I have class a that keeps track of video streams, and for simplicity I group like properties in a sub classes using auto properties to access them. I then bound the whole class to an BindingList, but only the None Nested Properties show up. How can i get the Nested Properties to show up also?
public class Stream: : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public bool InUse {
get { return _inUse; }
set {
_inUse = value;
OnPropertyChanged("InUse");
}
}
}
....
internal SubCodec Codec { get; set; }
internal class SubCodec
{
public string VideoCodec
{
get { return _audioCodec; }
set {
_audioCodec = value;
OnPropertyChanged("AudioCodec");
}
}
....
}
You need to fire OnPropertyChanged
of the parent type, not on the child type.
public class Stream : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private SubCodec _codec;
internal SubCodec Codec
{
get
{
return _codec;
}
set
{
_codec = value;
//note that you'll have problems if this code is set to other parents,
//or is removed from this object and then modified
_codec.Parent = this;
}
}
internal class SubCodec
{
internal Stream Parent { get; set; }
private string _audioCodec;
public string VideoCodec
{
get { return _audioCodec; }
set
{
_audioCodec = value;
Parent.OnPropertyChanged("VideoCodec");
}
}
}
}
It may be simpler to put the Stream
in the constructor of SubCodec
and not allow it to be changed. It would be one way of avoiding the problems I mention in the comment of the Codec
set method.
