I want to create a user control that contains one combo box and a content control. The choice made in the combo box should determine the data template the content control would use. I've read this article which pretty much demonstrates what I am trying to achieve.
The combo box is filled with the enum ModelType
values, which can be Person
or Company
. If the user chooses Person
, the content control should use the personTemplate
data template; and companyTemplate
for Company
.
I got stuck with the XAML code for the content control. Here is what I have created but I can't make it work:
<UserControl.Resources>
...
<DataTemplate x:Key="personTemplate" ...>
<DataTemplate x:Key="companyTemplate" ...>
...
</UserControl.Resources>
...
<ContentControl x:Name="Account">
<ContentControl.ContentTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding AccountType}" Value="Person">
<!-- I doubt the Value property is set correctly. -->
<!-- It should be a value of an enum ModelType -->
<Setter
TargetName="Account"
Property="ContentTemplate"
Value="{StaticResource personTemplate}" />
<!-- The setter is unaware of the target name, i.e. content control -->
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding AccountType}" Value="Company">
<Setter
TargetName="Account"
Property="ContentTemplate"
Value="{StaticResource companyTemplate}" />
</DataTrigger>
</DataTemplate.Triggers>
</DataTemplate>
</ContentControl.ContentTemplate>
</ContentControl>
Please help, thanks.
