How to: Data-Bind DocumentViewer's Zoom Property to a TextBox

This example shows how to bind the Zoom property of a DocumentViewer to a text control, using Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML).

Example

<Window x:Class="SDKSample.Window1"
        xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
  <Grid>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
      <RowDefinition Height="*" />
      <RowDefinition Height="*" />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>

    <DocumentViewer Name="dvZoomSource" Grid.Row="0" />

    <TextBox  Grid.Row="1"
        Text="{Binding ElementName=dvZoomSource, Path=Zoom, Mode=OneWay}" />
  </Grid>
</Window>

Task Remarks

• In this example, any changes to the value of Zoom are immediately reflected in the data-bound TextBox.

• This example uses a "simple" binding declaration to bind the value of Zoom to the Text property of a TextBox.

• The ElementID clause in the binding declaration refers to the Name of the source element, which in this case is "dvZoomSource".

• The Path clause in the binding declaration names the source property, which in this case is Zoom.

• The Mode clause in the binding declaration specifies that this is a one-way data binding; updates to the source value of Zoom are reflected in the target TextBox, but changes to the contents of the TextBox do not change the value of Zoom.
