c# - Databinding not working on Avalondock window -

i have project window manager using avalondock.

basically there 2 element : layoutanchorableitem show different tool box (currently one, consisting of treeview) , layoutitem show document opened treeview (a custom control, bindable parameters - in theory)

the viewmodel of dockingmanager hosts observablecollection named panes layoutitems.

things works "fine" if don't try bind parameters in xaml, , force values this

<avalondock:dockingmanager.layoutitemtemplateselector>     <panes:panestemplateselector>         <panes:panestemplateselector.exchangeviewtemplate>             <datatemplate>                 <xchng:exchange/>             </datatemplate>         </panes:panestemplateselector.exchangeviewtemplate>         <panes:panestemplateselector.graphviewtemplate>             <datatemplate>                 <grph:graph tickercode="ild" exchangecode="epa"/>             </datatemplate>         </panes:panestemplateselector.graphviewtemplate>     </panes:panestemplateselector> </avalondock:dockingmanager.layoutitemtemplateselector> 

exchange toolbox , graph layoutitems.

the initial databinding docking manager done :

<avalondock:dockingmanager margin="0,0,0,0"                           grid.row="1"                          anchorablessource="{binding tools}"                          documentssource="{binding panes}"                           activecontent="{binding activedocument, mode=twoway, converter={staticresource activedocumentconverter}}"                          x:name="dockmanager"> 

note pane of type graphviewmodel has 2 public parameters : exchangecode , tickercode.

the thing want bind tickercode , exchangecode panes.tickercode , panes.exchangecode values.

so tried :

<grph:graph tickercode="{binding tickercode, updatesourcetrigger=propertychanged}" exchangecode="{binding exchangecode, updatesourcetrigger=propertychanged}"/> 

but nothing : tickercode , exchangecode in custom control equal "" contrary when force values in xaml.

also weird thing if step in code execution, panes have values tickercode , exchangecode, don't bind. instance, code create pane is

public void addgraph(string fullname, string exchangecode, string tickercode)     {         var graphviewmodel = new graphviewmodel(fullname, exchangecode, tickercode);         _panes.add(graphviewmodel);         activedocument = graphviewmodel;      } 

here, every step has both values. , let's imagine add 5 different panes, correct exchangecode , tickercode, nothing passed custom control.

if need more info on custom control values bound to, here code : passing parameters custom control (databinding).

remark: see didn't put of code, make request if think may , add what's needed. note global logic of whole window manager same provided in avalondock test app (avalondock.mvvmtestapp).

for example, if i’ve got chartview , chartviewmodel: in mainwindow.xaml:

    <xcad:dockingmanager x:name="dockingmanager"                          anchorablessource="{binding path=anchorables}"                          documentssource="{binding path=documents}"                          activecontent="{binding path=activedocument, mode=twoway, converter={staticresource activedocumentconverter}}">          <xcad:dockingmanager.layoutitemtemplateselector>             <selfviewpane:panetemplateselector>                 <selfviewpane:panetemplateselector.chartviewtemplate>                     <datatemplate>                         <selfviewdocument:chartview />                     </datatemplate>                 </selfviewpane:panetemplateselector.chartviewtemplate>             </selfviewpane:panetemplateselector>         </xcad:dockingmanager.layoutitemtemplateselector>          <xcad:dockingmanager.layoutitemcontainerstyleselector>             <selfviewpane:panestyleselector>                 <selfviewpane:panestyleselector.chartviewstyle>                     <style targettype="{x:type xcad:layoutitem}">                         <setter property="title" value="{binding model.title}"/>                                                         <setter property="closecommand" value="{binding model.closecommand}"/>                         <setter property="iconsource" value="{binding model.iconsource}"/>                         <setter property="contentid" value="{binding model.contentid}"/>                     </style>                 </selfviewpane:panestyleselector.chartviewstyle>             </selfviewpane:panestyleselector>         </xcad:dockingmanager.layoutitemcontainerstyleselector>          <xcad:dockingmanager.layoutupdatestrategy>             <selfviewpane:layoutinitializer />         </xcad:dockingmanager.layoutupdatestrategy>          <xcad:layoutroot>             <xcad:layoutpanel orientation="horizontal">                 <xcad:layoutanchorablepane name="toolspane" dockwidth="200">                 </xcad:layoutanchorablepane>                 <xcad:layoutdocumentpane />             </xcad:layoutpanel>         </xcad:layoutroot>                     </xcad:dockingmanager> 

and: in chartviewmodel i’ve got property chartplotmodel:

/// <summary> /// gets or sets chartplotmodel. /// </summary> public plotmodel chartplotmodel {         {         return this.chartplotmodel;     }      set     {         if (this.chartplotmodel != value)         {             this.chartplotmodel = value;             this.raisepropertychanged("chartplotmodel");         }     } } 

in chartview can bind:

<usercontrol x:class="jofta.analyzer.ui.classes.view.document.chartview"              xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"              xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"              xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"               xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"               xmlns:xctk="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/toolkit"              xmlns:oxy="http://oxyplot.org/wpf"              mc:ignorable="d"               d:designheight="300" d:designwidth="300">      <xctk:busyindicator isbusy="{binding path=isbusy}">         <grid>             <oxy:plotview model="{binding chartplotmodel}" />         </grid>     </xctk:busyindicator>  </usercontrol> 

in example i’m binding plotview oxyplot, think, can use pattern. you’ve got graphviewmodel, graphview , tickercode , exchangecode.
