Hi everyone, I have a script in which I want to switch the visibility of 4 different content controls. In visual states, I set the opacity and crashed based on each given state (see Code.) What I would like to do is a visual state associated with a property of my view model of type Enum. I tried using DataStateBehavior, but it requires true / false, which does not work for me. So I tried DataStateSwitchBehavior, which seems to be completely broken into WPF4 from what I could say. Is there a better way to do this? I am really open to different approaches if necessary, but I really would like to keep this listing in the equation.
Edit:
The code should not be too important, I just need to know if there is a well-known solution to this problem.
