In WPF, how do I get a command in a Control Template to bind to a property in a parent?_问答_开发者

I am relatively new to WPF and sometimes it makes my head explode. However, I do like the power behind it, especially when used with the MVVM model.

I have a ControlTemplate that contains a Button. I use that ControlTemplate inside of a custom control. I want to add a property on the custom control that will bind to the command property of the Button inside the ControlTemplate. Basically, it is a ComboBox with a Button to the right of it to allow a user to pop up a search dialog. Since this control could appear on a usercontrol multiple times, I need to be able to potentially bind each control to a different command (search products, search customers, etc).

However, I have been unable to figure out how to do this.

Here is some sample XAML:




        
            
        
    

<Style TargetType="{x:Type m:SelectionFieldControl}">
    <Setter Property="LookupTemplate" Value="{StaticResource LookupTemplate}" />
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type m:SelectionFieldControl}">
                <Border BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding Border.BorderThickness}" 
                            Padding="{TemplateBinding Control.Padding}" 
                            BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding Border.BorderBrush}" 
                            Background="{TemplateBinding Panel.Background}" 
                            SnapsToDevicePixels="True"
                            Focusable="False">
                    <Grid>
                        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" MinWidth="0" 
                                              SharedSizeGroup="{Binding LabelShareSizeGroupName, 
                                                                        RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, 
                                                                               AncestorType={x:Type m:BaseFieldControl}}}" />
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" 
                                              SharedSizeGroup="{Binding WidgetsShareSizeGroupName, 
                                                                        RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, 
                                                                               AncestorType={x:Type m:BaseFieldControl}}}" />
                        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

                        <!-- Customized Value Part -->
                        <ComboBox x:Name="PART_Value" 
                                  Grid.Column="1"
                                  Margin="4,2,0,1" 
                                  SelectedValue="{Binding Path=SelectionField.Value, 
                                                          RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, 
                                                                                         AncestorType={x:Type m:SelectionFieldControl}}}"

                                  IsEnabled="{Binding Field.IsNotReadOnly,
                                                      RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type m:SelectionFieldControl}}}"
                                  Visibility="{Binding Field.IsInEditMode, Converter={StaticResource TrueToVisible},
                                                       RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type m:SelectionFieldControl}}}"

                                  FontFamily="{StaticResource FontFamily_Default}" FontSize="11px">
                            <ComboBox.ItemsPanel>
                                <ItemsPanelTemplate>

                                </ItemsPanelTemplate>
                            </ComboBox.ItemsPanel>
                        </ComboBox>

                        <StackPanel Grid.Column="2" 
                                    Orientation="Horizontal" 
                                    Name="PART_Extra"
                                    Focusable="False">

                            <ContentControl Name="PART_LookupContent"
                                            Template="{Binding LookupTemplate, 
                                                               RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, 
                                                                                              AncestorType={x:Type m:Se开发者_Go百科lectionFieldControl}}}" 
                                            Focusable="False"/>
                        </StackPanel>
                    </Grid>
                </Border>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

I thought I could get it to work by doing something like this:

<Button Command="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type SelectionFieldControl}}, Path=ShowSearchCommand}" Margin="2" />

but it does not work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Doh!

That does work. The problem was that my dependency property didnt use UIPropertyMetadata for the property Meta data when registering the property.

public ICommand ShowSearchCommand { get { return (ICommand)GetValue(ShowSearchCommandProperty); } set { SetValue(ShowSearchCommandProperty, value); } }



    public static readonly DependencyProperty ShowSearchCommandProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register("ShowSearchCommand", typeof(ICommand),
            typeof(SelectionFieldControl),
            new UIPropertyMetadata(OnShowSearchCommandChanged));

    static void OnShowSearchCommandChanged(DependencyObject sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {

    }
