WPF binding doesn't work when property changes

This is my first question here, please understand. I've spent on this problem hours of digging nothing works for me, maybe somebody will explain me this strange (for me) problem?
I've made my app in WPF with MVVM
I got in MainWindow.xaml with usercontrol which loads view with binding:
<UserControl Content="{Binding CurrentView}" />
MainWindow DataContext is MainViewModel, which derives from BaseViewModel, where i set and get CurrentView from and implement INotifyPropertyChanged.
First CurrentView is LoginViewModel - it loads in constructor of MainViewModel properly and set the view (Usercontrol Loginview.xaml).
And I don't understand why when I change CurrentView property from this loaded LoginViewModel (it definitely changes - I checked it and NotifyPropertyChanged raises) - my view doesn't change - it's still LoginView, but should be WelcomeView.
But when I change the same property with the same code from MainViewModel - my view changes properly. Somebody could point where's an error? Is it impossible to change CurrentView property from outside of MainViewModel even it's not the part of MainViemodel but another class or what? What I'm missing here?
CODE:
public class BaseViewModel : NotifyPropertyChanged
{
private object? _currentView;
public object? CurrentView
{
get { return _currentView; }
set
{
_currentView = value;
OnPropertyChanged(nameof(CurrentView));
}
}
}
public class MainViewModel : BaseViewModel
{
public LoginViewModel LoginViewModel { get; set; }
public WelcomeViewModel WelcomeViewModel { get; set; }
[..]
public ICommand LoginCommand { get; set; } //- this works
public MainViewModel()
{
LoginViewModel = new();
WelcomeViewModel = new();
CurrentView = LoginViewModel;
// COMMANDS
LoginCommand = new RelayCommand(o => DoLogin(), o => CanLogin()); // this works
}
private bool CanLogin()
{
return true;
}
private void DoLogin()
{
CurrentView = WelcomeViewModel;
}
}
public class LoginViewModel : BaseViewModel
{
[...]
public WelcomeViewModel WelcomeViewModel { get; set; }
// COMMANDS PROPERTIES
public ICommand LoginCommand { get; set; }
public LoginViewModel()
{
WelcomeViewModel = new();
LoginCommand = new RelayCommand(o => DoLogin(), o => CanLogin());
}
private bool CanLogin()
{
return true;
}
private void DoLogin()
{
MessageBox.Show("Login!"); // message box test showes
// here will be some authentication
CurrentView = WelcomeViewModel; // property CurrentView changes
// CurrentView = new MainViewModel().WelcomeViewModel; // this way also doesn't work
}
}
and finally XAML from UserControl LoginView.xaml (command runs properly, property CurrentView changes, but view remains the same:
<Button
Width="200"
Height="50"
Margin="10"
Command="{Binding LoginCommand}"
Content="Login"
FontSize="18" />
<!-- Command="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type Window}},
Path=DataContext.LoginCommand}" THIS WORKS! -->
App.xaml has:
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type vievmodels:LoginViewModel}">
<viewscontents:LoginView/>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type vievmodels:WelcomeViewModel}">
<viewscontents:WelcomeView/>
</DataTemplate>

The question is: how to set DataContext ....
Do this.
Main ViewModel:
public class MainViewModel : BaseInpc
{
#region CurrentContent
private object? _currentContent;
public object? CurrentContent { get => _currentContent; set => Set(ref _currentContent, value); }
private RelayCommand _setCurrentCommand;
public RelayCommand SetCurrentCommand => _setCurrentCommand
??= new RelayCommand(content => CurrentContent = content);
#endregion
public LoginViewModel LoginViewModel { get; } = new LoginViewModel();
public WelcomeViewModel WelcomeViewModel { get; } = new WelcomeViewModel();
public MainViewModel()
{
CurrentContent = WelcomeViewModel;
}
}
public class WelcomeViewModel: BaseInpc // Derived not from MainViewModel!
{
// Some Code
}
public class LoginViewModel: BaseInpc // Derived not from MainViewModel!
{
// Some Code
}
Create an instance of MainViewModel in the application resources:
<Application.Resources>
<local:MainViewModel x:Key="mainVM"/>
</Application.Resources>
In Windows XAML:
<Window ------------
------------
DataContext="{DynamicResource mainVM}">
<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type local:LoginViewModel}">
<local:LoginViewUserControl/>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type WelcomeViewModel}">
<local:WelcomeViewUserControl/>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<ContentControl Content="{Binding CurrentContent}"/>
An example of a button toggling CurrentContent:
<Button Command="{Binding SetCurrentCommand, Source={StaticResource mainVM}}"
CommandParameter="{Binding LoginViewModel, Source={StaticResource mainVM}}"/>
BaseInpc and RelayCommand classes.

The mistake you make is that there are two CurrentView variables. One is in MainViewModel and the other one is in LoginViewModel. Both classes are derived from BaseViewModel but that doesn't mean they share the same instance of CurrentView. Both have a newinstance of the CurrentView variable. Meaning that only one is bound to the DataContext of the page.
What i'm unable to see it where you assign which CurrentView to the DataContext. So i'm not able to completely answering this question.
But it looks like you have 1 window filled with 2 controls.
To solve this, you should create a 3rd ViewModel which only contains the CurrentView. Use this instance on a parent where the UserControl is used. And use the other ViewModels to the usercontrol itself.

WPF Usercontrol Bindings with MVVM ViewModel not working

I've spent some time trying to solve this problem but couldn't find a solution.
I am trying to bind commands and data inside an user control to my view model. The user control is located inside a window for navigation purposes.
For simplicity I don't want to work with Code-Behind (unless it is unavoidable) and pass all events of the buttons via the ViewModel directly to the controller. Therefore code-behind is unchanged everywhere.
The problem is that any binding I do in the UserControl is ignored.
So the corresponding controller method is never called for the command binding and the data is not displayed in the view for the data binding. And this although the DataContext is set in the controllers.
Interestingly, if I make the view a Window instead of a UserControl and call it initially, everything works.
Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be?

How to set DataBinding for UserControl with ViewModel

I have a usercontrol with couple of controls inside. So I decide to use ViewModel to do managing for all those bindable value. But I find my binding is always null. So how to setup binding for ViewModel in usercontrol
MainWindows.xaml
<Window x:Class="Test.MainWindow"
Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800">
<StackPanel>
<cus:Wizard WizardModel="{Binding MyModel}"/>
</StackPanel>
</Window>
MainWindows.xaml.cs
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
private ViewModel vm = new ViewModel();
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
DataContext = vm;
}
}
ViewModel.cs(MainWindow viewmodel)
public class ViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private Model _MyModel;
public Model MyModel
{
get
{
return _MyModel;
}
set
{
_MyModel = value;
NotifyPropertyChanged("MyModel");
}
}
}
Wizard.xaml(my UserControl)
<UserControl mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="450" d:DesignWidth="800">
<Grid>
<TextBox Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Something}" />
</Grid>
</UserControl>
Wizard.xaml.cs
public partial class Wizard : UserControl
{
private readonly object modelLock = new object();
private Model CurrentModel = new Model();
public Wizard()
{
InitializeComponent();
DataContext = CurrentModel;
}
public Model WizardModel
{
get { return (Model)this.GetValue(WizardModelProperty); }
set { this.SetValue(WizardModelProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty WizardModelProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("WizardModel", typeof(Model), typeof(Wizard), new PropertyMetadata(null, new PropertyChangedCallback(ModelChanged)));
private static void ModelChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
((Wizard)d).OnModelChanged();
}
private void OnModelChanged()
{
lock (this.modelLock)
{
if(CurrentModel != null)
{
CurrentModel = null;
}
if (WizardModel != null)
{
CurrentModel = WizardModel;
}
}
}
}
The WizardModel in UserControl is always null. So how to setup this ViewModel in UserControl

A UserControl that is supposed to operate on a particular view model class - or more precisely on a class with a particular set of public properties - may directly bind to the view model properties in its XAML.
Given a view model like
public class Model
{
public string Something { get; set; }
}
you may write a UserControl with nothing more than this XAML
<UserControl ...>
...
<TextBox Text="{Binding Something}" />
...
</UserControl>
and this code behind
public partial class Wizard : UserControl
{
public Wizard()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
}
If you now set its DataContext to an instance of Model (or any other class with a Something property), it will just work:
<local:Wizard DataContext="{Binding MyModel}"/>
Since the value of the DataContext property is inherited from parent to child elements, this will also work:
<StackPanel DataContext="{Binding MyModel}">
<local:Wizard/>
</StackPanel>
However, the UserControl still dependends on the existence of a Something property in its DataContext. In order to get rid of this dependence, your control may expose a dependency property
public static readonly DependencyProperty MyTextProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register(nameof(MyText), typeof(string), typeof(Wizard));
public string MyText
{
get { return (string)GetValue(MyTextProperty); }
set { SetValue(MyTextProperty, value); }
}
and bind the element in its XAML to its own property
<UserControl ...>
...
<TextBox Text="{Binding MyText,
RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=UserControl}}"/>
...
</UserControl>
Now you would bind the control's property instead of setting its DataContext:
<local:Wizard MyText="{Binding MyModel.Something, Mode=TwoWay}"/>

How to execute command on parent window by User control button?

I want to make reusable jog user control. I added usercontrol on the main window.
I want to make like this
usercontrol button clicked -> 'UpJogClickCommand' call 'UpJogRelayCommand' -> execute method(UpJogMove)
But my code is Not working.. when i click button, main code do not execute 'UpJogMove'
[JogButtonControl.xaml]
<UserControl>
<Grid>
<Button Command="{Binding UpJogClickCommand}">
</Grid>
</UserControl>
[JogButtonControl.xaml.cs]
public partial class JogButtonControl : UserControl
{
public static readonly DependencyProperty UpJogClickCommandProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register(
"UpJogClickCommand",
typeof(ICommand),
typeof(JogButtonControl));
public ICommand UpJogClickCommand
{
get { return (ICommand)GetValue(UpJogClickCommandProperty); }
set { SetValue(UpJogClickCommandProperty, value); }
}
public JogButtonControl()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
}
[MainWindow.xaml]
<StackPanel x:Name="TempSP" Grid.Column="7">
<JogControl:JogButtonControl UpJogClickCommand="{Binding Path=UpJogRelayCommand}"
</StackPanel>
[MainWindow.xaml.cs]
private RelayCommand<object> _upJogRelayCommand;
public ICommand UpJogRelayCommand
{
get
{
if (_upJogRelayCommand == null)
{
_upJogRelayCommand = new RelayCommand<object>(UpJogMove);
}
return _upJogRelayCommand;
}
}
private void UpJogMove(object notUsed)
{
Debug.Print("UpJogExcuted():");
MoveToUpDirection();
}

You should specify the source object of the Binding in the XAML of your UserControl, e.g. by setting the RelativeSource property:
<UserControl>
<Grid>
<Button Command="{Binding UpJogClickCommand,
RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=UserControl}}">
</Grid>
</UserControl>

How to excecute a command declared in child viewmodel in an MVVM app?

I've got a MainWindowVM and multiple child viewmodels inheriting from it.
MainWindowVM inherits from ViewModelBase which implements INotifyPropertychanged.
Each view has DataContext set to CurrentViewModel defined in MainWindowVM and every button
has got a binding to a command.
If I put the commands (and other command-handling code in the constructor) in the MainWindowVM,
button clicks in every view works as expected. I set MainControlVM as CurrentViewModel in the constructor of MainWindowVM.
Except for MainControlVM and MainWindowVM, setting commands in any other VM means they wont execute.
However, I want to have commands only in the VMs they are used.
I found many tutorials on MVVM with only one or two viewmodels so this situation isnt an issue for them.
Edit including code:
This is the relevant code:
Part of one of the child views in XAML with a binding:
<Grid DataContext="{Binding CurrentViewModel}" Margin="0,0,-186,0">
<Button Content="Add" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="25,249,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="62" Height="32"
Command="{Binding AddCategoryVMCommand}" />
MainWindowVM class contains:
public ICommand AddCategoryVMCommand { get; private set; }
and, in the constructor:
AddCategoryVMCommand = new RelayCommand(() => ExecuteAddCategoryVMCommand());
and:
protected void ExecuteAddCategoryVMCommand()
{
CurrentViewModel = new AddCategoryVM();
}
....and the same kind of code for each command. Aso, CurrentViewModel is set in the MainWindowVM class. This is the property that the MainWindow view uses to determine which view to display along with a datatemplate:
public ViewModelBase CurrentViewModel
{
get { return _currentViewModel; }
set
{
if (_currentViewModel == value)
return;
_currentViewModel = value;
this.RaiseNotifyPropertyChanged("CurrentViewModel");
}
}
How can I make commands execute when declared in child viewmodel?

There are a lot of comments going on, all out of sync and they appear to convolute the issue so I thought I would try to solve your problem with a basic example. The example deals solely with the command binding issue you appear to have.
I have created 3 ViewModel's, MyViewModel1 and MyViewModel2 are derived of MyViewModel. There is a command defined in the base ViewModel which is used to load the CurrentViewModel. The other 2 ViewModels contain their own commands.
public class MyViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private MyViewModel currentViewModel;
public RelayCommand<object> MyCommand { get; set; }
public MyViewModel()
{
MyCommand = new RelayCommand<object>(MyCommandExecute);
}
public MyViewModel CurrentViewModel
{
get { return currentViewModel; }
set
{
if (value != currentViewModel)
{
currentViewModel = value;
OnPropertyChanged();
}
}
}
protected virtual void MyCommandExecute(object obj)
{
switch (int.Parse(obj.ToString()))
{
case 1:
CurrentViewModel = new MyViewModel1();
break;
case 2:
CurrentViewModel = new MyViewModel2();
break;
}
}
protected void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
{
var handler = this.PropertyChanged;
if (handler != null)
{
handler.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
}
public class MyViewModel1 : MyViewModel
{
public RelayCommand<object> MyCommand1 { get; set; }
public MyViewModel1()
{
MyCommand1 = new RelayCommand<object>(MyCommand1Execute);
}
private void MyCommand1Execute(object obj)
{
Debug.WriteLine("MyCommand1");
}
}
public class MyViewModel2 : MyViewModel
{
public RelayCommand<object> MyCommand2 { get; set; }
public MyViewModel2()
{
MyCommand2 = new RelayCommand<object>(MyCommand2Execute);
}
private void MyCommand2Execute(object obj)
{
Debug.WriteLine("MyCommand2");
}
}
The code behind the UserControl1 is
public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
{
public static readonly DependencyProperty ViewModelProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("ViewModel", typeof(MyViewModel1), typeof(UserControl1));
public UserControl1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public MyViewModel1 ViewModel
{
get { return GetValue(ViewModelProperty) as MyViewModel1; }
set { SetValue(ViewModelProperty, value); }
}
}
I have created the ViewModel Property as a DependencyProperty so I can bind to it from the MainWindow.
The Xaml of the user control is
<UserControl x:Class="StackOverflow._20937791.UserControl1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:this="clr-namespace:StackOverflow._20937791"
mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300">
<StackPanel DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type this:UserControl1}}, Path=ViewModel}">
<Button Content="View 1 Command" Command="{Binding Path=MyCommand1}" />
</StackPanel>
</UserControl>
Note I have set up the DataContext on the first content element of the control. The bindings on all child elements are against the ViewModel of the UserControl while any incoming bindings (from the parent control) will be evaluated from the DataContext of that parent control.
Another point to note is that by defining the DataContext in the Xaml, you will get autocomplete in the Binding expressions which will cut down on bad expression errors.
The second UserControl is the same but the ViewModel is of type MyViewModel2.
Finally, the code for the MainWindow is
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public MyViewModel ViewModel { get; set; }
}
The Xaml is
<Window x:Class="StackOverflow._20937791.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:this="clr-namespace:StackOverflow._20937791"
DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=ViewModel}"
Title="MainWindow" Height="200" Width="300">
<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type this:MyViewModel1}">
<this:UserControl1 ViewModel="{Binding}" />
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type this:MyViewModel2}">
<this:UserControl2 ViewModel="{Binding}" />
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<StackPanel>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Button Content="Show View 1" Command="{Binding Path=MyCommand}" CommandParameter="1" Width="100" Margin="4" />
<Button Content="Show View 2" Command="{Binding Path=MyCommand}" CommandParameter="2" Width="100" Margin="0 4" />
</StackPanel>
<ContentControl Content="{Binding Path=CurrentViewModel}" Margin="20" />
</StackPanel>
</Window>
The UserControl is referenced in the main window and it has its ViewModel passed in.
The application shows a window that looks like
I hope this helps.

Firt, FYI - your approach is called the strategy pattern.
Now what you are doing sounds right but it's hard withou seeing your xaml.
Maybe you need to raise a propertychanged event after setting your vm properties?

It would be helpful if you would post your code .But if I havent misunderstood your question then you can try this
<Button Command="{Binding MainControlVM.ClickCommand}"
Set the binding MainControlVM.ClickCommand .Here ClickCommand is the name of your Command.
Update
I think the issue is in Setting the CurrentViewModel. You are setting the CurrentViewModel in the Action Of Command. I think you want to set the CurrentViewModel on the basis of Command. I think this could be better by CommandParameter . Like Bind all Buttons to same Base ViewModel Command and from each Command pass the different CommandParameter and then on Command compare that CommandParameter and set CurrentViewModel accordingly.
ViewModelBase ,Child1ViewModel ,Child2ViewModel
public class ViewModelBase:INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private ICommand _clickCommand;
public ICommand ClickCommand
{
get
{
return _clickCommand ?? (_clickCommand = new CommandHandler(MyAction,()=>true));
}
}
public void MyAction(object obj)
{
if(obj == null )
return;
//if CommandParameter is Cild1VM
if (obj.ToString() == "Child1VM")
CurrentViewModel = new Child1ViewModel();
//if CommandParameter is Cild1VM
else if (obj.ToString() == "Child2VM")
CurrentViewModel = new Child2ViewModel();

{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propName));
}
}
public class Child1ViewModel : ViewModelBase
{ }
public class Child2ViewModel : ViewModelBase
{ }

I hope this will give you an idea.
