J'ai décidé de résoudre ce problème via un comportement. Il utilise une Hintpropriété pour définir le texte à afficher (peut également être un objet, si vous préférez) et une Valuepropriété pour évaluer si l'indice doit être visible ou non.
Le comportement est déclaré comme suit:
using System;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Interactivity;
using System.Windows.Media;
public class HintBehavior : Behavior<ContentControl>
{
public static readonly DependencyProperty HintProperty = DependencyProperty
.Register("Hint", typeof (string), typeof (HintBehavior)
//, new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(null, OnHintChanged)
);
public string Hint
{
get { return (string) GetValue(HintProperty); }
set { SetValue(HintProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty ValueProperty = DependencyProperty
.Register("Value", typeof (object), typeof (HintBehavior)
, new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(null, OnValueChanged));
private static void OnValueChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var visible = e.NewValue == null;
d.SetValue(VisibilityProperty, visible ? Visibility.Visible : Visibility.Collapsed);
}
public object Value
{
get { return GetValue(ValueProperty); }
set { SetValue(ValueProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty VisibilityProperty = DependencyProperty
.Register("Visibility", typeof (Visibility), typeof (HintBehavior)
, new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(Visibility.Visible
//, new PropertyChangedCallback(OnVisibilityChanged)
));
public Visibility Visibility
{
get { return (Visibility) GetValue(VisibilityProperty); }
set { SetValue(VisibilityProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty ForegroundProperty = DependencyProperty
.Register("Foreground", typeof (Brush), typeof (HintBehavior)
, new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(new SolidColorBrush(Colors.DarkGray)
//, new PropertyChangedCallback(OnForegroundChanged)
));
public Brush Foreground
{
get { return (Brush) GetValue(ForegroundProperty); }
set { SetValue(ForegroundProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty MarginProperty = DependencyProperty
.Register("Margin", typeof (Thickness), typeof (HintBehavior)
, new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(new Thickness(4, 5, 0, 0)
//, new PropertyChangedCallback(OnMarginChanged)
));
public Thickness Margin
{
get { return (Thickness) GetValue(MarginProperty); }
set { SetValue(MarginProperty, value); }
}
private static ResourceDictionary _hintBehaviorResources;
public static ResourceDictionary HintBehaviorResources
{
get
{
if (_hintBehaviorResources == null)
{
var res = new ResourceDictionary
{
Source = new Uri("/Mayflower.Client.Core;component/Behaviors/HintBehaviorResources.xaml",
UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)
};
_hintBehaviorResources = res;
}
return _hintBehaviorResources;
}
}
protected override void OnAttached()
{
base.OnAttached();
var t = (ControlTemplate) HintBehaviorResources["HintBehaviorWrapper"];
AssociatedObject.Template = t;
AssociatedObject.Loaded += OnLoaded;
}
private void OnLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
AssociatedObject.Loaded -= OnLoaded;
var label = (Label) AssociatedObject.Template.FindName("PART_HintLabel", AssociatedObject);
label.DataContext = this;
//label.Content = "Hello...";
label.SetBinding(UIElement.VisibilityProperty, new Binding("Visibility") {Source = this, Mode = BindingMode.OneWay});
label.SetBinding(ContentControl.ContentProperty, new Binding("Hint") {Source = this, Mode = BindingMode.OneWay});
label.SetBinding(Control.ForegroundProperty, new Binding("Foreground") {Source = this, Mode = BindingMode.OneWay});
label.SetBinding(FrameworkElement.MarginProperty, new Binding("Margin") {Source = this, Mode = BindingMode.OneWay});
}
}
Il enveloppe la cible avec son propre modèle, en y ajoutant une étiquette:
<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<ControlTemplate x:Key="HintBehaviorWrapper" TargetType="{x:Type ContentControl}">
<Grid>
<ContentPresenter Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" />
<Label x:Name="PART_HintLabel" IsHitTestVisible="False" Padding="0" />
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</ResourceDictionary>
Pour l'utiliser, il suffit de l'ajouter comme comportement et de lier vos valeurs (dans mon cas je l'ajoute dans un ControlTemplate, d'où la liaison):
<ContentControl>
<i:Interaction.Behaviors>
<behaviors:HintBehavior Value="{Binding Property, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
Hint="{Binding Hint, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" />
</i:Interaction.Behaviors>
<TextBox ... />
</ContentControl>
J'adorerais les commentaires si cela est considéré comme une solution propre. Il ne nécessite pas de dictionnaires statiques et n'a donc aucune fuite de mémoire.
