Question

I've created a multivalueconverter that I'm binding a telerik:RadMenuItem's visibility property. This right-click menu is inside of an appointment that goes onto a Telerik calendar control. I want to pass the ControlID (which is an attached property from the framework I'm using) into the IMultiValueConverter that I've made as a parameter. So, I want to pass in the Guid (which comes in as the second value in an object array in the converter) and then cast it something to get the value so I can do my evaluations. WPF isn't my strong suit and after trying a lot of things I can't seem to get the binding wired up.

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Cancel" x:Name="CancelMenuItem"
                                                   Click="RadMenuItemCancel_Click" 
                                                   myframework:BaseWindow.ControlID="e5c25731-e30e-472e-a5d7-ab190348a7cb">
                        <telerik:RadMenuItem.Visibility>
                            <MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource SecurityEnumToVisibilityConverter}">
                                <Binding Path="Appointment.AppointmentType" />
                                <Binding ElementName="CancelMenuItem" Path="myframework:BaseWindow.ControlID" />                
                            </MultiBinding>                     
                        </telerik:RadMenuItem.Visibility>
                    </telerik:RadMenuItem>

What am I missing here in that second Binding tag to pass in the contents of ControlID to my multivalue converter successfully? Thanks!

Was it helpful?

Solution

Try surrounding your path with brackets.

Path="(myframework:BaseWindow.ControlID)"

afaik this tells WPF that you are binding to an attached property
