendOrderMessage and an ExecuteOrderMessage implement IOrderMessage, registering for IOrderMessage and setting receiveDerivedMessagesToo to true will send SendOrderMessage and ExecuteOrderMessage to the recipient that registered.

Since this operation can take a moment, it is only executed when the application is idle. For this reason, a user of the Messenger class should use instead of forcing one with the method.
