As you see in above code display, we have created a static class with 3 static readonly commands of type RoutedUICommand.

Now to use it in XAML behind we need to add the namespace.

Let's have three buttons such Add, Edit and Copy. Which would operate on a ListBox item.

So let's do the design.

As you see in above XAML display we have the Commands attached and we handled two events such as CanExecute and Executed for all the Commands.

Now let's set the CommandTarget and CommandParameter wherever required.
