If select this combobox, I want to change the itemssource of the datagrid.
Are there any examples related to this?
You can do the following:
Create a WPF project.
Create a view (xaml) with the combobox and datagrid inside it.
Create a view model for this newly created view and declare public properties (collection/list) for the ItemsSource of the combobox and the grid. Also have a property for the selected item of the combobox.
Set this view model as the data context of your view.
In the setter of the combobox's selected item - change the property which is bound to the datagrid's ItemsSource to the collection that you by calling a method or however you wish.
I did this:
Add the namespace for caliburn in xaml
xmlns:cal="http://www.caliburnproject.org"
Here is the combobox:
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding ComboBoxItemSource}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItem}" cal:Message.Attach="[Event SelectionChanged] = [ComboBoxSelectionChanged()]" />
and the viewmodel should be having this method:
public void ComboBoxSelectionChanged()
{
// here based on the SelectedItem you can change the ItemSource for the dataGrid.
}
Whenever you are changing the selectedItem of Combobox the method will get hit and based on the logic that you need you can assign the ItemSource for the dataGrid.
Hope this helps :)
I have a dev express grid control in my user control and want to bind my textbox.text to the selected row of grid control.
I used a textbox.text = {binding elementname=gridcontrolname path=selecteditem.name but it didn't work.i'm not using MVVM and my grid control is bind to an observable collection
In your xaml code you put this:
<TextBox Text="{Binding ElementName=gridcontrolename, Path=SelectedItem.name}"/>
Pay attention to upper and lower case. SelectedItem.Name is not the same thing as selecteditem.name
I'm using MVVM pattern and C#, I public a ReadOnlyCollection property from View-Model,
In View, there is a TabControl that ItemsSource property is Binding to this ReadOnlyCollection Property.
How can I know which item is being selected from View-Model?
If ReadOnlyCollection cannot do this, what type should i use?
Thank you.
You can bind to the SelectedItem property of the TabControl to an additional property in your ViewModel.
Check MSDN for all the properties of TabControl.
I'm trying to bind combobox editor in a PropertyGrid to a list.
<dxprg:PropertyGridControl SelectedObject="{Binding SelectedEmployee}">
<dxprg:PropertyDefinition Path="EmployeeCountryID">
<dxprg:PropertyDefinition.EditSettings>
<dxe:ComboBoxEditSettings
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=DataContext.Countries, ElementName=rootWindow}"
ValueMember="CountryId" DisplayMember="CountryName" />
</dxprg:PropertyDefinition.EditSettings>
</dxprg:PropertyDefinition>
</dxprg:PropertyGridControl>
This example is from a third-party control but the problem may be just general.
The "rootWindow" DataContext has been set to a ViewModel which holds a property List(of Country) that I want have as ItemsSource in a Combobox.
I was trying to access that list by setting the Combobox ItemsSource to the rootWindow.DataContext.Countries property but I don't get any data.
Tried also all those RelativeSource FindAncestor bindings but no data appeared either.
Why can't I bind through a DataContext of a given element like this?
This became solved. The problem was not with the binding at all but realated to how I defined the third-party control: Instead of EditSettings I should have defined CellTemplate -> DataTemplate.
I've got a TabControl in my WPF application. The TabControl's ItemsSource is bound to an ObservableCollction of view objects. It uses a DataTemplate to populate the visual tree for the tabs from the Items in the collection.
I need to be select the current tabs in the conde-behind in response to actions the user takes on another screen in the application. When I iterate over the items in the TabControl's Items collection, I get the instances of my view models.
How do I access the actual TabItems and iterate over them, then select the one I want?

If you're using a MVVM approach you should bind your TabControl's SelectedItem property to the same object that holds your ObservableCollection of TabItems (the ViewModel). When you need to change the current tab set the SelectedItem property to the correct TabItem in the ObservableCollection.
