wpf - How to boolean && two visibility converters

Question

I have two separate converters for visibility, one based on whether a field has been updated and one based on whether a field is allowed to be seen. I use the updatedField one for each text item on my page so that a star shows up next to an updated field. But some text items only are visible to some users based on permission levels.

For example:

<Image Visibility="{Binding ElementName=MyObject, Path=UpdatedFields, Mode=OneWay, Converter={StaticResource updatedFieldConverter}, ConverterParameter=FieldToTest}" Source="Properties:Resources.star_yellow" />

and

<TextBlock FontSize="21" Foreground="{DynamicResource LabelBrush}" Text="{x:Static Properties:Resources.Some_Text}" Visibility="{Binding Source={StaticResource allowedFields}, Path=Some_Text_Field, Converter={StaticResource visibilityConverter}}" />

My problem is that for the case of the permission-required fields I need to run both converters to determine if the star shows up. Is there a way to do a boolean "And" on the results of two converters?

I looked at this post but it doesn't seem to allow for different sets of parameters to be passed into to the two different converters.

-------Update--------

I also tried to create a MultiValueConverter with this xaml

<Image Grid.Row="4" Grid.Column="0" Source="star_yellow.png">
   <Image.Visibility>
      <MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource combinedVisibilityConverter}" ConverterParameter="FieldToTest" >
         <Binding ElementName="allowedFieldsModel" Path="Some_Text_Field" Mode="OneWay" />                        
         <Binding ElementName="MyObject" Path="UpdatedFields" Mode="OneWay" />
      </MultiBinding>
   </Image.Visibility>
</Image>

But when it enters the converter both values are "DependencyProperty.UnsetValue". So I'm apparently doing something wrong here.

--------Solution---------

I had to modify to this, but then it worked.

<Image.Visibility>
    <MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource combinedVisibilityConverter}" ConverterParameter="FieldToTest">
        <Binding Source="{StaticResource allowedFieldsModel}" Path="Some_Text_Field" />
        <Binding Path="MyObject.UpdatedFields" />
    </MultiBinding>
</Image.Visibility>

Answer 1

You could use a MultiBinding together with a short, hand made IMultiValueConverter.

Example:

<StackPanel>
    <StackPanel.Resources>
        <local:MultiBooleanToVisibilityConverter x:Key="Converter" />
    </StackPanel.Resources>
    <CheckBox x:Name="Box1" />
    <CheckBox x:Name="Box2" />
    <TextBlock Text="Hidden Text">
        <TextBlock.Visibility>
            <MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource Converter}">
                <Binding ElementName="Box1"
                            Path="IsChecked" />
                <Binding ElementName="Box2"
                            Path="IsChecked" />
            </MultiBinding>
        </TextBlock.Visibility>
    </TextBlock>                   
</StackPanel>

... and the converter ...

class MultiBooleanToVisibilityConverter : IMultiValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object[] values,
                            Type targetType,
                            object parameter,
                            System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        bool visible = true;
        foreach (object value in values)
            if (value is bool)
                visible = visible && (bool)value;

        if (visible)
            return System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
        else
            return System.Windows.Visibility.Hidden;
    }

    public object[] ConvertBack(object value,
                                Type[] targetTypes,
                                object parameter,
                                System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}
