WPF Custom User Control + Dependency Properties

In this video we create a simple custom user control which acts as a spoiler button for displaying and collapsing content behind it. We also vaguely cover using dependency properties and how to implement our new custom control.

[@solvedplus858]

this is very good and simple many thanks for your greet tutorial

[@stratman1234]

This is very helpful. I didn't know about setting the Name property of the UserControl and the using the ElementName to get the property. Great job!!

[@valnuke]

excellent video

When I bind the ViewModel property to the dependency property of the custom UserControl, the UI interface is not updated after the data is updated. Do you know why?

[@ChantingInTheDark]

Thanks, this helped, I had everything right on my own except this one part: ElementName= when binding the property to the user control's XAML. I'm curious what the other methods were you mentioned.

Genius

[@KD-xp4di]

Hehehe thank you for the warning

[@kumarharsh8931]

is it possible to create Custom usercontrol with mvvm where we should not have Dp in code behind rather in viewModel?

[@shaihulud4515]

Actually you can, by using XAML. It's called control.template. So, e.g. create a radiobutton-style, create a control.template tag and throw in a togglebutton for instance. Voila.

Q: how to make a style in the main window for the new usercontrol and the style contain the dependency properties of the usercontrol?

[@ImDeesu]

What is the difference between TargetType="Button" and TargetType="{x:Type Button}"?

[@ToskersCorner]

Virtually no difference!

[@ImDeesu]

Oh! Thank you then :^)

[@fooballers7883]

[@francoisdeklerk1266]

Audio?

[@ToskersCorner]

There is audio, perhaps it is quiet for you? Seems fine for me.

[@francoisdeklerk1266]

Appreciate your videos, man!! Yes, the audio seems to very quite

[@ToskersCorner]

Thanks! And sorry to hear that. Perhaps a pair of head phones or checking your settings might help.
