为什么 wpf UpdateSourceTrigger 无法工作

Question

Why does the simple provided code, copies the "source" text on each key press and not on lostFocus?

<StackPanel>
    <TextBox Text="{Binding Text, ElementName=source, UpdateSourceTrigger=LostFocus}"/>
    <TextBox x:Name="source"/>
</StackPanel>

Answer 1

What your code says is as follows:

The first TextBox is bound to the TextBox control bellow it. So the text of the first TextBox will change according to the Text value of the second TextBox.

The answer is: The lostfocus is when you are changing the first TextBox. When you are changing the second one, since it is bound by the first TextBox, it updates automatically on the first one.

Edit: I have run that code: If you change the first TextBox, only when you loose focus, the other TextBox will change. If you change the second one, the first one will automatically change, just as I would expect .

Answer 2

this is fairly simple. UpdateSourceTrigger with LostFocus updates the binding source whenever the binding target element loses focus. It's not working like both ways. Bindings are working in a proper, correct way, just as expected.
