IsEnabled Background Color MVVM

[Ian]

Good day,

Kindly advise how to correctly set the BackgroundColor of a SfButton control when using the control in a MVVM pattern eg

<button:SfButton
                    Text="Ok" Command="{Binding OkBC}"
                    IsEnabled="{Binding OkEnable}"
                    BackgroundColor="Blue" />

The Button when OkEnable = True is enabled and  shows correct background color = Blue.

The Button when OkEnable=False is not enabled but shows incorrect background color = White.

Warm regards

Ian

Hi Ian, 

 

Greetings from Syncfusion. 

  

We have analyzed your query and we would like to let you know that using Disabled VisualState, you can customize the appearance of SfButton. Here we have achieved your requirement by changing the background color of disabled SfButton as per in below code snippet 

  

Code snippet[XAML]: 

<button:SfButton x:Name="button" Text="Ok" Command="{Binding OkBC}" IsEnabled="{Binding OkEnable}" BackgroundColor="Blue"> 

    <VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups> 

        <VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates"> 

            <VisualState x:Name="Disabled"> 

                <VisualState.Setters> 

                    <Setter Property="BackgroundColor" Value="Red" /> 

                </VisualState.Setters> 

            </VisualState> 

            <VisualState x:Name="Normal"> 

                <VisualState.Setters> 

                    <Setter Property="BackgroundColor" Value="Blue" /> 

                </VisualState.Setters> 

            </VisualState> 

        </VisualStateGroup> 

    </VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups> 

</button:SfButton>

Good day,

I use the PRISM delegate commands as part of the MVVM implementation and found initially that the IsEnabled property was not reacting to changes to the bounded property. Adding CanExecute and RaiseCanExecuteChanged() to the mix remedied the situation.

In summary my question has been resolved using the following:

VisualStateManager

CanExecute in conjunction with DelegateCommand

Adding RaiseCanExcuteChanged to the set property of the ISEnabled binding.

Thank you for the support!

Warm regards
