I have the following XAML snippet:
<TextBox x:Name="FilterTB" TextChanged="FilterTB_TextChanged"/>
<Button x:Name="CancelFilterSelectionButton" FontWeight="Bold" Content="X"/>
I'd like to erase the content of the TextBox when the user presses the Button.
Of course doing so from Code Behind is a trivial task, but I wanted to accomplish it only through the use of XAML, and so using Triggers.
I tried researching on the net, but I either found uncorrect solutions, or overly-convoluted solutions, so I'd like to hear some clean and compact solutions.
Here I had a spare minute, hope this helps, cheers.
namespaces;
xmlns:i="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Interactivity;assembly=System.Windows.Interactivity"
xmlns:ei="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Expression.Interactivity.Core;assembly=Microsoft.Expression.Interactions"
and easy peasy.
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center">
<TextBox x:Name="ThatThangToClear" Width="250"/>
<Button x:Name="ClearThatThang" Content="Clear That Thang" Margin="5,0">
<i:Interaction.Triggers>
<i:EventTrigger EventName="Click">
<ei:ChangePropertyAction
TargetName="ThatThangToClear"
TargetObject="{Binding ElementName=ThatThangToClear}"
PropertyName="Text" Value="{x:Null}"/>
</i:EventTrigger>
</i:Interaction.Triggers>
</Button>
</StackPanel>
Oh, and P.S. - You really only need either TargetName
OR TargetObject
but I included both for examples sake.
