WPF: Add a command to auto-generated by binding menu items - wpf

Question

MVVM is used. I created separate menu 'Recent files' which gets its items from binding. It looks like that:
<MenuItem Header="_Recent files" ItemsSource="{Binding RecentFiles, Converter={StaticResource RecentFilesToListOfStringsConverter}, Mode=OneWay}" >
</MenuItem>
Now, I would like to add Command to each of the those auto-generated items, which should get the path as command parameter and execute import file action by click.
Could you please suggest how can it be done in MVVM way?

Answer 1

Again, found the solution by myself. I tried to put the command in wrong way like below, and it doesn't work:
<MenuItem Header="_Recent files" ItemsSource="{Binding RecentFiles, Converter={StaticResource RecentFilesToListOfStringsConverter}, Mode=OneWay}" >
<MenuItem.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
<Setter Property="Command" Value="{Binding ImportRecentItemCommand}" />
</Style>
</MenuItem.ItemContainerStyle>
</MenuItem>
Here is the right approach. Still don't understand how it works, have to learn WPF deeply!
<MenuItem Header="_Recent files" ItemsSource="{Binding RecentFiles, Converter={StaticResource RecentFilesToListOfStringsConverter}, Mode=OneWay}" >
<MenuItem.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
<Setter Property="Command" Value="{Binding DataContext.ImportRecentItemCommand, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type MenuItem}, AncestorLevel=1}}" />
</Style>
</MenuItem.ItemContainerStyle>
</MenuItem>
EDIT: The final version
XAML:
<MenuItem Header="_Recent files" ItemsSource="{Binding RecentFiles, Converter={StaticResource RecentFilesToListOfStringsConverter}, Mode=OneWay}" >
<MenuItem.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
<Setter Property="Command" Value="{Binding DataContext.ImportRecentItemCommand, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type MenuItem}, AncestorLevel=1}}" />
<Setter Property="CommandParameter" Value="{Binding}" />
</Style>
</MenuItem.ItemContainerStyle>
</MenuItem>
ViewModel: MVVM Light Toolkit is used, RelayCommand goes from there:
private ICommand _importRecentItemCommand;
public ICommand ImportRecentItemCommand
{
get { return _importRecentItemCommand ?? (_importRecentItemCommand = new RelayCommand<object>(ImportRecentItemCommandExecuted)); }
}
private void ImportRecentItemCommandExecuted(object parameter)
{
MessageBox.Show(parameter.ToString());
}
Enjoy
