POCustom UserControl "IsEnabled" data binding not working
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a kinda awful problem with my WPF application right now...</p> <p>I have a custom UserControl used to edit details of a component. It should start by being not enabled, and become enabled as soon as the user chose a component to edit.</p> <p>The problem is: the IsEnabled property does not even change.</p> <p>Here is my code:</p> <pre><code><my:UcComponentEditor Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" IsEnabled="{Binding EditorEnabled}" DataContext="{Binding VmComponent}" /> </code></pre> <p>EditorEnabled is a property in my ViewModel (VmComponent), and is by default false, becomes true when the user chose a component or created one</p> <p>Just for the record, in my ViewModel:</p> <pre><code>private Boolean _editorEnabled = false; public Boolean EditorEnabled { get { return _editorEnabled; } set { _editorEnabled = value; OnPropertyChanged("EditorEnabled"); } } </code></pre> <p>When I try to launch my app, the UserControl is starting... enabled. I added breakpoints everywhere, the EditorEnabled is false from the beginning.</p> <p>I also did a horribly stupid thing to try to figure out what's happening: I created a converter (so useful -- converting a boolean to boolean -- eh), put a breakpoint on it, and... The code is never reached.</p> <pre><code><my:UcComponentEditor Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" IsEnabled="{Binding EditorEnabled, Converter={StaticResource BoolConverter}}" DataContext="{Binding VmComponent}" /> </code></pre> <p>That probably means that the property isEnabled is never set, since the converter is never reached.</p> <p>Do you see any kind of problem there? I started working in WPF about one week ago and therefore I may have missed something essential...</p> <p>Thank you very much for your time :-)</p>
