I have some problems with a WPF custom control, I'm trying to make it work but just don't get it:
Here is my problem, I'm creating a simple custom control that's almost the same to a TextBox. This control has a dependency property named "Texto", and the binding between the XAML and back-code of the custom control works fine, here is the code:
<UserControl x:Class="WpfCustomControlLibrary1.UserControl1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="47" d:DesignWidth="147">
<Grid Height="43" Width="142">
<TextBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,8,0,0" Name="textBox1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120" Text="{Binding Texto}"/>
</Grid>
And the dependency property code:
public static readonly DependencyProperty TextoProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Texto", typeof(string), typeof(UserControl1));
public string Texto
{
get
{
return (string)GetValue(TextoProperty);
}
set
{
SetValue(TextoProperty, value);
}
}
Ok, now the problem: When I use this control in other windows I try to bind the "Texto" property to a viewmodel (as simple as everything else) but the property on the view model just dont change:
The ViewModel code:
public class ViewModelTest
{
public string SomeText { get; set; }
}
And the code of the applicatoin Window:
public ViewModelTest test;
public Window1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show(test.SomeText);
MessageBox.Show(uc.Texto);
}
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
test = new ViewModelTest();
this.DataContext = test;
}
And the binding with the property of the view model:
<my:UserControl1 HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="27,12,0,0" Name="uc" VerticalAlignment="Top" Texto="{Binding Path=SomeText,Mode=TwoWay}"/>
Just for make it clearer, if I write "Hello" in the custom control and then I push the "button1", the first message shows nothing and the second message shows "Hello".
As you can see I'm fairly new into this, so I hope some of you can help me. Thanks.
