I have a button where I'm trying to pass down to the ViewModel the ActualHeight/ActualWidth of the main grid on the control. My XAML looks something like this:
<Grid x:Name="MainGrid">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="47" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<!-- ROW 0 -->
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Label Content="{Binding ElementName=MainGrid, Path=ActualWidth}" />
<Label Content="{Binding ElementName=MainGrid, Path=ActualHeight}" />
<Button
Width="20"
Height="20"
Margin="5,5,0,0"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
cm:Message.Attach="[Event Click] = [Action LaunchMirrorView({Binding ElementName=MainGrid, Path=ActualWidth}, {Binding ElementName=MainGrid, Path=ActualHeight})]"
ToolTip="Expand View">
<materialDesign:PackIcon
Background="Transparent"
Foreground="{StaticResource TealMidBrush}"
Kind="ArrowExpandAll" />
</Button>
...
The two labels which show the "MainGrid's" ActualWidth & ActualHeight both have positive numbers showing 415
and 660
, respectively. However, when I try to pass those numbers down to the ViewModel via the Caliburn Micro messaging of:
cm:Message.Attach="[Event Click] = [Action LaunchMirrorView({Binding ElementName=MainGrid, Path=ActualWidth}, {Binding ElementName=MainGrid, Path=ActualHeight})]"
What comes into my ViewModel's method always comes in a zero for both of those variables?
public void LaunchMirrorView(double actualWidth, double actualHeight)
{
\\ actualWidth = 0
\\ actualHeight = 0
}
Any ideas on how to pass those sizes correctly?
You do not need to use the {Binding..}
here. Following would be sufficient.
[Action LaunchMirrorView(MainGrid.ActualWidth,MainGrid.ActualHeight)]
Complete Code
<Button Content="Click"
cal:Message.Attach="[Event Click] = [Action LaunchMirrorView(MainGrid.ActualWidth,MainGrid.ActualHeight)]" />
This would ensure you receive the parameters ActualWidth and ActualHeight in the ViewModel
