Cannot bind command within a ListBox

Question

My WPF uses the MVVM approach. I\'m trying to bind 2 controls within my list control

Answer 1

The ancestor search finds the control, not the DataContext, so you'll need to tell your binding where to find the DeleteCommand property. If your ViewModel is the DataContext of the MainWindow then you can just use:

<Button Content="Delete me now" 
    Command="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource 
                  Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorLevel=1, AncestorType=Window}, 
                  Path=DataContext.DeleteCommand}" 
    CommandParameter="{Binding FilePath}" />
