Here is an example from "WPF Succinctly" which is a free e-book from Syncfusion.
(I am not connected to them, so I am putting their library link here for everyone.)
<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="Border" Property="Background" Value="Purple" />
<Setter TargetName="Border" Property="BorderBrush" Value="DarkKhaki" />
</Trigger
According to the book, the data template or control template is the place to put the triggers.
Note that the property IsPressed is the property to be evaluated. In your case, it is the value of the check box, if I recall correctly. The Value property is the value you want that target property to have in order to fire the trigger. Without knowing your data structures, I am not sue what the binding is doing in your example. I am also not sure why you are using a tag instead of the value of the checkbox. If you use the template for the checkbox control, and the value of "true" is what you want to trigger the modifications, then you should be using this data template for the checkbox and use "True" on the Value property, I would think.
If I am wrong and you are selecting from multiple items as in a radio button group, then you would need to evaluate the value of the group and the trigger would be set on that.
Mind you, I am very new to WPF as well, so this is just my take on what the experts have written. I recommend both this book and some of the tutorials on line through Packtpub and Safari Online, if you have subscriptions to either.

Hi Joseph,
Thanks again for your response.
As a answer of your question, i am using tag property of checkbox because content property is already taken by another another binding property which i want to show on my checkbox. I want to fire trigger based on the tag property of checkbox because i have binded tag property to second property of binding.
<DataTemplate.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding FunctionCode}" Value="CMDSDMODIFYFEATURES">
<Setter TargetName="TheBorder" Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource MenuBackground}" />
</DataTrigger>
</DataTemplate.Triggers>
as per your post i have to use any property of datatemplate to fire, but what would be that property in my case? I am only passing binding and value as of now to my datatemplate.trigger
Wish you a very happy new year

You're attempting to bind to a property that doesn't exist. Your Tag property is actually a property of the CheckBox which is, itself, bound to a different property on your ViewModel. So, you need to set your Trigger to use the underlying property. In other words, replace Binding="{Binding Tag}" with Binding="{Binding FunctionCode}". If you'd checked your Output window when debugging your application, you'd probably have seen a binding error telling you that this was missing.

Hi Pete,
Thanks for your response!!
Actually , both ways xaml is not throwing error and neither working. As per your suggestion i have changed trigger i.e.
<DataTemplate.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding FunctionCode}" Value="CMDSDMODIFYFEATURES">
<Setter TargetName="TheBorder" Property="Background" Value="Blue" />
</DataTrigger>
</DataTemplate.Triggers>
Even after this change background color is not getting changed for checkbox holding tag value "CMDSDMODIFYFEATURES". Am i setting up a setter in correct way?
Regards

Hello Everyone,
I found the answer myself, here is how to achieve this :
<DataTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger SourceName="radioButZone" Property="Tag" Value="CMDDSDMODIFYFEATURES">
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Orange" TargetName="TheBorder"/>
</Trigger>
</DataTemplate.Triggers>
Thanks everyone for your support

Hai
I want to create a simple WPF datagrid using vb.net. I added datagrid1 and added 2 columns from designer and binded it from xaml.
XAML
<DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Path=LastName}" ClipboardContentBinding="{x:Null}" CanUserReorder="False" CanUserResize="False" Width="200" Header="LastName" HeaderStringFormat="LastName"/>
Second column
<DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Path=FirstName}" ClipboardContentBinding="{x:Null}" Header="FirstName" HeaderStringFormat="FirstName" CanUserSort="False" CanUserReorder="False" CanUserResize="False" FontSize="16" Width="100">
I use this code
<pre lang="VB.NET">
Private Sub MainWindow_Loaded(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs) Handles Me.Loaded
Dim _customers = New List(Of Customer)
DataGrid1.ItemsSource = _customers
End Sub
Private Sub button_Click(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs) Handles button.Click
&#39;Here I want to add an empty row
End Sub
Public Class Customer
Private _firstName As String
Private _lastName As String
Public Property FirstName() As String
Get
Return _firstName
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
_firstName = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property LastName() As String
Get
Return _lastName
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
_lastName = value
End Set
End Property
End Class</pre>
My problem is an empty row is automatically added below, I want only to add row in button click event
Please tell me how to do this, or is there any method without using data source
Thanks

Try setting the
.CanUserAddRows property to false on the DataGrid.

Thanks for reply it is working
Also please tell me how to add a new row in button click

No it is a serious question - scenario...
WCF with a single data access class,
A data service class for each table/view in the database. This maps a datatable to the model
A model class for each table/view in the database to be passed in a List<> to the client - implements OnPropertyChanged
WPF client that uses the WCF and retrieves List<> of the models. The client is set to reuse the WCF objects (Models)
This means I do not have to remap the WCF models to client models, however chasing down a potential memory leak I find I have multiple copies of the models in memory. I have 1 particular view with 35 master lists (servicing comboboxes) and another 7 lists used for multi selects over 2 Tabs. Fricking nightmare! This view can take between 2 and 12 seconds to load and I'm attempting to find out why.
So the question should I be passing POCO objects from the WCF and converting them to local models with the OPC implementation?

Why pass a POCO when only a scalar might be needed?
|
|
|
|
|
I pass all manner of objects, including scalar values. The point is that when I pass a list it is a List<> of a class with the OnPropertyChanged events included rather than a List<> of POCO objects. Is this likely to cause memory leaks?

The OnPropertyChanged handler is null until a presenter subscribes to it. Can't think of any other references that might cause a problem.
|
|
|
|
|
Tracked the problem down to the binding the selected object to the form, just too many comboboxes, the object has over 50 fields and binds to 30 comboboxes on the one view.
I gave them a couple of options, split the view or change to popups instead of combo boxes. The decided to live with the issue - bloody users.

I used to "virtualize" these clumsy scenarios (combo boxes) into windows with data base smart grids.
|
|
|
|
|
How did you pop the windows, button or mouse over?
This is another option I am considering as there is a lot of looking but not a great deal of modification after the object is created.

I'd pop the window on demand (e.g. F4 or a right-mouse click while a data-entry field has focus) or on trying to exit the field after typing an invalid entry. The intent was to minimize key strokes and mouse moves and maintain flow.

It would depend, I believe, on how you want to use it. If you are trying to set its visible property, for example, you might try the "Path=" or the ElementName= syntax. I am pretty new to WPF but accessing child controls of the element tree ought to be the same as when you need to bind to another element.
I hope this helps. As I said, I am sort of a beginner.

So I'm learning about Routed Events. I just found this[^] excellent blog post.
I understand what it does, but why not just do this:
public delegate void ButtonWasClickedEventHandler();
public event ButtonWasClickedEventHandler ButtonWasClicked;
private void raiseButtonWasClicked()
{
if (ButtonWasClicked != null)
{
ButtonWasClicked();
}
}
and then in the parent control:
<local:ChildControl Margin="61,87,108,95"
ButtonWasClicked="ChildControl_ButtonWasClicked"/>
and
private void ChildControl_ButtonWasClicked()
{
}
Basically, I don't see the point of the routed event. A Standard event works fine.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Hi,
I want to change silverlight 4 datepicker format as 'dd/MM/yyyy' in one page only. I tried below code
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = (CultureInfo)Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Clone();
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = (CultureInfo)Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Clone();
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy";
But It changes format in whole silverlight application. I want datepicker change format in one silverlight page only.
Please give me solution.
Thanks.
Regards,
Suchita Gorivale

You need to include Stringformat in the binding xaml.
{Binding YourDateField, StringFormat='dd/MM/yyyy'}
