CallDataMethod trigger in Xamarin Forms



Here’s a very simple implementation of a CallDataMethod trigger in Xamarin Forms:

public class CallDataMethod: TriggerAction<VisualElement>
{
public string Method { get; set; }

#region implemented abstract members of TriggerAction

protected override void Invoke (VisualElement sender)
{
MethodInfo method
= sender.GetType ().GetRuntimeMethod (Method, new Type[0]);
if (method != null) {
ParameterInfo[] parameters
= method.GetParameters ();
if (parameters.Length == 0)
method.Invoke (sender,
null);
}
}

#endregion
}


For a demo, let’s say we have two text-boxes (Entry control in Xamarin Forms) and you want to enable the second one when the first has ten characters:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ContentPage
xmlns
="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x
="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:controls
="clr-namespace:Xamore.Controls;assembly=Xamore.Controls"
x:Class
="Xamore.Controls.TestApp.Views.CallDataMethodPage">
<StackLayout>
<Entry x:Name="FirstEntry"
WidthRequest
="100" />
<Entry IsEnabled="false"
WidthRequest
="100">
<Entry.Triggers>
<DataTrigger TargetType="Entry"
Binding
="{Binding Source={x:Reference FirstEntry}, Path=Text.Length}"
Value
="10">
<Setter Property="IsEnabled"
Value
="True" />
<Trigger.EnterActions>
<controls:CallDataMethod Method="Focus" />
</Trigger.EnterActions>
</DataTrigger>
</Entry.Triggers>
</Entry>
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage>
