I have created Items as ObservableCollection<string>. You can changed it to your Model.
YourViewModel.cs
private ObservableCollection<string> items;
public ObservableCollection<string> Items
{
get { return items; }
set { items = value; OnPropertyChanged(); }
}
public void LoadExpanderData(object obj)
{
Items = new ObservableCollection<string>();
Items.Add("Item 1");
Items.Add("Item 2");
Items.Add("Item 3");
Items.Add("Item 4");
Items.Add("Item 5");
}
IntToBoolConverter.cs
public class IntToBoolConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
bool isExpand = false;
if (value != null && value.GetType().GetProperties().Length > 0)
return isExpand = true;
return isExpand;
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
return true;
}
}

here is the solution binding a Flag to the property IsEnabled:
for example you set Flag = True when your file is loaded
MainWindow.xaml.cs:
public partial class MainWindow : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
DataContext = this;
}
private void ButtonClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Flag = true;
OnPropertyChanged("Flag");
}
public bool Flag { get; set; }
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
protected void OnPropertyChanged(string property)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(property));
}
}
MainWindow.xaml:
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="2*" />
<RowDefinition Height="1*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Expander Grid.Row="0" IsExpanded="False" Background="Yellow" Margin="50,50,200,50" >
<Expander.Style>
<Style>
<Setter Property="Expander.IsEnabled" Value="False" />
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=Flag}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Expander.IsEnabled" Value="True" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Expander.Style>
<Grid Background="Yellow">
:
:
</Grid>
</Expander>
<Button Grid.Row="1" Click="ButtonClick" Content="Click Me" />
</Grid>
i have played with IsEnabled but you can bind with the property IsExpanded:
<Expander Grid.Row="0" Background="Yellow" Margin="50,50,200,50" >
<Expander.Style>
<Style>
<Setter Property="Expander.IsExpanded" Value="False" />
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=Flag}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Expander.IsExpanded" Value="True" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Expander.Style>
even both if you want:
<Expander Grid.Row="0" Background="Yellow" Margin="50,50,200,50" >
<Expander.Style>
<Style>
<Setter Property="Expander.IsEnabled" Value="False" />
<Setter Property="Expander.IsExpanded" Value="False" />
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=Flag}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Expander.IsEnabled" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="Expander.IsExpanded" Value="True" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Expander.Style>
here, when you click on button, the Expander becomes Expanded/Enabled

WPF binding to UserControl from Page

I have a UWP application, and it has a page containing a few textbox controls bound to A.B.C[2].D, A.B.C[2].E, A.B.C[2].F, and so on
Now I want to move the text boxes to a separate UserControl to simplify my page's XAML but
still want them to be bound to A.B.C[2].D, A.B.C[2].E etc.
How can I achieve this?
Thank you
Here is my UserControl

<TextBox Style="{StaticResource styleTxtBox}" Text="{Binding Mode=OneWay, Path=HWVersionStr }" />
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
The code block directly under exists inside a page and is repeated multiple times.
The TextBoxs' were bound to {x:Bind ViewModel.DeviceData.Status.Devices[0].Temperature1 } and so on inside the Page
Now I want to display the same from UserControl.
In the data object, the instance of Devices[] is replaced every few seconds. The new array was created by deserializing from JSON object and directly assigned to like
ViewModel.DeviceData.Status.Devices = FromJSON(string);
Thank you
I agree with #EldHasp. The solution for your scenario is that you might need to create a custom dependency property in the UserControl. Then pass the A.B.C object to this property of the UserControl via binding.
I've made a simple demo about this, you could take look at the code and adjust it for your scenario.
UserControl XAML

<Grid.Resources>
<Style x:Key="styleTxtBox" TargetType="TextBox">

<TextBox Style="{StaticResource styleTxtBox}" Text="{Binding MyDependencyProperty._List[0].Name}" />
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
UserControl Code
public AClass MyDependencyProperty
{
get { return (AClass)GetValue(MyDependencyPropertyProperty); }
set { SetValue(MyDependencyPropertyProperty, value); }
}
// Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for MyDependencyProperty. This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
public static readonly DependencyProperty MyDependencyPropertyProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("MyDependencyProperty", typeof(AClass), typeof(TestUserControl), new PropertyMetadata(null));
public string Header = "TestHeader";
public TestUserControl()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
this.DataContext = this;
}
MainPage Xaml
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Foreground="Red" Text="{x:Bind ViewModel._AClass._List[1].Name}"/>
<local:TestUserControl Grid.Row="1" MyDependencyProperty="{x:Bind ViewModel._AClass}"/>
</Grid>
MainPage Code
public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
{
public TestViewModel ViewModel { get; set; }
public MainPage()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
ViewModel= new TestViewModel();
}
}
public class TestViewModel
{
public AClass _AClass { get; set; }
public TestViewModel()
{
_AClass = new AClass();
}
}
public class AClass
{
public List<BClass> _List { get; set; }
public AClass()
{
_List = new List<BClass>();
_List.Add(new BClass { Name = "123" });
_List.Add(new BClass { Name = "234" });
}
}
public class BClass
{
public string Name { get; set; }
}
And the result:

UpDown control that disables up or down button when limit is reached

My question is based on one of the answer to this post:
Where is the WPF Numeric UpDown control?
answered by Mr. Squirrel.Downy.
What i would like to accomplish is a numeric updown control that increases/decreases with a larger amount when the buttons are pressed for a longer time, otherwise the increase/decrease is the normal amount. Also when the max/min is reached the buttons should disable.
I have a style based on a Slider which contains 2 buttons of type HoldButton (up/down, derived from RepeatButton) and a readonly TextBlock for the Value.
In the HoldButton i have 2 dependency properties for an ICommand. These are ClickAndHoldCommand and ClickCommand which are executed from either the OnPreviewMouseLeftButtonDown() or OnPreviewMouseLeftButtonUp() depending on the length of the mouse button press. In the xaml these are bound to Slider.IncreaseLarge and Slider.IncreaseSmall respectively.
How can i disable the up button when the max is reached and disable the down button when the min is reached? The difficulty is that when i for example disable the slider, the up mouse event does not work anymore...

You should extend the Slider control and implement the logic there.
Finally name the RepeatButton elements and move the Style to the Generic.xaml file.
public class CustomSlider : Slider
{
static CustomSlider()
{
DefaultStyleKeyProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(CustomSlider), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(typeof(CustomSlider)));
}
public override void OnApplyTemplate()
{
base.OnApplyTemplate();
this.PART_IncreaseButton = GetTemplateChild(nameof(this.PART_IncreaseButton)) as UIElement;
this.PART_DecreaseButton = GetTemplateChild(nameof(this.PART_DecreaseButton)) as UIElement;
}
protected override void OnValueChanged(double oldValue, double newValue)
{
base.OnValueChanged(oldValue, newValue);
if (this.PART_IncreaseButton == null
|| this.PART_DecreaseButton == null)
{
return;
}
this.PART_IncreaseButton.IsEnabled = newValue < this.Maximum;
this.PART_DecreaseButton.IsEnabled = newValue > this.Minimum;
}
private UIElement PART_IncreaseButton { get; set; }
private UIElement PART_DecreaseButton { get; set; }
}
Generic.xaml
Name the HoldButton elements "PART_IncreaseButton" and "PART_IncreaseButton" so that you can find them easily in the template.

Using IValueConverter to enable button

I am trying to learn how to use the IValueConverter to enable/disable controls (in this case a button) using the boolean-property of an item selected in a listbox. The button in question is the "TestButton". I believe I have the XAML for it setup correctly but it does not enable when I add and select a user defined item or disable when I select one of the other items in the listbox. The listbox contains a list of "Drink" objects that can be added to. When one is added it becomes a user defined item. Now I believe I am missing something but I am not sure what. Any help will be appreciated.

First, try compiling.. the designer is made aware of new classes only after compilation. if after compilation this isn't resolved- post your entire XAML document, and c# code for that class. Make sure the namespace and using statements are visible.

WPF ListBox Custom Control issues

In WPF, I am creating a simple custom control for my TODO program. It should do the following:
Show up as a ListBox with an Add and Remove button above it.
The Add and Remove buttons should add and remove items from my base class.
I have this working
On pressing F2, I want the list box items to change into a TextBox control.
My main issues/Questions are:
On OnKeyDown, I get the error: This operation is valid only on elements that have this template applied. How do I get around this? This is where I want to press F2, and to be able to make the TextBox visible and Label invisible.
Is there a better way to do this? If my control is a container for buttons AND a text box, should I not be inheriting from ListBox? Should I inherit from Control instead and make it a container?
If so, how do I implement it? Do I basically use the following code in the style, and remove the overrides like OnKeyDown and instead register the KeyDown event for the Textbox? I'll give that a try after this post but let me know if you have any advice.
I had something close working before, in the following code, but now I want this moved from my main Window XAML to the custom control code, and I want to be able to edit on button press:
<!-- In my MainWindow.XAML -->
<TaskDashControls:ListBoxWithAddRemove x:Name="listBoxItems" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="3" Grid.RowSpan="3"
ItemsSource="{Binding}">
<TaskDashControls:ListBoxWithAddRemove.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<DockPanel>
<Button DockPanel.Dock="Left" Click="SelectItemClick">SELECT</Button>
<TextBlock x:Name="LabelDescription" Visibility="Visible" DockPanel.Dock="Left" Text="{Binding Description}" Height="25" Width="150" />
<TextBox x:Name="EditableDescription" Visibility="Collapsed" DockPanel.Dock="Left" Text="{Binding Description}" Height="25" Width="150" />
<Button DockPanel.Dock="Left" Click="EditTaskItemClick">EDIT</Button>
</DockPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</TaskDashControls:ListBoxWithAddRemove.ItemTemplate>
</TaskDashControls:ListBoxWithAddRemove>
I have now removed the DataTemplate, to move it over to the custom control:
<!-- In my MainWindow.XAML -->
<TaskDashControls:ListBoxWithAddRemove x:Name="listBoxItems" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="3" Grid.RowSpan="3"
ItemsSource="{Binding}"/>
Here is the custom control in Generic.XAML:

}
}
I would create a class for TODO with Properties: String Desc, Visibility txtBox, Visibility txtBlock. Then items source for the TaskDashControls is List TODO. In xaml you can bind the visibilty property. In the TODO class you can control that when one is visible the other is not.
