How to set ComboBoxItem property?

I am trying to hide an item in the Combobox when it has been selected and this is how my code looks like right now:
VeiwModel.cs
public class SortList
{
public string Key { get; set; }
public string Value { get; set; }
public bool IsSelectable { get; set; }
}
private void InitSortList()
{
ObservableCollection<SortList> sl = new ObservableCollection<SortList>();
foreach(var i in defaultSortList)
{
SortList s = new SortList();
s.Key = i.Key.ToString();
s.Value = i.Value.ToString();
s.IsSelectable = false;
sl.Add(s);
}
_items = sl;
}
private ObservableCollection<SortList> _items = new ObservableCollection<SortList>();
public ObservableCollection<SortList> Items
{
get {
return _items; }
}
private SortList _selectedSort;
public SortList SelectedItem
{
get { return _selectedSort; }
set
{
if(_selectedSort != value)
{
_selectedSort = value;
_selectedSort.IsSelectable = false;
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs("SelectedItem"));
}
}
}
MainPage.xaml
<ComboBox Header="Sort 1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
Name="Sort_1" SelectionChanged="comboSelectionChanged"
ItemsSource="{Binding Items, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItem, Mode=TwoWay}"
SelectedValuePath="Key"
DisplayMemberPath="Value"
>
<ComboBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ComboBoxItem" BasedOn="ComboBoxIem">
<Setter
Property="IsEnabled"
Value="{Binding Items.IsSelectable, Mode=TwoWay}" />
//Binding IsSelectable doesnt work either
</Style>
</ComboBox.ItemContainerStyle>
</ComboBox>
I am not sure how the Binding part works on the Setter property as I think it's not getting the IsSelectable property from the Items class....

Please refer to document here, UWP does not support bindings in Style Setters. It will not effect when you binding ItemContainerStyle style.
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Microsoft Silverlight supported the ability to use a Binding expression to supply the Value for a Setter in a Style. The Windows Runtime doesn't support a Binding usage for Setter.Value (the Binding won't evaluate and the Setter has no effect, you won't get errors, but you won't get the desired result either). When you convert XAML styles from Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) or Microsoft Silverlight XAML, replace any Binding expression usages with strings or objects that set values, or refactor the values as shared {StaticResource} markup extension values rather than Binding -obtained values.
For this scenario, A workaround could be a helper class with attached properties for the source paths of the bindings. It will create the binding expression in code behind in a PropertyChangedCallback of the helper property.
I have edited your code and xaml, please refer to the following code the implement.

How to update/convert mumeric TextBox value when changing value's unit using a ComboBox? Value normalization based on current unit?

I would like to have a converter system for my Xamarin and WPF project. I don't want to save any units in the database, so I want directly convert the textbox-values when user change the unit.
I made public a few Observable Collections like;
public class AreaList : ObservableCollection<Unit>
{
public AreaList() : base()
{
Add(new Unit("mm²"));
Add(new Unit("cm²"));
Add(new Unit("dm²"));
Add(new Unit("m²"));
}
}
public class Unit
{
private string name;
public Unit(string name)
{
this.name = name;
}
public string Name
{
get { return name; }
set { name = value; }
}
}
In the View i bind the collection to my combo box. I gave my TextBox the name of his binding property(Text="{Binding TxtBoxValue}" => x:Name="TxtBoxValue"). The ConvertUnitValueCommand set this name as a string in the view model to know which variable the converter function should use when the unit is changed.
View
<UserControl.Resources>
<c:AreaList x:Key="AreaListData" />
</UserControl.Resources>
<TextBox x:Name="TxtBoxValue"
Text="{Binding Mode=TwoWay, Path=TxtBoxValue, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}">
</TextBox>
<ComboBox IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True"
IsEditable="False"
DisplayMemberPath="Name"
SelectedItem="{Binding Unit,Mode=OneWayToSource}"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource AreaListData}}">
<i:Interaction.Triggers>
<i:EventTrigger EventName="PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown">
<i:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding ConvertUnitValueCommand}"
CommandParameter="{Binding ElementName=TxtBoxValue, Path=Name}" />
</i:EventTrigger>
</i:Interaction.Triggers>
</ComboBox>
ViewModel
private string ConvertControlName;
private void ConvertUnitValue(object obj)
{
ConvertControlName = obj.ToString();
}
public Unit Unit
{
get => Get<Unit>();
set
{
if (ConvertControlName != null)
{
FieldInfo variable = this.GetType().GetField(ConvertControlName, BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
//Get the Value from setted Binding Variable
double oldValue = (double)variable.GetValue(this);
//Convert the value
if (oldValue > 0)
{
double newValue = Converts.ConvertUnitValue(Unit, value, oldValue);
variable.SetValue(this, newValue);
}
Set(value);
}
}
Maybe anyone can give me some inspiration to do it better.

The following example normalizes the user input to the base unit m²:
Unit.cs
public class Unit
{
public Unit(string name, decimal baseFactor)
{
this.Name = name;
this.BaseFactor = baseFactor;
}
#region Overrides of Object
/// <inheritdoc />
public override string ToString() => this.Name;
#endregion
public string Name { get; set; }
public decimal BaseFactor { get; set; }
}
ViewModel.cs
public class ViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public ViewModel()
{
this.Units = new List<Unit>()
{
new Unit("mm²", (decimal) (1 / Math.Pow(1000, 2))),
new Unit("cm²", (decimal) (1 / Math.Pow(100, 2))),
new Unit("dm²", (decimal) (1 / Math.Pow(10, 2))),
new Unit("m²", 1)
};
}
private void NormalizeValue()
{
this.NormalizedValue = this.UnitValue * this.SelectedUnit.BaseFactor;
}
private List<Unit> units;
public List<Unit> Units
{
get => this.units;
set
{
this.units = value;
OnPropertyChanged();
}
}

{
get => this.selectedUnit;
set
{
this.selectedUnit = value;
OnPropertyChanged();
NormalizeValue();
}
}

{
get => this.unitValue;
set
{
this.unitValue = value;
OnPropertyChanged();
NormalizeValue();
}
}
private decimal normalizedValue;
public decimal NormalizedValue
{
get => this.normalizedValue;
set
{
this.normalizedValue = value;
OnPropertyChanged();
}
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
{
this.PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
ManiWindow.xaml

<TextBlock Text="{Binding NormalizedValue}" />
</StackPanel>
</Window>
Reusable solution
A reusable solution would be to create a custom control, which derives from TextBox and encapsulates the normalization logic and the control design.
The following custom control NormalizingNumericTextBox extends TextBox and converts two way from non-normalized value to normalized and back.
It is basically a TextBox aligned with a ComboBox as Unit selector.
It may not be perfect, but it is ready to use and it just took me about 10 minutes to merge the previous answer into this custom control.
NormalizingNumericTextBox supports any type of unit describing a numeric value.
Just bind the NormalizingNumericTextBox.Units property to collection of any kind of Unit implementation e.g. weight, length, currency, etc.
Bind to NormalizingNumericTextBox.NormalizedValue to get/set the normalized value. Setting this property will convert the value to the current NormalizingNumericTextBox.SelectedUnit.
Bind to NormalizingNumericTextBox.Text for the raw input value.
Ensure that the default Style (see below) is added to the ResourceDictionary inside /Themes/Generic.xaml. Customize this Style to customize appearance.

I have not much idea about your code impact but I would suggest you try below design which uses MVVM Pattern which removes tight coupling between UI and Backend.
I have separate out the things here
your XAML will have code like
<TextBox x:Name="unitTextbox"
Text="{Binding Path=Value, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}">
</TextBox>
<ComboBox IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True"
IsEditable="False"
DisplayMemberPath="Name"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedUnit}"
ItemsSource="{Binding AvailableUnits}">
</ComboBox>
Your ViewModel will be like
public class MainVm : Observable
{
#region Private Fields
private double _value;
private ObservableCollection<Unit> _availableUnits;
private Unit _selectedUnit;
private Unit _previouslySelected;
#endregion Private Fields
#region Public Constructors
public MainVm()
{
_availableUnits = new ObservableCollection<Unit>()
{
new Unit("mm²"),
new Unit("cm²"),
new Unit("dm²"),
new Unit("m²")
};
}
#endregion Public Constructors
#region Public Properties
public double Value
{
get
{
return _value;
}
set
{
if (_value != value)
{
_value = value;
OnPropertyChanged();
}
}
}
public Unit SelectedUnit
{
get { return _selectedUnit; }
set
{
_previouslySelected = _selectedUnit;
_selectedUnit = value;
// call to value conversion function
// convert cm² to mm² or anything
Value = UnitConvertor.Convert(_value, _previouslySelected.Name, _selectedUnit.Name);
OnPropertyChanged();
}
}
public ObservableCollection<Unit> AvailableUnits => _availableUnits;
#endregion Public Properties
}
My Observable class will be like
public class Observable : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
#region Public Events
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
#endregion Public Events
#region Protected Methods
protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
{
var handler = PropertyChanged;
if (handler != null)
{
handler(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
#endregion Protected Methods
}
better to use an enum for units

How to update a listView after execution of image trigger inside ViewModel in Xamarin?

I have a class Product
public class Product:ObservableObject, IKeyObject
{
[SQLite.PrimaryKey]
public string Id { get; set; } //this is cause i am using sqlite
//other properties
public bool IsFavorite { get; set; }
}
I also have a ViewModel ProductVm that inherits from BaseViewModel and this class BaseViewModel inherits from ObservableObject like
public abstract class BaseViewModel : ObservableObject
{
protected INavigation Navigation;
private bool _isBusy;
public bool IsBusy
{
get => _isBusy;
set { _isBusy = value; OnPropertyChanged(); }
}
protected BaseViewModel(INavigation navigation)
{
this.Navigation = navigation;
}
protected BaseViewModel()
{
}
}
public abstract class ObservableObject : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged = delegate { };
public void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string name = "")
{
PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(name));
}
}
Now, ViewModel Product has an ObservableCollection<Product>
and a command
inside a page PageProduct, there is a binding of the view model so list can be updated depending on changes on a listView ProductResults
public class ProductVm : BaseViewModel
{
private ObservableCollection<Product> _productResults = new ObservableCollection<Product>();
public ObservableCollection<Product> ProductResults
{
get => _productResults ;
set { _productResults = value; OnPropertyChanged(); }
}
public ICommand FavoriteProductCommand
{
get;
set;
}
private void FavoriteProduct(Product product)
{
//here I tried traversing the ObservableCollection<Product>
// and then update the value with the product.IsFavorite value
//the item gets updated but the GUI does not
var item = _productResults.FirstOrDefault(i => i.Id == product.Id);
if (item != null)
{
item.IsFavorite = product.IsFavorite;
}
}
public ProductVm()
{
FavoriteProductCommand= new Command<Product>(FavoriteProduct);
}
Now inside PageProduct (named MyProductPage so I could use command and pass a product object in ViewModel) I have listView ProductFeed, and inside it has a grid that contains a button and an image, this image loads pincturea.png if product.IsFavorite is false, in other case it loads pinctureb.png I do this by using triggers like:
<ListView x:Name="ProductFeed"
HasUnevenRows="true"
ItemsSource="{Binding ProductResults}">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<Grid WidthRequest="30"
HeightRequest="30">
<Image BackgroundColor="Transparent"
IsOpaque="True"
x:Name="ImgFavorite"
>
<Image.Triggers>
<DataTrigger TargetType="Image"
Binding="{Binding IsFavorite}"
Value="false">
<Setter Property="Source"
Value="pincturea.png" />
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger TargetType="Image"
Binding="{Binding IsFavorite} "
Value="true">
<Setter Property="Source"
Value="pictureb.png" />
</DataTrigger>
</Image.Triggers>
</Image>
<Button
Command="{Binding Path=BindingContext.FavoriteProductCommand, Source={x:Reference MyProductPage}}" CommandParameter="{Binding .}"
BackgroundColor="Transparent"
BorderColor="Transparent"
Opacity="0.1">
</Button>
</Grid>
</ViewCell>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
Problem
I want that after user clicks on displayed button (that shows either pincturea.png o pinctureb.png) it updates collection value and also the GUI
so it updates the shown image
Searched solutions
After searching I saw that everybody says that it has to do with a
INotifyPropertyChanged issue, but as far as I know I already did that part
doing this
public class ProductVm : BaseViewModel
and also declaring
private ObservableCollection<Product> _productResults = new ObservableCollection<Product>();
public ObservableCollection<Product> ProductResults
{
get => _productResults ;
set { _productResults = value; OnPropertyChanged(); }
}
Other solutions involve:
listview.isRefreshing = true;
//update observableCollection
listview.isRefreshing = false;
but as I am working on ViewModel I do not have access to listview there..
What am I missing, so in my method
private void FavoriteProduct(Product product)
I can update GUI too?

You are not calling property changed in your model
Try this
public class Product:ObservableObject, IKeyObject
{
[SQLite.PrimaryKey]
public string Id { get; set; } //this is cause i am using sqlite
//other properties
private bool _isFavorite;
public bool IsFavorite
{
get => _ isFavorite;
set { _ isFavorite = value; OnPropertyChanged(); }
}
}

Why invoking command when `TreeViewItem` is expanded doesn't work?

Your binding is wrong.
You define a binding in a style that applies to each TreeViewItem. In this binding, the source is the DataContext of each TreeViewItem itself. That would be a DriveFolder or a DriveFile object.
Of course, these objects have no ExpandingCommand property, so your binding just fails.
Change your binding in such a manner that the DataContext of the TreeView is used as source (to access your view model and its command). You can use ElementName or RelativeSource, e.g. like this:
<Setter Property="bindTreeViewExpand:Behaviours.ExpandingBehaviour"
Value="{Binding DataContext.ExpandingCommand, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=TreeView}}"/>

How to Check wether the Textboxes content are valid or not and by the way make a Save Button Disable until all textboxes fill by valid data.
I googled more and more but in all scenario the answer was implementing IDataerrorInfo on the model but i using entity frameworks entity as model so can not do the implementation.
please give me some advice or links .
thanks in advance.
Below my project description:
the XAML:
<TextBox Name="txtName" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="56,42,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120" >
<TextBox.Style>
<Style TargetType="TextBox">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Validation.HasError" Value="true">
<Setter Property="ToolTip" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.Self}, Path=(Validation.Errors).CurrentItem.ErrorContent}" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</TextBox.Style>
<Binding Path="CurrentItem.Name" UpdateSourceTrigger="PropertyChanged">
<Binding.ValidationRules>
<vm:NotNullValidationRule ValidatesOnTargetUpdated="True"/>
</Binding.ValidationRules>
</Binding>
</TextBox>
and the PersonViweModel.cs
public class PersonViewModel : WorkspaceViewModel
{
SDPS.Business.Base.BaseBusiness<Person> bz = new Business.Base.BaseBusiness<Person>();
#region Constructor
public PersonViewModel(string displayTitle)
{
Items = bz.GetAll();
DisplayName = displayTitle;
NewCommand = new RelayCommand(p => NewItem());
SaveCommand = new RelayCommand(p => SaveItem());
UpdateCommand = new RelayCommand(p => UpdateItem(), p => CanUpdateOrDelete);
DeleteCommand = new RelayCommand(p => DeleteItem(), p => CanUpdateOrDelete);
}
#endregion
#region Methods
private void NewItem()
{
CurrentItem = new Person();
}
private void SaveItem()
{
bz.Add(CurrentItem);
Items.Add(CurrentItem);
}
private void DeleteItem()
{
bz.Delete(CurrentItem);
Items.Remove(CurrentItem);
OnPropertyChanged("Items");
OnPropertyChanged("CurrentItem");
}
public void UpdateItem()
{
bz.Update(CurrentItem);
OnPropertyChanged("Items");
}
#endregion
#region Properties
public Person CurrentItem
{
get { return _CurrentItem; }
set
{
_CurrentItem = value;
OnPropertyChanged("CurrentItem");
}
}
public ObservableCollection<Person> Items
{
get { return _items; }
set
{
_items = value;
OnPropertyChanged("Items");
}
}
public bool CanUpdateOrDelete { get { return CurrentItem != null; } }
#endregion
#region Variables
private ObservableCollection<Person> _items;
private Person _CurrentItem;
#endregion
}
and the ValidationRule Class as below:
public class NotNullValidationRule : ValidationRule
{
public virtual bool HasError
{
get
{
return null;
}
}
public override ValidationResult Validate(object value, CultureInfo cultureInfo)
{
var result = new ValidationResult(true, null);
if(value!=null)
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace( value.ToString()) )
{
result = new ValidationResult(false, "null string not allowed");
}
return result;
}
}
