binding combobox to another combobox in wpf
<Grid> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="50"/> <RowDefinition Height="50"/> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <ComboBox Height="23" ItemsSource="{Binding Cars}" DisplayMemberPath="Name" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="244,10,0,0" Name="comboBox1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120"/> <ComboBox Height="23" Grid.Row="1" ItemsSource="{Binding SelectedItem.Series, ElementName=comboBox1}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="244,10,0,0" Name="comboBox2" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120"/></Grid> public partial class MainWindow : Window{ public MainWindow() { InitializeComponent(); Cars = new ObservableCollection<Car>(); Cars.Add(new Car() { Name = "Peugeut", Series = new ObservableCollection<string>() { "106", "206", "306" } }); Cars.Add(new Car() { Name = "Ford", Series = new ObservableCollection<string>() { "406", "506", "606" } }); Cars.Add(new Car() { Name = "BMW", Series = new ObservableCollection<string>() { "706", "806", "906" } }); DataContext = this; } public ObservableCollection<Car> Cars { get; set; }}public class Car{ public string Name { get; set; } public ObservableCollection<string> Series { get; set; }}
I hope this will help.
Unless you look up the data I don't think you can do it with just XAML. If, however, you created a class to bind your combo boxes you could have a class with something like:
public class CarMake{ public string Make {get; set;} public List<string> Models {get; set;}}
Then in your first combo box, just bind to an instance of List with the info populated, then bind the second combo box like:
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=FirstComboBox, Path=SelectedItem.Models}" ></ComboBox>
That should get you going...
Try to add the items in box2 programmtically when ComboBox1 item is selected by user.
if (combobox1.SelectedText == "Peurgeut") { box2.Items.Add("106"); box2.Items.Add("206"); box2.Items.Add("306"); }
