ColorEditBox Validation

Posted 13 years ago by Actipro Software Support - Cleveland, OH, USA

Hi Jake,

If you want to explicitly update the target of a binding when the ColorEditBox closes you'd need to:

1. Add a handler for the DropDownClosed event
2. Get the BindingExpression associated with the ColorEditBox.Value property
3. Call it's UpdateTarget method

Hi,
I overrode ColorEditBox with this code, but it didn't help. Any idea?

    public class ColorView : ColorEditBox
    {
        protected override void OnDropDownClosed(System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnDropDownClosed(e);

            BindingOperations.GetBindingExpressionBase(this, ColorEditBox.ValueProperty).UpdateTarget();
        }
    }

Thanks,
Jake

Hi Jake,

Sorry, I'm not sure why it's not working. The ColorEditBox.Value should be updated by that time. If you can please put together a small sample project that reproduces your issue and email it over then we can take a closer look. Be sure to remove any executables or change the extension of the zip file to ensure it gets past our email filters.

Hi,
I found a solution on Stackoverflow. I added a modifier to the binding expression so it looks like this:

<v:ColorView Value="{Binding Colors.BinSome, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />

The latest build of this product (v24.1.3) was released 24 days ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
