I'm fairly to WPF and C# and slowly learning its vastness.
What I thought would be easy doesn't seem so easy to my brain. Here's my checkbox XAML:
<DataGridTemplateColumn Width="SizeToHeader" Header="FAI">
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Path=fai}" Checked="FAI_CheckBox_Checked" Unchecked="FAI_CheckBox_Unchecked" />
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn>
And after ticking this I want to check another checkbox, which is currently:
<DataGridCheckBoxColumn Binding="{Binding Path=user_fai}" Width="Auto" Header="User FAI" Visibility="Visible" IsReadOnly="True"/>
So, for the first checkbox, I have my events created, but no idea now how to proceed, even after much searching the internet for an answer. Is this the correct route? Can it all be done in XAML?

If you always want the two checkboxes to have the same state, why not bind them to the same member?
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Path=fai}" />
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Path=fai, Mode=OneWay}" IsReadOnly="True" Width="Auto" Header="User FAI" Visibility="Visible" />
Otherwise, use the view model:
public bool fai
{
get { return _fai; }
set
{
_fai = value;
OnPropertyChanged();
if (value) user_fai = true;
}
}

Thanks for your help Richard. I have indeed decided to go down the MVVM path, so thank you for the pointer.

I have my WPF main project, and have a second project called Controls. Controls is referenced i the main project.
In controls I have a UserControl called HyperlinkView:
<TextBlock>
<pre>
<Hyperlink Command="{Binding LinkClickCommand}"
Click="Hyperlink_Click">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding LinkText}"/>
</Hyperlink>
There are 2 DP's in the code behind for the LinkText and LinkClickCommand, as well as the event handdler for the Click.
Now in my Main project I an dynamically added these HyperlinkView controls at run time.
The question is this... How do I apply a style to this control from within the Main project? For this control I may want the font size to be 24 and the foreground to be Teal. How do I apply styling to both the hyperlink and the textbox from within my Main project?

The easiest way would be to create a named style and apply that. This would be applied to the TextBlock inside your HyperLink.

So give both the Link and textblock names, then create a named style for them in my Main project?

But in the style, how do you specified which element in the control the style items are applied to?
How do you apply a stlye to each of the elements in the control from with in the style?
<Style x:Key="HyperlinkViewStyle"
TargetType="{x:Type myControls:HyperlinkView}">
How do do style the TextBlock or the Hyperlink in here?
</Style>

I realize that this is not a Telerik forum but I also poured through their forums to no avail. Long story short, I am using NHibernate to hydrate my viewmodels and exposing complex objects with their related objects to my view. The issue is that in my grid I have a combobox column that has a collection of objects from the viewmodel, the selectedvalue of which will update the object of the selected item. When I change the combobox everything is great, everything is talking back and forth, all is well. But when I close the control and reopen it, it does not select any value for the column.
All code is cut for brevity:
View:
<telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn x:Name="Client"
ItemsSource="{Binding Clients}"
DataMemberBinding="{Binding Client}"
DisplayMemberPath="Name"
SelectedValueMemberPath=""
Header="Client"
Width="125" />
ViewModel:
public ObservableCollection<Client> Clients { get; private set;}
Entity:
public class Claim : Entity<int>
{
public virtual Client Client { get; set; }
}
NHibernate Mapping
public ClaimMap()
{
Table("Claim");
LazyLoad();
Id(x => x.Id).GeneratedBy.Identity().Column("id");
References(x => x.Client).Column("clientId").Not.Nullable();
}
}
}
I am sure I could just expose the id values on the Claim object and wire it up that way but it really is swimming against the current of NHibernate to do so.
Thoughts?

My guess would be that you're not using TwoWay binding.

Trying to show enum descriptions in a DataGrid DataGridComboBoxColumn . here's my XAML so far:
<Window.Resources>
<wpfconv:EnumDescriptionConverter x:Key="EnumDescriptionConverter" />
<ObjectDataProvider MethodName="GetValues"
ObjectType="{x:Type sys:Enum}"
x:Key="accessEnums">
<ObjectDataProvider.MethodParameters>
<x:Type TypeName="enums:AccessLevel" />
</ObjectDataProvider.MethodParameters>
</ObjectDataProvider>
</Window.Resources>
and
<DataGridComboBoxColumn Header="Access"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource accessEnums}, Mode=OneWay}"
SelectedItemBinding="{Binding Access}"
Width="100">
</DataGridComboBoxColumn>
and the enum:
public enum AccessLevel
{
[Description("No Acccess")]
NoAccess = 0,
[Description("Full Acccess")]
HasAccess = 1
}
When I run it I see the enum value in the combo, not the descriptions. Can someone show me how to do this?
Thanks

That is clear, because you are not telling the WPF to actually write the Description to the rendering; as I believe, it is just trying to call a simple ToString and then writing what is found there.
For this thread, it is pretty much clear that what you need to do is you need to create a converter for your binding and then read the DescriptionAttribute of the current enum value. Then render that Description in the returning object. You might need to implement the converter, and then add that as an object.

I'm trying to extend the WPF dataGrid so I can bind to SelectedItems when SelectionMode = Extended.
First I have this
public class DataGridEx : DataGrid
{
public DataGridEx()
{
this.SelectionChanged += CustomDataGrid_SelectionChanged;
}
public IList SelectedItemsList
{
get { return (IList)GetValue(SelectedItemsListProperty); }
set { SetValue(SelectedItemsListProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty SelectedItemsListProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("SelectedItemsList", typeof(IList), typeof(DataGridEx), new PropertyMetadata(null));
private void CustomDataGrid_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
this.SelectedItemsList = this.SelectedItems;
}
}
Then my XAML
<ctrls:DataGridEx x:Name="_ScenariosTable"
Grid.Column="1"
Grid.Row="6"
SelectionMode="Extended"
ItemsSource="{Binding Scenarios}"
SelectedItemsList="{Binding SelectedScenarios, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}">
and finally my View Model
private List<Scenario> _SelectedScenarios;
public List<Scenario> SelectedScenarios
{
get { return _SelectedScenarios; }
set
{
if (_SelectedScenarios != value)
{
_SelectedScenarios = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("SelectedScenarios");
}
}
}
The binding works because the SETTER is called, yet 'value' is always null.
What's wrong here?
Thanks

According to the comments on this StackOverflow answer[^], it should work if you use IList instead of IList<T> in your viewmodel.

I have this combo box:
<ComboBox Grid.Row="1"
Grid.Column="0"
ItemsSource="{Binding Categories}"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedRight.Category}"
IsEnabled="{Binding RightsFieldsEnabled}"
Width="250"
Margin="2"
Style="{StaticResource comboBoxStyle}">
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Category}"
FontSize="14"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
</ComboBox>
When a Category is selected is saves it correctly to the Category property of the Right entity. However, when the data is reloaded the correct Category is not selected in the combo.
What am I doing wrong here?

Chances are that your objects and lists are (some sort of) based on the instance properties or fields of the object that is bound. Did you try any static fields here (try making the data source static and then see if that has any effect on reload)?

You are trying to bind the item attribute to the selected item. Change it to display value and selected item id. Sorry I am on a pad with no vs.

My enum:
public enum AccessLevel
{
[Description("No Acccess")]
NoAccess = 0,
[Description("Full Acccess")]
HasAccess = 1
}
My Right entity
public class RightEntity : _EntityBase
{
private string _RightName = string.Empty;
public string RightName
{
get { return _RightName; }
set
{
if (_RightName != value)
{
_RightName = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("RightName");
}
}
}
private AccessLevel _Access = AccessLevel.NoAccess;
public AccessLevel Access
{
get { return _Access; }
set
{
if (_Access != value)
{
_Access = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("Access");
}
}
}
}
The view
<Window.Resources>
<wpfconv:EnumDescriptionConverter x:Key="EnumDescriptionConverter" />
<ObjectDataProvider MethodName="GetValues"
ObjectType="{x:Type sys:Enum}"
x:Key="accessEnums">
<ObjectDataProvider.MethodParameters>
<x:Type TypeName="enums:AccessLevel" />
</ObjectDataProvider.MethodParameters>
</ObjectDataProvider>
</Window.Resources>
and
<ComboBox Grid.Row="7"
Grid.Column="0"
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource accessEnums}}"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedRight.Access}"
IsEnabled="{Binding RightsFieldsEnabled}"
Width="125"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Style="{StaticResource comboBoxStyle}"
Margin="2">
<pre>
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Converter={StaticResource EnumDescriptionConverter}}"
FontSize="14"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
Problem: When I load the combo list the enum descriptions show fine. I then edit a record and save, then reload the list. I then get an exception in the converter in the Convert method:
object IValueConverter.Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
Enum myEnum = (Enum)value;
string description = GetEnumDescription(myEnum);
return description;
}
Not really sure what's happening. Am I doing this right? Anyone see what's wrong?

Can you try the following code and see if this works?
object IValueConverter.Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(value as string)) {
Enum myEnum = (Enum)value;
string description = GetEnumDescription(myEnum);
return description;
} else {
}
}

Hello,
I am trying to make an app to schedule real life tasks. My main purpose is to learn how to switch between views with commands. Switching between views has partially worked.
My "app" has a main window, with a few buttons(like a horizontal menu bar), and a content control area below the menu buttons, where i display views associated with the buttons.
I managed somehow to make the buttons to switch to my views.
My first 2 views are the "HomeView" and "AddEditView".
In my HomeView i have a listview that is displaying the tasks from my database. On my listview i have attached a contextmenu with 3 options/buttons: Add Task, Edit Task, Remove Task.
I want o make the contextmenu options/buttons to take me to the AddEditView so i can Add/Edit my selected task.
I have tried to bind the contextmenu buttons to the main window buttons and commands, but most likely i did something wrong. I have also tried to link my HomeViewModel with the MainWindowViewModel , but when i am newing up a MainWindowViewModel object in my HomeViewModel i get the following error
An unhandled exception of type 'System.StackOverflowException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
pointing to
public TaskLINQToSQLClassesDataContext() :

What should i do? Is there other piece of code i should post?

So, your architecture here has your ViewModels creating instances of each other in the constructor. This is why you are getting a stack overflow. If I were writing this, I would have a parent ViewModel that was responsible for creating this child ViewModels, and use that one to choose which VM was current.
