How to pass a string from a secondary window to the main window in WPF
I am working on a to-do list application for a project. I would like to change the value of a string in an observableCollection. I am able to change the string in the same window but I would like to change the value from a textbox in a secondary window.
So what I tried to do was is change a string in the first window by using a textbox in the second window. By doing the way I have listed below it just blanks out the item I am trying to edit.
I would like to take the test from the textbox in the second window and use it to modify the taskName in the first window. Below I am going to include my code for the two c# files for the windows.
This is the main window but it is called DemoMainWindow:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
using ToDoList.ViewModels;
using ToDoList.Model;
namespace ToDoList
{
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for DemoMainWindow.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class DemoMainWindow : Window
{
private ViewModel _viewModel;
public string? EditedTaskName { get; set; }
public DemoMainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
TxtUCEnteredTask.txtLimitedInput.Text = "Do the dishes";
_viewModel = new ViewModel();
DataContext = _viewModel;
}
private void BtnAddTask_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
_viewModel.Tasks.Add(new TaskModel() { TaskName = TxtUCEnteredTask.txtLimitedInput.Text });
}
private void BtnDeleteTask_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if(LstBoxTasks.SelectedItem != null)
{
#pragma warning disable CS8604 // Possible null reference argument.
_ = _viewModel.Tasks.Remove(item: LstBoxTasks.SelectedItem as TaskModel);
#pragma warning restore CS8604 // Possible null reference argument.
}
}
private void BtnHelp_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
HelpWindow helpWindow = new HelpWindow();
helpWindow.Show();
}
private string? GetEditedTaskName()
{
return EditedTaskName;
}
private void BtnEditTask_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (LstBoxTasks.SelectedItem != null)
{
EditWindow editWindow = new EditWindow();
editWindow.Show();
//_viewModel.Tasks[LstBoxTasks.SelectedIndex].TaskName = editedTaskName;
}
}
}
}
This is the code for the C# file of the second window:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
namespace ToDoList
{
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for EditWindow.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class EditWindow : Window
{
public EditWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
var DemoMainWindow = this.DataContext;
}
private void BtnEdit_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
((DemoMainWindow)Application.Current.MainWindow).EditedTaskName = EditTextBox.Text;
// _viewModel.Tasks[LstBoxTasks.SelectedIndex].TaskName = TxtUCEnteredTask.txtLimitedInput.Text;
}
}
}
