DataForm commit button is not enabled when data changed.
- by Grayson Mitchell
This is a weird problem. I am using a dataform, and when I edit the data the save button is enabled, but the cancel button is not.
After looking around a bit I have found that I have to implement the IEditableObject in order to cancel an edit. Great I did that (and it all works), but now the commit button (Save) is grayed out, lol. Anyone have any idea's why the commit button will not activate any more?
Xaml
<df:DataForm x:Name="_dataForm"
AutoEdit="False"
AutoCommit="False"
CommandButtonsVisibility="All">
<df:DataForm.EditTemplate >
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Name="rootPanel"
Orientation="Vertical"
df:DataField.IsFieldGroup="True">
<!-- No fields here. They will be added at run-time. -->
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</df:DataForm.EditTemplate>
</df:DataForm>
binding
DataContext = this;
_dataForm.ItemsSource = _rows;
...
TextBox textBox = new TextBox();
Binding binding = new Binding();
binding.Path = new PropertyPath("Data");
binding.Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay;
binding.Converter = new RowIndexConverter();
binding.ConverterParameter = col.Value.Label;
textBox.SetBinding(TextBox.TextProperty, binding);
dataField.Content = textBox;
// add DataField to layout container
rootPanel.Children.Add(dataField);
