How to fire a Command when a window is loaded in wpf

Question

Is it possible to fire a command to notify the window is loaded. Also, I'm not using any MVVM frameworks (Frameworks in the sense, Caliburn, Onxy, MVVM Toolkit etc.,)

Answer 1

This is much easier to do now. Simply include the following namespace:

xmlns:i="http://schemas.microsoft.com/xaml/behaviors"

And leverage it like this:

<i:Interaction.Triggers>
    <i:EventTrigger EventName="Loaded">
        <i:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding CommandInViewModel}"/>
    </i:EventTrigger>
</i:Interaction.Triggers>

Answer 2

    private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
       ApplicationCommands.New.Execute(null, targetElement); 
       // or this.CommandBindings[0].Command.Execute(null); 
    }

and xaml

    Loaded="Window_Loaded"
