I'm trying to bind a TextBox to the selected date on a Calendar control, and when it initializes, there is no issue. The problem is that after, when I change the selected date, the TextBox remains at its initial value (today). I have tried 3 methods, including simply returning to TextBox.Text = Calendar.DisplayDate.ToString(), but the problem persists.
Does anybody know either what causes this, or a way around it?
Note that PropertyChanged is not null in Method 2.
My code is as follows, with the other two methods implemented:
XAML:
<Calendar Grid.Column="1" Height="170" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="calStart" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="180" IsTodayHighlighted="False" SelectedDatesChanged="CalStartSelectedDatesChanged">
<Calendar.CalendarDayButtonStyle>
<Style>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Converter={StaticResource conv}}" Value="1">
<Setter Property="Button.Background" Value="LightGreen" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Calendar.CalendarDayButtonStyle>
</Calendar>
<TextBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="34,33,0,0" Text="{Binding StartBindProp, Mode=OneWay}" Name="txtStartDate" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" />
C# Method 1:
private void CalStartSelectedDatesChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
StartBindProp = calStart.DisplayDate.ToString();
}
public string StartBindProp
{
get { return (string)GetValue(StartBindPropProperty); }
set { SetValue(StartBindPropProperty, value); }
}
// Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for StartBindProp. This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
public static readonly DependencyProperty StartBindPropProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("StartBindProp", typeof(string), typeof(MainControl), new UIPropertyMetadata(""));
Method 2:
private void CalEndSelectedDatesChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
EndBind = calEnd.DisplayDate.ToString();
}
private string m_EndBind = "endtest";
public string EndBind
{
get { return m_EndBind; }
set
{
m_EndBind = value;
if (null != PropertyChanged)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs("EndBind"));
}
}
}
Thanks for the help!
EDIT: The following xaml has the same issue (and apparently renders the calendar read-only):
<TextBox Text="{Binding ElementName=calStart, Path=DisplayDate, Mode=OneWay}" />
