in my window I have buttons for load and save methods. I use CommandBinding and the save-button has a CanExecute property to keep the user from saving the data before it is loaded.
The CanExecute-Methode is connected to a simple bool value called "canSaveXML"
private void Save_CanExecute(object sender, CanExecuteRoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (canSaveXML == false)
{
e.CanExecute = false;
}
else
{
e.CanExecute = true;
}
e.Handled = true;
}
My intention is to set canSaveXML = true after the data was loaded but the control does not refresh after the value did change. I did some reading and found out I have to call CommandManager.InvalidateRequerySuggested. I do that now and my code looks like this.
canSaveXML = true;
CommandManager.InvalidateRequerySuggested();
But the control (button) still does not refresh. I still is disabled untill I trigger anything on the UI or minimixe/maximize the window. After I did that the button is enabled.
What is wrong here?
In a MSDN sample CommandManager.InvalidateRequerySuggested is called with a dispatchertimer again and again but I refuse to believe that would be the only solution.
