Is Telerik ViewModelBase's PropertyChanged extensible?

[Psyduck]

Hello

 

I am using it by making a ViewModelBase class by default.

I looked at Telerik's ViewModelBase class documentation and this is not what I'm looking for.
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/common-information/mvvm-helpers/common-viewmodelbase-class

I prefer to display getter setters on one line.

using Telerik.Windows.Controls;
private object item;
public object Item 
{ 
        get => item;
        set 
        { 
                item= value; 
                RaisePropertyChanged(); 
        } 
} 

 

// Create ViewModelBase helper method
protected virtual bool SetField<T>( ref T member, T newValue, [CallerMemberName] string propertyName) ... ... 

private object item;
public object Item
{
    get => item;
    set  => SetField(ref item, value);
}

 

I want to keep it simple. Do you have any plans to improve this?
Or I would like to ask if it is possible to create a similar one and use it while using the Telerik ViewModelBase Class.

 

If that doesn't work, I'll continue to create and use my ViewModelClass.

Thanks.

Hello KIM,

Currently we do not have plans to introduce SetField method. However, you can achieve your requirement by extending the ViewModelBase class like so:

public class CustomViewModelBase : ViewModelBase
{
	protected virtual bool SetField<T>(ref T member, T newValue, [CallerMemberName]string propertyName = "")
	{
		if (EqualityComparer<T>.Default.Equals(member, newValue))
		{
			return false;
		}

		member = newValue;
		OnPropertyChanged(propertyName);
		return true;
	}
}

I hope that helps.
