Well, let's look at your particular case...
Since your model property seems to match the item in the list (Correct me if I'm wrong), you don't need to worry about the SelectedValue/Path properties. So take those out of your first combo, and that one should work just fine.
As for the second one, you want its ItemsSource to change based on the SelectedCategory, right? Whatever your LoadDefects function is modifying, that's what you want the second combo's ItemsSource to bind to.
You should also have a SelectedDefect property (Or something of the sort), that the second combobox should bind to in its SelectedItem property. The LoadDefects function can set the SelectedDefect to an initial guess when it updates the collection.
So in your case, I don't think you really need SelectedValue/Path at all.

You were right, did not need all of those properties. I see your point about the SelectedDefect, but it is ok to leave it blank when the user changes the category as I am relying on IDataErrorInfo to ensure that the user does not leave it blank.
This was the final product (For now):
public Observation SelectedItem
{
get { return _selectedItem; }
set
{
if (_selectedItem == value)
return;
_selectedItem = value;
_selectedCategory = _con.Categories.Where(c => c.id == value.Defect.categoryId).FirstOrDefault();
OnPropertyChanged("SelectedItem");
OnPropertyChanged("SelectedCategory");
LoadDefects(_selectedCategory.id);
}
}
public Category SelectedCategory
{
get { return _selectedCategory; }
set
{
if (value == null) return;
_selectedCategory = value;
OnPropertyChanged("SelectedCategory");
LoadDefects(_selectedCategory.id);
}
View:
public Observation SelectedItem
{
get { return _selectedItem; }
set
{
if (_selectedItem == value)
return;
_selectedItem = value;
_selectedCategory = _con.Categories.Where(c => c.id == value.Defect.categoryId).FirstOrDefault();
OnPropertyChanged("SelectedItem");
OnPropertyChanged("SelectedCategory");
LoadDefects(_selectedCategory.id);
}
}
public Category SelectedCategory
{
get { return _selectedCategory; }
set
{
if (value == null) return;
_selectedCategory = value;
OnPropertyChanged("SelectedCategory");
LoadDefects(_selectedCategory.id);
}
Maybe I should change the _selectedCategory to derive from my AllCategories observable collection instead. Either way, this works. Thank you.

I created the following button style. I want to set the image's opacity to 50% when the button is disabled. I have the Image.Style code in there, but how do I bind the IsEnabled to the button? See my comment in line.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type controls:FlatButton}"
x:Key="FlatButtonStyle">
<Setter Property="Height" Value="35"/>
<Setter Property="Width" Value="80"/>
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="2"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type controls:FlatButton}">
<Border x:Name="TheBorder"
Background="Transparent"
BorderBrush="#6F6F6F"
BorderThickness="0"
CornerRadius="2">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Source="{TemplateBinding ImageSource}"
Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="0"
Width="16"
Height="16"
Margin="3,0,2,0"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Stretch="Fill">
<Image.Style>
<Style TargetType="Image">
<Style.Triggers>
<!--How do I bind to the IsEnabled property on the button?-->
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Opacity" Value="0.5" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Image.Style>
</Image>
<TextBlock Text="{TemplateBinding Caption}"
Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="1"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Margin="10"
Foreground="#5D5D9D"
FontSize="12"
TextWrapping="WrapWithOverflow"/>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver"
Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="TheBorder"
Property="BorderThickness"
Value=".5">
</Setter>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

You just need to add another trigger in the Buttons triggers like so:-
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="TheBorder" Property="BorderThickness" Value=".5"></Setter>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter TargetName="img" Property="Opacity" Value="50" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
That assumes that the image control in the style is given a name "img".
Hope this helps

hello all.
I need a tip for good coding. I'm in my first stemps in WPF and i have a srollviewer with button inside that work nice. Now i need to provide another collection of button or another scrollviewer. i mean, the rest of the project dont change, only the scrollviewer.
what is the best way for that?
i hope i explained the issue.
Thanks.

I am afraid your question is not very clear. Could you try and expand it to make it clearer on what you would like to do.

sorry. i will try again.
i have a finished project when i have a scrollviewer with a collection of button inside.
now i want to create the option to open another collection of button in the same project, replacing the old one if the option was select.
in the .cs side i think i can do easly, but maybe, there is a xaml good coding option.

Create 2 button collections/containers, bind the visibility property to the option control so only 1 is visible based on the user selection.

I'm totally agree with Mycroft Holmes. Don't forget to create a Converter for Visibility Enumeration.

Why? If the property you use to control the visibility is a boolean there is a built in BooleanToVisibilityConverter.

What, where, I have one I use in my utils but I didn't know there was a built in one (Silverlight). I also have various NOT converters

I'm not sure about Silverlight (I mainly stick with WPF), but in WPF 4 you can find details of it here[^]. Most people who worked with pre WPF4 have their own implementation of this control - MS was informed that there should be a default version.

Hi there. In Silverlight you must apply a converter to Visibility enumeration. Remember that Visibility property is an enumeration not a Boolean =)

Go back to the start of the thread. The OP stated he was using WPF.

Ups. Sorry for that.

Do some research into navigation (assuming you do not just want an HTML page) here are the results of a search [^]in this forum, plenty of rich pickings in there.

You can use Microsoft Prism[^] where your main screen is divided into regions.
Views (xamls) can then be removed and added to these regions.
Removing and adding views gives an effect of navigating across the application.
