WPF: Binding an integer to a TextBlock with TemplateBinding
- by haagel
I have a custom control in WPF. In this I have a DependencyProperty of the type integer. In the template for the custom control I have a TextBlock, I and would like to show the value of the integer in the TextBlock. But I can't get it to work.
I'm using TemplateBinding. If I use the same code but change the type of the DependencyProperty to string it works fine. But I really want it to be an integer for the rest of my application to work.
How can I do this?
I've written simplified code that shows the problem. First the custom control:
public class MyCustomControl : Control
{
static MyCustomControl()
{
DefaultStyleKeyProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(MyCustomControl), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(typeof(MyCustomControl)));
MyIntegerProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("MyInteger", typeof(int), typeof(MyCustomControl), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(0));
}
public int MyInteger
{
get
{
return (int)GetValue(MyCustomControl.MyIntegerProperty);
}
set
{
SetValue(MyCustomControl.MyIntegerProperty, value);
}
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty MyIntegerProperty;
}
And this is my default template:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type local:MyCustomControl}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type local:MyCustomControl}">
<Border BorderThickness="1" CornerRadius="4" BorderBrush="Black" Background="Azure">
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<TextBlock Text="{TemplateBinding MyInteger}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
What am I doing wrong?
