I have a multiselect Combobox usercontrol and a dependency property 'SelectedItems'. I m trying to use the usercontrol and bind the 'SelectedItems' to another property called 'SelectedResultItems' in my ViewModel. But I dont get any values to SelectedResultItems. Please help
Here is what i tried.
My main xaml:
<DataTemplate x:Key="TypeATemplate">
<control:MultiSelectComboBox Width="315" ItemsSource="{Binding
ResultvalueList,Mode=TwoWay,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
SelectedItems="{Binding
SelectedResultItems,Mode=TwoWay,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"/>
</DataTemplate>
My Combobox usercontrol code behind:
public static readonly DependencyProperty SelectedItemsProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("SelectedItems",
typeof(ObservableCollection<string>), typeof(MultiSelectComboBox), new
FrameworkPropertyMetadata(null,new
PropertyChangedCallback(MultiSelectComboBox.OnSelectedItemsChanged)));
public ObservableCollection<string> SelectedItems
{
get { return
(ObservableCollection<string>)GetValue(SelectedItemsProperty); }
set
{
SetValue(SelectedItemsProperty, value);
}
}
I am setting the 'SelectedItems' on click of the checkbox.
My mainviewmodel:
public ObservableCollection<string> SelectedResultItems
{
get => _selectedResultItems;
set
{
_selectedResultItems = value;
NotifyPropertyChanged(nameof(SelectedResultItems));
}
}
If this is the same as for ListView(never used MultiSelectCombobox), you cannot bind to SelectedItems
because it is a read-only property.
What I did to solve that is add the event SelectionChanged to ListView(or MultiSelectCombobox for you).
Then event would be :
private void YourComboBox_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
contexte.ResultItems = YourComboBox.SelectedItems.Cast<YourItem>().ToList();
}
Maybe there is a different way to do it, but until now that's the easiest way I found.
