Error boxes remain when collapsing categories - Grids for WPF Forum

Posted 13 years ago by Rick Edwards - UK

Version: 11.1.0545

Hi all,

I've been implementing the classic red box error decorators to our property grid and noticed an interesting issue when collapsing a category in so far as the red boxes remain visible even though the editors disappear when the category is collapsed by toggling an expander. This leads to the error border or box simply floating in the middle of the property grid.

Any ideas as to how to fix this, I'm assuming it's an issue with our error templates not being bound to some expander event maybe? I've some images I can email if it helps to visualise the problem.

Thanks for any advice.

Rick

Hi Rick,

This is a known issue with WPF. The workaround is explained here. But basically, you need to do something like:

<ControlTemplate>
    <ControlTemplate.Resources>
        <BooleanToVisibilityConverter x:Key="converter" />
    </ControlTemplate.Resources>
    <Border BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="Red"
            Visibility="{Binding ElementName=placeholder, Path=AdornedElement.IsVisible, Converter={StaticResource converter}}">
        <AdornedElementPlaceholder x:Name="placeholder" />
    </Border>
</ControlTemplate>
