I installed ItemsSourcefrom ListBoxto a collection ObservableCollection<Employee>, and my class Employeeimplements INotifyPropertyChanged.
In EmployeeI connected several properties, one of which is a property Color, and I was convinced that it raises an event PropertyChangedwhen it changes. I also checked with a debugger that the call was invoked PropertyChanged.
However, when the data binding Backgroundto ListBoxItemthe bound ListBoxdoes never update , which is extremely amazing.
Setting it ItemsSourceto null and resetting it after work, but this does not mean that we should use the Observer pattern.
Used XAML:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
<Style.Resources>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.ControlBrushKey}"
Color="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightColor}" />
</Style.Resources>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="Background"
Value="{Binding Path=Color, Converter={StaticResource ColorConverter}}" />
<Setter Property="Content" Value="{Binding Path=Name}" />
<Setter Property="Height" Value="25" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,1,0,1" />
<EventSetter Event="MouseDoubleClick" Handler="HelperList_MouseDoubleClick" />
</Style>
<ListBox x:Name="helperList" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1"
Margin="5,2,0,5" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
SelectionChanged="HelperList_SelectionChanged">
</ListBox>
More code in response to the first answer:
public class Employee : Person
{
private EmployeeColor color = new EmployeeColor();
public EmployeeColor Color
{
get { return this.color; }
set
{
if(!this.color.Equals(value))
OnPropertyChanged("Color");
this.color = value;
}
}
}
var employees = new ObservableCollection<Employee>();
helperList.ItemsSource = employees;
