WPF MenuItem IsChecked Binding not working
Anyone know why the menu item binding does not work ?
<ToggleButton Name="toggleButton" Checked="checkBoxPublish_Checked" >
<ToggleButton.Resources>
<converters:BooleanToHiddenVisibility x:Key="boolToVis"/>
</ToggleButton.Resources>
<Grid>
<Image Height="auto" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="5" Name="image1" Stretch="Fill" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="auto" />
<Viewbox >
<TextBlock Text="Blocked" Opacity="0.7" Foreground="Red" Visibility="{Binding Path=IsChecked, ElementName=toggleButton, Converter={StaticResource boolToVis}}"/>
</Viewbox>
</Grid>
<ToggleButton.ContextMenu>
<ContextMenu StaysOpen="开发者_运维技巧True" >
<MenuItem x:Name="menuItemBlock" Header="Block" Click="menuItemClick" IsCheckable="True" IsChecked="{Binding ElementName=toggleButton, Path=IsChecked}"/>
<MenuItem x:Name="menuItemIgnorePtz" Header="Ignore Ptz" Click="menuItemClick" IsCheckable="True" />
</ContextMenu>
</ToggleButton.ContextMenu>
</ToggleButton>
I'm guessing that it is the contextmenu you have problem using data binding with.
The togglebutton is not in the logical tree of the contextmenu so it can't find the togglebutton using ElementName, see Link
That is why you get an error for that binding in your output window in VS:
System.Windows.Data Error: 4 : Cannot find source for binding with reference 'ElementName=toggleButton'. BindingExpression:Path=IsChecked; DataItem=null; target element is 'MenuItem' (Name='menuItemBlock'); target property is 'IsChecked' (type 'Boolean')
To fix, look up the toggle button using FindAncestor:
<MenuItem
Header="Block"
IsCheckable="True"
IsChecked="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType=ContextMenu}, Path=PlacementTarget.IsChecked}" />
