SketchFlow how to set button enabled true/false with behavior


I was trying to figure out if it is possible to set the Enabled property of a button with a ChangeProperty behavior in SketchFlow/ExpressionBlend. It doesn't appear that the Enabled property is available in the behavior. thanks! Bill


Solution

  • Here is xaml that does what you mention above (in silverlight). It works the same way in WPF. The property is named IsEnabled if that is the source of confusion:

    <UserControl
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:i="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/interactivity" xmlns:ei="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/interactions"
        x:Class="SilverlightApplication7.MainPage"
        Width="640" Height="480">
    
        <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
            <Button x:Name="button" Content="Button" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="58" Margin="225,124,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="79"/>
            <Button Content="Button" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="225,230,0,207" Width="50">
                <i:Interaction.Triggers>
                    <i:EventTrigger EventName="Click">
                        <ei:ChangePropertyAction TargetName="button" PropertyName="IsEnabled" Value="False"/>
                    </i:EventTrigger>
                </i:Interaction.Triggers>
            </Button>
        </Grid>
    </UserControl>
