They seem the same. Is there a significant difference? I think I am missing something.
A DataTrigger allows you to set property values when the property value of the data object matches a specified Value. For example, if you are displaying a list of Employee objects, you may want the foreground color to be different based on each Employee's current attendance.
Basically, a trigger enables you to change property values or take actions based on the value of a property. So, it basically allows you to dynamically change the appearance and/or behavior of your control without having to create a new one.
There are five types of triggers supported by WPF; they are: Property Trigger. Data Trigger. MultiTrigger.
A regular Trigger
only responds to dependency properties.
A DataTrigger
can be triggered by any .NET property (by setting its Binding
property). However, its setters can still target only dependency properties.
