TextProperty': derive content

Question

Hi,
thanks for your time ... I'm having a blackout !
environment: VS2022, .net7, MAUI

How can I derive the content of the TextProperty: in this case 'Siou Blanc'?

I used n variations without success ... must be blind!
string location = Button.TextProperty.ToString();
// result: location = 'Text'
ed
        <Button
        Grid.Row="1"
        Grid.Column="0"
        Margin="8"
        Command="{Binding MCommand}"
        IsEnabled="{Binding IsNotBusy}"
        Style="{StaticResource ButtonOutline}"
        Text="Siou Blanc"/>
        
    </VerticalStackLayout>

Answer 1

Try assigning a name: <Button x:Name="button1" ....

In the associated code file: string location = button1.Text.

Answer 2

Hello,

You can do this by adding CommandParameter="{x:Reference button1}" in the Button like following code.

    <Button x:Name="button1"
            Margin="8"
            Command="{Binding VARhCommand}"
            CommandParameter="{x:Reference button1}"
            IsEnabled="{Binding IsNotBusy}"
            Style="{StaticResource ButtonOutline}"
            Text="VAR-Haute"/>

Then add an attribute in your VARhAsync of HikesViweModel.cs. You can get the button text in the ViewModel.

    [RelayCommand]
    async Task VARhAsync(Button btn)    {
        string location = btn.Text;
    }

Best Regards,
