I'm attempting to use a data-trigger on a style to change a property.
In compliance with the "Minimal, Complete and Verifiable Example" requirements...
To reproduce, first create a WPF application in Visual Studio.
Within the App.xaml.cs :
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows;
namespace Foo{
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for App.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class App : Application, INotifyPropertyChanged {
private bool _clicked;
public bool Clicked {
get { return this._clicked; }
set {
this._clicked = value;
this.PropertyChanged?.Invoke(
this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs( "Clicked" ) );
}
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
}
}
Within the MainWindow.xaml :
<Window
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:lib="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Foo"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
mc:Ignorable="d" x:Class="Foo.MainWindow"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Window.Resources>
<lib:Boolean x:Key="True">True</lib:Boolean>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<Button x:Name="button" Click="button_Click">
<Viewbox>
<TextBlock Text="Unclicked">
<TextBlock.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger
Binding="{Binding
Clicked,
Source={x:Static Application.Current}}"
Value="{StaticResource True}">
<Setter Property="Text" Value="Clicked" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</TextBlock.Style>
</TextBlock>
</Viewbox>
</Button>
</Grid>
</Window>
Within the MainWindow.xaml.cs -
using System.Windows;
namespace Foo{
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class MainWindow : Window {
public MainWindow( ) {
InitializeComponent( );
}
private void button_Click( object sender, RoutedEventArgs e ) {
( Application.Current as App ).Clicked = !( Application.Current as App ).Clicked;
}
}
}
As a side note - I tried setting the value of the data trigger to just "True"
, and that also did not work ( the trigger did not catch, and text did not change based on setting the property to a new value ).
So why is the data-trigger not catching or working here? ( Either with the static resource or the literal value )? Even more relevant - why am I getting this error? The "After a 'DataTrigger' is in use (sealed), it cannot be modified" error? And what is the proper method of accomplishing what I am trying to do here? ( Preferably still using a data-trigger and not a converter, since I do need to switch between two values ).
