I know that a passwordbox in wpf could not use the Validation.ErrorTemplate, anyhow i have to show the user, that something is wrong.
My Passwordbox has a binding like this
<PasswordBox Name="Password" local:PasswordHelper.Text="{Binding PasswordProp, Mode=TwoWay}" />
Is it possible to get the same style like the default errortemplate (red border) for this passwordbox, if something is wrong?
This is my ErrorTemplate that I use for the other controls
<Style x:Key="baseControlStyle">
<Setter Property="Control.FontFamily" Value="Verdana" />
<Setter Property="Control.FontSize" Value="12" />
<Setter Property="ToolTipService.ShowOnDisabled" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="Validation.ErrorTemplate" >
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<DockPanel LastChildFill="True">
<Image x:Name="Bild"
DockPanel.Dock="Right"
Source="../Resources/Nein.ico"
Margin="-5 0 0 0"
MaxHeight="16"
MaxWidth="16"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
ToolTip="{Binding ElementName=myControl, Path=AdornedElement.(Validation.Errors)[0].ErrorContent}">
</Image>
<Border BorderBrush="Red" BorderThickness="1" CornerRadius="2">
<AdornedElementPlaceholder x:Name="myControl" />
</Border>
</DockPanel>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Validation.HasError" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Control.ToolTip" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=(Validation.Errors)[0].ErrorContent}"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
Thanks
One solution would be to put an actual
TextBox
underneath thePasswordBox
and bind theText
property toPasswordProp
too and give theTextBox
the ErrorTemplate:Since the controls of the ErrorTemplate will be put on an adorner layer, your error template will be displayed on top of the PasswordBox event though the TextBox is underneath the PasswordBox.
Also note that I have set the
TextBox
controltemplate tonull
. Since it is not supposed to be visible it doesn't need to be rendered.
