Visibility binding on a UserControl used as a subview not working
Posted: 25 Sep 2017, 15:42
Hello,
As the title states I'm having some trouble with binding the Visibility property on a UserControl used as a subview. I'm using Unity 2017.1.1f1 and NoesisGUI 2.1.0b4.
I have the following code for a parent view:
It uses the following ViewModel:
The view of the SubView usercontrol is only a simple button as follows:
The code-behind of this UserControl:
Everything loads fine and clicking the first button successfully toggles the Visibility property in the MainViewModel. The 3rd button properly reflects this change. However, the SubView UserControl will always stay visible. If I don't use a binding and load the MainView with either Collapsed or Visible set for the SubView it properly shows the SubView as either collapsed or visible. Am I missing something crucial for the Visibility property to work?
