Hey crew, I've put up a post showing how to use Blend behaviors (and TriggerActions) to invoke a Command in response to any event. I worked around the issue with databinding but would love to see that resolved by release (if possible). This one was technically long enough for a codeproject article, but I decided to leave the glory of CP to the pros ;) Let me know what you think. Once I figure out how to upload it to the behaviors gallery I will.

Cool stuff, Mike. Very cool. How did you add videos to your post?

Used Camtasia and produced as animated gif ;) Makes them pretty big (~150KB) but more globally consumable.

Hi Mike,

What do you use to create animated gif containing Blend actions?

Didn't realize there was a TargetedTriggerAction that lets your TriggerAction have a target...making my ExecuteCommandAction even easier to implement. But I'm going on break for a while. We have a scheduled delivery on Thursday. I'll send pictures when she's here!
