Question

How can I set a trigger on a ComboBox that when the SelectedIndex is greater than 0 (basically, when an option is selected) another ComboBox gets modified. What I have are two ComboBoxes but the user can only select from one of them. So if I select the first option from ComboBox A then ComboBox B should get a SelectedIndex of 0 , and vice versa.

I’ve tried toying with the following but not sure how to capture the logic required.

<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding AvailableStatuses}"
          SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedStatus}"
          Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" DisplayMemberPath="Name" 
          x:Name="Statuses">
    <ComboBox.Style>
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type ComboBox}">
            <Style.Triggers>
                <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=Decisions}" Value="0">
                    <Setter Property="SelectedIndex" Value="0" />
                </DataTrigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </ComboBox.Style>
</ComboBox>

What sort of trigger should I be looking at?

I think it would be much simpler to just have this logic in the ViewModel, wherever your “SelectedStatus” property is. If the value coming in is greater than 0, set the other property (“SelectedStatus2”?) to 0 and vice versa.
