may be a noob question, but how do I find the DataContext of my Control in datatrigger...? I can't bind to the text Property, since the Stringformat this is not the bound value... I don't want to bind directly to myText, since this style should apply in a ResDic and the Bound Property of the Textblocks may vary (as Stringformat may too)....
Actually I need the bound value of the actual Textblock to compare...
<TextBlock Text="{Binding myText, StringFormat='This Text is: {0}'}">
<TextBlock.Style>
<Style TargetType="TextBlock">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="????"
Value="555">
<Setter Property="Foreground"
Value="Red" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</TextBlock.Style>
</TextBlock>

Without converter approach :
<TextBlock>
<TextBlock.Inlines>
<Run Text="This Test is : "/>
<Run x:Name="RunMyText" Text="{Binding myText}"/>
</TextBlock.Inlines>
<TextBlock.Style>
<Style TargetType="TextBlock">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Blue" />
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Text, ElementName=RunMyText}" Value="555">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</TextBlock.Style>
</TextBlock>
Using converter :
public class MyTextConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
return Int32.Parse(value.ToString());
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}
XAML :
<TextBlock Text="{Binding myText, StringFormat= 'This Text is: {0}'}">
<TextBlock.Resources>
<local:MyTextConverter x:Key="MyTextCnvKey"/>
</TextBlock.Resources>
<TextBlock.Style>
<Style TargetType="TextBlock">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding myText, Converter={StaticResource MyTextCnvKey}}"
Value="555">
<Setter Property="Foreground"
Value="Red" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</TextBlock.Style>
</TextBlock>
