WPF ComboBox SelectedValue not updating from binding source.
- by vg1890
Here's my binding source object:
Public Class MyListObject
Private _mylist As New ObservableCollection(Of String)
Private _selectedName As String
Public Sub New(ByVal nameList As List(Of String), ByVal defaultName As String)
For Each name In nameList
_mylist.Add(name)
Next
_selectedName = defaultName
End Sub
Public ReadOnly Property MyList() As ObservableCollection(Of String)
Get
Return _mylist
End Get
End Property
Public ReadOnly Property SelectedName() As String
Get
Return _selectedName
End Get
End Property
End Class
Here is my XAML:
<Window x:Class="Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1"
>
<Window.Resources>
<ObjectDataProvider x:Key="MyListObject" ObjectInstance="" />
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<ComboBox Height="23"
Margin="24,91,53,0"
Name="ComboBox1"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
SelectedValue="{Binding Path=SelectedName, Source={StaticResource MyListObject}, Mode=OneWay}"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=MyList, Source={StaticResource MyListObject}, Mode=OneWay}"
/>
<Button Height="23"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Margin="47,0,0,87"
Name="btn_List1"
VerticalAlignment="Bottom"
Width="75">List 1</Button>
<Button Height="23"
Margin="0,0,75,87"
Name="btn_List2"
VerticalAlignment="Bottom"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
Width="75">List 2</Button>
</Grid>
</Window>
Here's the code-behind:
Class Window1
Private obj1 As MyListObject
Private obj2 As MyListObject
Private odp As ObjectDataProvider
Public Sub New()
InitializeComponent()
Dim namelist1 As New List(Of String)
namelist1.Add("Joe")
namelist1.Add("Steve")
obj1 = New MyListObject(namelist1, "Steve")
.
Dim namelist2 As New List(Of String)
namelist2.Add("Bob")
namelist2.Add("Tim")
obj2 = New MyListObject(namelist2, "Tim")
odp = DirectCast(Me.FindResource("MyListObject"), ObjectDataProvider)
odp.ObjectInstance = obj1
End Sub
Private Sub btn_List1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles btn_List1.Click
odp.ObjectInstance = obj1
End Sub
Private Sub btn_List2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles btn_List2.Click
odp.ObjectInstance = obj2
End Sub
End Class
When the Window first loads, the bindings hook up fine. The ComboBox contains the names "Joe" and "Steve" and "Steve" is selected by default. However, when I click a button to switch the ObjectInstance to obj2, the ComboBox ItemsSource gets populated correctly in the dropdown, but the SelectedValue is set to Nothing instead of being equal to obj2.SelectedName.
Thanks in advance!
