I am currently trying to make a slider in ViewA change the font size of text in viewA and viewB. I have everything bound correctly, but the delegate command is not calling the execute method when the font size property is changed. If I manually call this function everything works as expected, so it is likely one line of code that is the problem. The ViewAViewModel is below:
public class ViewAViewModel : BindableBase
{
private Person _CoolChick = new Person();
private int _fontSize = 12;
private IEventAggregator _eventAggregator;
public DelegateCommand UpdateSizeCommand { get; set; }
public Person CoolChick
{
get
{
return _CoolChick;
}
set
{
SetProperty(ref _CoolChick, value);
}
}
public int FontSize
{
get { return _fontSize; }
set {
Console.WriteLine(_fontSize + " => Font Size");
SetProperty(ref _fontSize, value);
//Execute();
}
}
public ViewAViewModel(IEventAggregator eventAggregator)
{
CoolChick.Age = 25;
CoolChick.Name = "Methalous";
_eventAggregator = eventAggregator;
//likely the problem in this code
UpdateSizeCommand = new DelegateCommand(Execute, CanExecute).ObservesProperty(() => FontSize);
}
private void Execute()
{
_eventAggregator.GetEvent<UpdateEvent>().Publish(FontSize);
}
private bool CanExecute()
{
return true;
}
}
Why would it? You're not calling UpdateSizeCommand.Execute in the setter of your Font property. The command will not invoke unless you bind it to a command property or invoke it manually.
