There you can see guys, when I click on button Click="btnTakeIt_Click" I programaticaly change buttons text to "Order in progress." and I update field in my database IsInProgres to 1 - true, code is here:
private void btnTakeIt_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Button b = sender as Button;
CollectionViewGroup group = b.DataContext as CollectionViewGroup;
var x = group.Name;
int orderNumber = Convert.ToInt32(x);
b.BorderBrush = null;
b.Content = "Order is in progress";
b.FontSize = 12;
OrdersController.SetOrderInProgressByID(orderNumber);
}
But what is happening, because I'm refreshing my grid every 20 seconds my button content is becoming again like it's on default "Take it!" because that's whats written in XAML.
Like this:
This is my code behind (refresh every few seconds):
public MainWindow()
{
try
{
InitializeComponent();
this.WindowStartupLocation = WindowStartupLocation.CenterScreen;
this.WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;
var ordersList = OrdersController.localOrders();
collectionViewSource.Source = ordersList;
collectionViewSource.GroupDescriptions.Add(new PropertyGroupDescription("NumberOfOrder"));
DataContext = collectionViewSource;
DispatcherTimer timer = new DispatcherTimer();
timer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20);
timer.Tick += timer_Tick;
timer.Start();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var ordersList = OrdersController.localOrders();
collectionViewSource.Source = null;
collectionViewSource.Source = ordersList;
DataContext = collectionViewSource;
datagrid1.ScrollIntoView(datagrid1.Items[datagrid1.Items.Count - 1]);
}
}
So my question is could I somehow loop my localOrders and check if NumberOfOrder has IsInProgress = 1 and simply set this:
btnTakeIt.Content="Order in progress.."
So everytime my grid refresh I can loop my orders, and check is order InProgress and after that I can set button btnTakeIt content to "Order in progress.."
Or if there is any other way, I am opened to try it!
P.S I tried allready but my btnTakeIt is not accessible in code behind :(
EDIT:
void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button MyButton = FindChild<Button>(datagrid1, "btnTakeIt");
var ordersList = OrdersController.localOrders();
collectionViewSource.Source = null;
collectionViewSource.Source = ordersList;
foreach (var item in ordersList)
{
if (item.IsInProgress== true)
{
MyButton.Content = "Order is in progress";
}
}
DataContext = collectionViewSource;
}
Can I do it like this? I checked debuger and it is entering inside of if statement and when I look at breakpoint it acctualy changes content but on grid I can not see anything changed :(
EDIT:
I have to mention that my class Product is contained in my OrdersController :)

what do you think about this:
<Button Name="btnTakeIt" DataContext="{Binding Items[0]}" Content="{Binding Status}"Click="btnTakeIt_Click" Content="Take it" Margin="0,0,20,5" DockPanel.Dock="Right" FontSize="12" BorderThickness="1.5" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" Foreground="#83D744" Background="Transparent" BorderBrush="#83D744" Width="130" Height="40">
<Button.Template>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}" />
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Button.Template>
</Button>
code behind:
public static List<LocalOrders> localOrders()
{
var results = DataServices.POS.proc_GetAllOrders().ToList();
List<LocalOrders> localOrdersList = new List<LocalOrders>();
foreach (var item in results)
{
LocalOrders lokal = new LocalOrders();
if (item.IsInProgress)
{
localo.Pihvacena = true;
localo.Status = "IN PROCESS";
}
else
{
lokalne.Status = "IT IS NOT YET IN PROCESS";
}
lokal.User = item.User;
lokal.Quantity = Convert.ToInt32(item.Quantity);
lokal.Title = item.Title;
lokal.NumberOfOrder = item.NumberOfOrder;
localOrdersList.Add(lokal);
}
return localOrdersList;
}
So I can programaticaly check for status of order and set content of button like that.. is it good solution maybe?
