how to detect when data binding to UI elements (panorama and listbox) have completed in windows phone 7?
i have a Panorama control and ListBox controls inside the Panorama. is there any "event" that i can hook on to or any way to detect when all the data binding or UI display associated with the Panorama and/or ListBox controls are finished?
the reason i need to detect this event is because i want to show the ApplicationBar only after the Panorama 开发者_如何学运维and/or ListBox controls have completely binded and finished rendering.
for example, my XAML is defined as the following.
<controls:Panorama Name="panorama">
<controls:Panorama.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Details}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Field1}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Field2}"/>
...
<TextBlock Text="{Binding FieldN}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</DataTemplate>
</controls:Panorama.ItemTemplate>
</controls:Panorama>
my plain-old CLR object (POCO) looks like the following.
public class MyPoco {
List<Detail> Details { get; set; }
}
public class Detail {
public string Field1 { get; set; }
public string Field1 { get; set; }
...
public string FieldN { get; set; }
}
in my c# code-behind, i bind the data as follows.
List<MyPoco> pocos = GetMyPocosFromSomewhere();
panorama.ItemsSource = myList;
ApplicationBar.IsVisible = true; //i only want to make this visible after the Panorama and ListBox controls have finished binding and rendering
right now, the code as i have sketched out above works, but the ApplicationBar is always visible before the Panorama/ListBox controls have rendered. to me, this makes the user experience awkward.
any help is appreciated.
Short answer would be "no, you can't detect it".
But a good solution is to add the command to the UI work queue aka. the Dispatcher. Like this:
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() => ApplicationBar.IsVisible = true);
That way, it'll first render it, when all the other UI tasks are done, and the experience shouldn't be so awkward.
