Powershell WPF and Ribbon UI

I am trying to add an action to a ribbon button to a wpf ui through powershell:

This is the example i'm using to implement the ui: http://www.uxpassion.com/2008/11/how-to-use-add-ribbon-to-wpf-applications-part-3/

<Window.Resources> <ResourceDictionary> <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <ResourceDictionary Source="C:\test\core\WhistlerBlue\Theme.xaml"/> <ResourceDictionary Source="/RibbonControlsLibrary;component/Themes/Office2007Blue.xaml"/>
 </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <r:RibbonCommand x:Key="ExitGroupCommand" LabelTitle=""/> <r:RibbonCommand x:Key="ExitCommand" Executed="OnRibbonClick" LabelTitle="Exit" LargeImageSource="C:\test\core\icons\application-exit.png" ToolTipDescription="Quit
 program." ToolTipTitle="Exit (Alt+F4)" /> </ResourceDictionary> </Window.Resources> ... <r:RibbonGroup Name="ExitProgram" Command="{StaticResource ExitGroupCommand}"> <r:RibbonButton Command="{StaticResource ExitCommand}"/> </r:RibbonGroup> 

When i try to load the xaml, i get this error

Exception calling "Load" with "1" argument(s): "Must compile XAML file that specifies events. Line '0' Position '0'." At C:\test\core\gui.ps1:5 char:40 + $Form=[Windows.Markup.XamlReader]::Load <<<< ( $reader ) + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified:
 (:) [], MethodInvocationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException

I need to handle event for ribbon button click. But I can't even load the xaml at all. How do I add event handling when I can't load the xaml? I can't add the event before the xaml is loaded because it doesn't exist yet.

That is because the code sample you have supplied is using WPF commands (or the command design pattern) and not events, so you need to look up how to handle commanding in Powershell or change the button command into events

Hmm. Ribbon UI is using custom commands and and not the normal commands wpf goes by.
