How binding the ToolTip property from within the DataTemplate to the property of the parent UserCont-CodePudding

How binding user control dependecy property? I want ToolTip dependency property IsEnabled to bind from UserControl dependency property IsShowToolTip. I try RelativeSource, but this can't find source.

In UserControl i have:

        public bool IsShowToolTip
        {
            get { return (bool)GetValue(IsShowToolTipProperty); }
            set { SetValue(IsShowToolTipProperty, value); }
        }

        public static readonly DependencyProperty IsShowToolTipProperty =
            DependencyProperty.Register("IsShowToolTip", typeof(bool), typeof(SideMenuView), new PropertyMetadata(false));

In xaml:

<UserControl>
    <ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
        ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
        ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
        <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <StackPanel Margin="0,0,0,12">
                    <RadioButton Content="{Binding MenuName}"
                                 GroupName="MainMenuButton"
                                 Command="{Binding ChangeViewCommand}">
                        <RadioButton .ToolTip>
                            <ToolTip Content="{Binding MenuName}" Placement="Right" HorizontalOffset="8"
                                     IsEnabled="{Binding IsShowToolTip, ?}">
                            </ToolTip>
                        <RadioButton.ToolTip>
                    <RadioButton >
                    <ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding SubItems}"
                             ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
                             ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
                             VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>
                </StackPanel>
            </DataTemplate>
        </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
    </ItemsControl>
</UserControl>

CodePudding user response：

Give the UserControl a name,

<UserControl x:Name="MyUserControl">

Then reference it in the binding expression

IsEnabled="{Binding ElementName=MyUserControl, Path=IsShowToolTip}">

And Replace

new PropertyMetadata(false)

With

new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(false, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.BindsTwoWayByDefault)

Is there any way to make it work?

A bit of voodoo magic... :)

</UserControl>

P.S. This is one of the solutions. In addition to using StaticResource, you can also pass values through the DataContext. But it is usually occupied by the ViewModel. You can also make a proxy not entirely for the object, but only for the necessary properties.

    }

    public class MyProxy : Freezable
    {
        public bool IsToolTipEnabled
        {
            get { return (bool)GetValue(IsToolTipEnabledProperty); }
            set { SetValue(IsToolTipEnabledProperty, value); }
        }

        // Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for SideMenuView.  This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
        public static readonly DependencyProperty IsToolTipEnabledProperty =
            DependencyProperty.Register(nameof(IsToolTipEnabled), typeof(bool), typeof(MyProxy), new PropertyMetadata(true));


        protected override Freezable CreateInstanceCore()
        {
            throw new System.NotImplementedException();
        }
    }

CodePudding user response：

You could simply bind the ToolTipService.IsEnabled attached property of the RadioButton to your dependency property like this:

<DataTemplate>
    <StackPanel Margin="0,0,0,12">
        <RadioButton Content="{Binding MenuName}"
                     GroupName="MainMenuButton"
                     Command="{Binding ChangeViewCommand}"
                     ToolTipService.IsEnabled="{Binding IsShowToolTip, 
                        RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=UserControl}}">
            <RadioButton.ToolTip>
                <ToolTip Content="{Binding MenuName}" Placement="Right" HorizontalOffset="8" />
            </RadioButton.ToolTip>
        </RadioButton>
    </StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
