ToolStripComboBox.SelectedItem change does not propagate to binding source
- by Marius
My binding is set up as this:
_selectXAxisUnitViewModelBindingSource = new BindingSource();
_selectXAxisUnitViewModelBindingSource.DataSource = typeof(SelectXAxisUnitViewModel);
_selectedUnitComboBoxBindingSource = new BindingSource();
_selectedUnitComboBoxBindingSource.DataSource = _selectXAxisUnitViewModelBindingSource;
_selectedUnitComboBoxBindingSource.DataMember = "AvailableUnits";
_selectedUnitComboBox.ComboBox.DataSource = _selectedUnitComboBoxBindingSource;
_selectedUnitComboBox.ComboBox.DisplayMember = String.Empty;
_selectedUnitComboBox.ComboBox.ValueMember = String.Empty;
_selectedUnitComboBox.ComboBox.DataBindings.Add("SelectedItem",
_selectXAxisUnitViewModelBindingSource,
"SelectedUnit", true, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged);
// this is a bug in the .Net framework: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/473777/toolstripcombobox-nested-on-toolstripdropdownbutton-not-getting-bindingcontext
_selectedUnitComboBox.ComboBox.BindingContext = this.BindingContext;
The property "AvailableUnits" is a collection of strings and the "SelectedUnit" is a string-property. Now the dropdown list is populated as expected, but when I select and item in the list, the change is not propagated to the binding source. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
