Dependency Property Binding and Update in Custom Control?

Look for binding errors in the Visual Studio output window. I think you'll find something telling you the binding on the check box has failed.

I have created a simplified version of my code that experiences the same issue. The issue is that I'm not sure why the dependency property in my custom control is not updating when it gets changed in the model. Model: public class MainWindowModel : INotifyPropertyChanged { private bool isChecked; public bool IsChecked { get { return isChecked; } set { isChecked = value; OnPropertyChanged("IsChecked"); } } public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged; void OnPropertyChanged(string prop) { if (this.

PropertyChanged! = null) this. PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(prop)); } } XAML: Code Behind: public partial class MainWindow : Window { MainWindowModel model; public MainWindow() { InitializeComponent(); model = new MainWindowModel(); this.

DataContext = model; } private void CustomTextbox_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e) { model. IsChecked = true; } private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { if (TextboxName. CustomTextboxItems0.

IsChecked) { TextboxName. Text = "Property successfully changed"; } } } Custom Control: public class CustomTextbox : TextBox { public CustomTextbox() { CustomTextboxItems = new ObservableCollection(); } public ObservableCollection CustomTextboxItems { get; set; } } public class CustomTextboxItem : FrameworkElement { public static readonly DependencyProperty IsCheckedProperty = DependencyProperty. Register("IsChecked", typeof(bool), typeof(CustomTextboxItem), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(false, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.

BindsTwoWayByDefault)); public bool IsChecked { get { return (bool)GetValue(IsCheckedProperty); } set { SetValue(IsCheckedProperty, value); } } } As you can see in the custom control, I have a collection of items that contain objects with dependency properties that I want to bind to. So I create the objects in the xaml and setup the binding, but when I update the binded property in the model, it doesn't change it in the custom control. Any ideas?

Look for binding errors in the Visual Studio output window. I think you'll find something telling you the binding on the check box has failed. Your CustomTextBox control has a collection of CustomTextBoxItem objects, against which you're setting a binding.

However, at no point are you adding those items to the logical tree. Read my post here to see how to add those items to the logical tree.

Thank you very very much! – gamzu07 Jan 19 '11 at 14:48.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
