WPF Expander IsExpanded binding

netraju picture netraju · Feb 1, 2010 · Viewed 18k times · Source

I have an Expander control with its IsExpanded property bound to a bool in the mvvm model. The binding works fine until you dont touch the expander. Once you click the arrow in the expander to expand, the binding stops working. Setting the bool ShowPreview to false in the model doesn't collapse the expander.

<Expander Name="pExpander" 
          IsExpanded="{Binding Path=ShowPreview,Mode=OneWay}"
          Header="Preview">
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Message, Mode=OneWay}"></TextBlock>    
</Expander>

If you remove Mode=OneWay does that fix the problem?

Upon reading your other CTQ (changes to the GUI do not affect the model), I don't have a good suggestion for how to limit the change being seen by the underlying data. What is the difference in:

myModel.MyProperty = true; // in *your* code behind

And

myModel.MyProperty = true; // done by a binding
