Essentially i want to do as the title says, if the columnwidth is .50 then the rectangle should be red, if it's .75 then it should be amber, and if it's 1 then it should be green.
I thought I could achieve this with DataTriggers but for some reason I am getting "Object Reference Not Set To An Instance Of An Object" error, here is my code, am I missing something here?
FYI the width property will be changed in the backend through a timer_tick event.
<Grid x:Name="Grid1" Width="300" Height="30">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition x:Name="MyColumn1" Width=".50*"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition x:Name="MyColumn2" Width=".50*"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=MyColumn1,Path=Width}" Value=".50*">
<Setter TargetName="rect" Property="Fill" Value="Red"></Setter>
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=MyColumn1,Path=Width}" Value=".75*">
<Setter TargetName="rect" Property="Fill" Value="Yellow"></Setter>
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=MyColumn1,Path=Width}" Value="1">
<Setter TargetName="rect" Property="Fill" Value="Green"></Setter>
</DataTrigger>
</Grid.Triggers>
<Rectangle x:Name="rect" Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"></Rectangle>
<Rectangle Grid.Column="1" Fill="Blue"></Rectangle>
</Grid>
