Just create your own action.

protected override void Invoke(object parameter)

}
}
}
In this case I’m binding to a property called DialogResult on my viewmodel.
<Grid>
<Button>
<i:Interaction.Triggers>
<i:EventTrigger EventName="Click">
<wpf:SetPropertyAction PropertyName="DialogResult" TargetObject="{Binding}"
PropertyValue="{x:Static mvvm:DialogResult.Cancel}"/>
</i:EventTrigger>

Cancel
</Button>
