If you want to implement your own Undo/Redo and prevent e.g. a TextBox from intercepting, attach to the command preview events through CommandManager.AddPreviewCanExecuteHandler and CommandManager.AddPreviewExecutedHandler and set the event.Handled flag to true:

MySomething()
{
    CommandManager.AddPreviewCanExecuteHandler(
        this,
        new CanExecuteRoutedEventHandler(OnPreviewCanExecuteHandler));
    CommandManager.AddPreviewExecutedHandler(
        this,
        new ExecutedRoutedEventHandler(OnPreviewExecutedEvent));
}
void OnPreviewCanExecuteHandler(object sender, CanExecuteRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Command == ApplicationCommands.Undo)
    {
        e.CanExecute = true;
        e.Handled = true;
    }
    else if (e.Command == ApplicationCommands.Redo)
    {
        e.CanExecute = true;
        e.Handled = true;
    }
}
void OnPreviewExecutedEvent(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Command == ApplicationCommands.Undo)
    {
        // DO YOUR UNDO HERE
        e.Handled = true;
    }
    else if (e.Command == ApplicationCommands.Redo)
    {
        // DO YOUR REDO HERE
        e.Handled = true;
    }
}
