How do You Create a Read-Only Dependency Property?
It's easy, actually (via RegisterReadOnly):
public class OwnerClass : DependencyObject // or DependencyObject inheritor
{
private static readonly DependencyPropertyKey ReadOnlyPropPropertyKey
= DependencyProperty.RegisterReadOnly(
nameof(ReadOnlyProp),
typeof(int), typeof(OwnerClass),
new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(default(int),
FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.None));
public static readonly DependencyProperty ReadOnlyPropProperty
= ReadOnlyPropPropertyKey.DependencyProperty;
public int ReadOnlyProp
{
get { return (int)GetValue(ReadOnlyPropProperty); }
protected set { SetValue(ReadOnlyPropPropertyKey, value); }
}
//your other code here ...
}
You use the key only when you set the value in private/protected/internal code. Due to the protected ReadOnlyProp
setter, this is transparent to you.
