Enable Next button from bound property? - Wizard for WPF Forum

Posted 14 years ago by Janene McCrillis - UI Software Engineer, Wireless Seismic

Version: 9.2.0513

I'm trying to enable the Next button on my wizard only if the current page has no errors. I have validation logic that is executing properly and setting a property, "HasNoErrors", that I've bound to the NextButtonEnabled property of the Wizard. It's not working as of yet, the button is never enabled, even though I know the property has been set to true - any help appreciated. Here what I have currently:

<wizard:Wizard x:Name="wizard"
CancelButtonClosesWindow="True"
FinishButtonClosesWindow="True"
FinishButtonVisible="True"
NextButtonEnabled="{Binding Path=HasNoErrors, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}">

Thanks,

Janene

Hi Janene,

The Next button's enabled state is driven by the WizardCommands.NextPage command. However the NextButtonEnabled property should be triggering a CommandManager.InvalidateRequerySuggested call, which would update the CanExecute of that command. To sum up, I would expect it to work.

It does work in our samples (just tested), so perhaps your binding is not taking? Maybe check out your VS output window to look for binding errors.

I don't find a sample with the NextButton enabled state being set via a binding. Can you point me at it, please?

Please look at the ButtonStates QuickStart.
