MVVM BreadCrump.Path not want to change address or CurrentItem sometimes give me error

[kity]

1. Problem
If I set Path via mvvm BreadCrump not want to update UI or simple show only root name.

 

Path="{Binding Path=SelectedTreePath, Mode=TwoWay }"

<telerik:RadBreadcrumb x:Name="breadcrumbDocumentCategory"

Header="{Binding PathDocumentsTree}"

ItemsSource="{Binding Path=PathDocumentsTree.ChildNodes, Mode=TwoWay}"

PathSeparator="/" TextModePath="Header"

Path="{Binding Path=SelectedTreePath, Mode=TwoWay }"
IsHistoryEnabled="True">


<telerik:RadBreadcrumb.HeaderTemplate>


<DataTemplate>

  <TextBlock Text="{Binding CategoryName}" />

</DataTemplate>

</telerik:RadBreadcrumb.HeaderTemplate>

<telerik:RadBreadcrumb.ItemTemplate>

<telerik:HierarchicalDataTemplate ItemsSource="{Binding ChildNodes}">

<TextBlock Text="{Binding CategoryName}" />

</telerik:HierarchicalDataTemplate>

</telerik:RadBreadcrumb.ItemTemplate>

</telerik:RadBreadcrumb>

 

private





string _selectedTreePath;






public string SelectedTreePath


{





get


{

_recResult =



string.Empty;






if (this.SelectedTreeNode as CategoryViewModel != null && PathDocumentsTree != null)


{

_selectedTreePath = ContainerFromItemRecursive(



this.SelectedTreeNode as CategoryViewModel, PathDocumentsTree.ChildNodes);




Breadcrumb.Path = _selectedTreePath;

}





return _selectedTreePath;


}





set { _selectedTreePath = value; RaisePropertyChanged(() => SelectedTreePath); }


}




private





string ContainerFromItemRecursive(CategoryViewModel selectedTreeNode, IEnumerable<CategoryTree> documentTree, string path = null)


{





if (documentTree != null)


{





string mp = path;






int n = 0;






foreach (var item in documentTree)


{

mp = mp + CPathSeparator + item.CategoryName;





if (item.CategoryId == selectedTreeNode.ID)


{

path = GetPath(mp, n) + CPathSeparator + item.CategoryName;

_recResult = CRootName + CPathSeparator + path.Replace(



"//", CPathSeparator);






break;


}





else


{

ContainerFromItemRecursive(selectedTreeNode, item.ChildNodes, mp);

}

n++;

}

}





return _recResult.Replace("//", CPathSeparator);


}

2. Second problem is runtime error if I use CurrentItem to change UI address in RadBreadcrumb (if not appear error it is work correct).

My be problem is becouse I do not use your recursive travers tree function like ContainerFromItemRecursive()?

this

 

 

.explorerBreadcrumb.Path = this.explorerTree.ContainerFromItemRecursive(e.AddedItems[0]).FullPath;

 

But I thing mine function result is equal to yours?

 I have error in when call RaisePropertyChanged(() => SelectedTreePathItem);

Hello,

Can you please take a look at our online demonstration project and see how we implements the behavior that you require. Furthermore, you can find more information about the RadBreadcrumb control in our help documentation.

On the other hand, I noticed that you’ve been extensively testing our controls for some time now. Would you mind sharing with us what prevents you from purchasing a license. Your feedback would help us determine the show-stoppers that developers like you face and better address them in the future.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

I notice other strange

behaviour. Look attached image.

Hi,

Can you please elaborate more on how you open this "suggest box". If you press the History ToggleButton in the right most of the RadBreadCrumb control - you actually open the history of the control. If you press it when the control is loaded and no browsing history is available - the behavior that you report is expected.
