I want the ContentTemplate to vary according to the value in the DataTrigger.
And yes, I considered using a DataTemplateSelector, but now I need a DataTrigger or better said a MultiDataTrigger.
Please take a look at the following sampe app, the DataTemplate doesn't change:
<Window x:Class="Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:src="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1">
<StackPanel>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding BoolProperty, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type src:Window1}}}" Content="BoolProperty"/>
<ContentControl Content="{Binding BoolProperty, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type src:Window1}}}">
<ContentControl.ContentTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding BoolProperty, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type src:Window1}}}" Content="Template 1"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ContentControl.ContentTemplate>
<ContentControl.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="Template2">
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding BoolProperty, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type src:Window1}}}" Content="Template 2"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ContentControl.Resources>
<ContentControl.Style>
<Style TargetType="ContentControl">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding BoolProperty, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type src:Window1}}}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{StaticResource Template2}"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ContentControl.Style>
</ContentControl>
<Button Name="btnSwitch" Content="Switch"/>
</StackPanel>
</Window>
Partial Class Window1
Public Property BoolProperty() As Boolean
Get
Return GetValue(BoolPropertyProperty)
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Boolean)
SetValue(BoolPropertyProperty, value)
End Set
End Property
Public Shared ReadOnly BoolPropertyProperty As DependencyProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("BoolProperty", GetType(Boolean), GetType(Window1), New FrameworkPropertyMetadata(False))
Private Sub btnSwitch_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles btnSwitch.Click
BoolProperty = Not BoolProperty
End Sub
End Class
