An implementation of using the WPF Combo Box using MVVM patterns.
The intention is to get a ComboBox control’s SelectedItem property to bind to an instance of a selected object, so that when the SelectedItem is changed, all other entities that are bound to it are also updated. See this StackOverflow discussion for background information:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11062297/wpf-mvvm-combobox-selecteditem
Step 1: Create a new WPF project:
Step 2: Create your classes
In my example I use a ‘Languages’ class that holds a language value, such as “English” and another string to identify it, such as “en”:
Languages.cs
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
using WpfComboBox.Annotations;
namespace WpfComboBox
{
public class Language : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private string _languageValue;
private string _languageId;
public string LanguageValue
{
get
{
return _languageValue;
}
set
{
_languageValue = value;
OnPropertyChanged(nameof(LanguageValue));
}
}
public string LanguageId
{
get
{
return _languageId;
}
set
{
_languageId = value;
OnPropertyChanged(nameof(LanguageId));
}
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
[NotifyPropertyChangedInvocator]
protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
{
PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
}
And also a ViewModel class:
MainWindowViewModel.cs
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
using WpfComboBox.Annotations;
namespace WpfComboBox
{
public class MainWindowViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private Language _currentSelection;
private string _labelText;
public MainWindowViewModel()
{
CurrentSelection = Languages.First();
}
public List<Language> Languages { get; } = new List<Language>
{
new Language {LanguageValue = "English", LanguageId = "en"},
new Language {LanguageValue = "German", LanguageId = "de"},
new Language {LanguageValue = "Italian", LanguageId = "it"}
};
public Language CurrentSelection
{
get { return _currentSelection; }
set
{
_currentSelection = value;
LabelText = "Current language selected: " + _currentSelection.LanguageValue;
OnPropertyChanged(nameof(CurrentSelection));
}
}
public string LabelText
{
get { return _labelText; }
set
{
_labelText = value;
OnPropertyChanged(nameof(LabelText));
}
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
[NotifyPropertyChangedInvocator]
protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
{
PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
}
Step 3: Create your XAML view
Update the MainWindow.xaml to create the window containing the ComboBox control, as well as a Label control to display the current
language being selected:
MainWindow.xaml
<Window x:Class="WpfComboBox.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:viewModel="clr-namespace:WpfComboBox"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="Language Selection Combo Box" Height="250" Width="325">
<Window.DataContext>
<viewModel:MainWindowViewModel />
</Window.DataContext>
<StackPanel
Width="300"
VerticalAlignment="Center">
<Label
Height="60"
FontSize="14"
VerticalContentAlignment="Center"
Content="{Binding LabelText}" />
<ComboBox
Height="50"
x:Name="LanguagesComboBox"
FontSize="14"
VerticalContentAlignment="Center"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Languages}"
DisplayMemberPath="LanguageValue"
SelectedValuePath="LanguageValue"
SelectedValue="{Binding CurrentSelection.LanguageValue}"
SelectedItem="{Binding CurrentSelection}" />
</StackPanel>
</Window>
Step 4: Add the annotations file it needs
This goes into the Properties, alongside AssemblyInfo.cs:
