Using binding for the Value property of DataTrigger condition

by

No, it is not possible. As the error message says, only dependency properties can be targets of WPF bindings, and DataTrigger.Value is not a dependency property. So you will need to assign an actual value.

The workaround is to use a MultiBinding whose child Bindings are the two bindings you want to compare, with an IMultiValueConverter which returns true if the two inputs are equal and false if they are unequal. The DataTrigger can then use that MultiBinding, and a Value of True.
