How to properly use the Stepper about materialdesignextensions HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi, are you looking for an event saying "now I am showing the next step"? Such an event does not exist yet but I will add a StepChanged event to my ToDo list.

The Stepper has a property Controller which exposes ActiveStep. This property always contains the current step, because the UI binds to it. I am thinking of exposing a ActiveStep property directly on the Stepper. Or you might want listen to the PropertyChanged event of the controller and check the arguments for the ActiveStep property name.

Not an event, but rather a SelectedStep binding, (like a tab control has SelectedItem), which then my ViewModel would know when we have actually reached that step. I need to do this because when I reach a certain step, I need to perform some calculations. Right now I have to do some ugly code-behind inspection on the prev/next steps to see when I am about to reach the step in question.

exactly what I would be looking for.

Also, how do I know when the Continue / Finish button is clicked - can I bind to that specific button's Command ?

Hi, based on your feedback, I added the following members to the Stepper API:

• read-only ActiveStep property
• event ActiveStepChangedEvent
• command properties for navigation callbacks
  • ActiveStepChangedCommand
  • BackNavigationCommand
  • CancelNavigationCommand
  • ContinueNavigationCommand
  • StepNavigationCommand

You can assign your custom command to these new command properties. According well-tried events already exist. The changes will be scheduled for the next release.

I'm again adding to this now closed issue because I still feel that I don't know exactly to handle the validation, A new issue is not required.

When I have a 2 Step stepper with BlockNavigationOnValidationErrors set to true. I have derived from Step to allow for validation as per the documents. If I reach step 2 and it fails validation.. why would it prevent me from going back a step? I feel that the BlockNavigationOnValidationErrors should only restrict going to the next step.

How can I accomplish this with the already implemented validation and events/commands already in play?
