Commands

A RoutedCommand provides the signaling mechanism that indicates that a particular action is required; it is simply a messaging mechanism and does not perform the actions for the command. Routed commands can be triggered on an element through gestures attached to a command, through an InputBinding on a specific element, or explicitly (invoked directly).

The following table provides a list of the commands that are exposed through the static DataGridCommands class:
