I have an app that when I click a button loads a new tabitem with a usercontrol. This works fine, but... When I click the Add button again, another tabitem is added with a new instance of the usercontrol. Here comes the problem. When I add some data in tab1 and switch to tab2, I also see the entered data there. How is this possible? I use a new viewmodel for each usercontrol so how can both usercontrols on tab1 and tab2 show the same data. It will probably be something stupid, but I can't find it...
Structure is like this: MainWindow loads a UserControl with only a tabcontrol on it. After clicking an Add button in the menu a new tabitem is added with a new usercontrol on it..
There are here on SO some issues that look like this but are different..
Here's some code.
TabControl.xaml:
<Grid>
<TabControl x:Name="tabControl"
ItemsSource="{Binding TabItems}"
SelectedIndex="0">
<TabControl.Resources>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type ViewModel:OverviewViewModel}">
<my:OverviewControl />
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type ViewModel:MemberViewModel}">
<my:MemberControl />
</DataTemplate>
</TabControl.Resources>
<TabControl.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="TabItem">
<Setter Property="Header"
Value="{Binding Header}" />
</Style>
</TabControl.ItemContainerStyle>
</TabControl>
</Grid>
TabControl.cs
public TabControl()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.DataContext = new TabViewModel(true);
}
TabViewModel has a DP which holds the tabitems:
public static readonly DependencyProperty TabItemsProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("TabItems", typeof(ObservableCollection<ITabViewModel>), typeof(TabViewModel), new UIPropertyMetadata(new ObservableCollection<ITabViewModel>()));
public ObservableCollection<ITabViewModel> TabItems
{
get { return (ObservableCollection<ITabViewModel>)GetValue(TabItemsProperty); }
set { SetValue(TabItemsProperty, value); }
}
The usercontrol which gets loaded on the tabitem, MemberControl.cs
public MemberControl()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.DataContext = new MemberViewModel{};
}
The MemberControlViewModel:
private MemberModel _memberModel = new MemberModel();
public MemberViewModel()
{
Address = new AddressViewModel();
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty FirstNameProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("FirstName", typeof(string), typeof(MemberViewModel), new UIPropertyMetadata(string.Empty, OnFirstNameChanged));
public string FirstName
{
get { return (string)GetValue(FirstNameProperty); }
set { SetValue(FirstNameProperty, value); }
}
public static void OnFirstNameChanged(DependencyObject m, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var d = m as MemberViewModel;
if (d._memberModel != null)
d._memberModel.FirstName = d.FirstName;
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty LastNameProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("LastName", typeof(string), typeof(MemberViewModel), new UIPropertyMetadata(string.Empty, OnLastNameChanged));
public string LastName
{
get { return (string)GetValue(LastNameProperty); }
set { SetValue(LastNameProperty, value); }
}
public static void OnLastNameChanged(DependencyObject m, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var d = m as MemberViewModel;
if (d._memberModel != null)
d._memberModel.LastName = d.LastName;
}
etc...
And then at last the Command on my menu that actually adds the membercontrol as an new tabitem on the tabcontrol:
private void LoadNewMember(object notUsed)
{
_tabViewModel.TabItems.Add(new MemberViewModel { Header = "New Member" });
_addOverview.RaiseCanExecuteChanged();
}
Somewere along the way I do something wrong with the binding, but as said, I can't find it..
Thx for any help.
