  1. POUse Binding in a Listbox Itemtemplate for a custom control
    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to do a custom datepicker control. It's based on a Textbox where I can select diffrent types of dates. So when I get focus on the Textbox then I create a Popup window that has a listbox where the following items is added.</p> <pre><code>Today Last 7 days Month to date Year to date The previous Month Specific date All dates before All dates after Date range </code></pre> <p>This works fine, if I hardcode in all the items. Now I want to extend this list so I use the Listbox.ItemTemplate instead so I can customize the listboxitem. I have creates a DateChoice-class that I create a list of and bind this to the listboxs itemssource.</p> <pre><code>internal class DateChoiceItem { internal DateChoiceEnum DateChoiceEnum { get; set; } internal string DateChoiceName { get; set; } internal bool ExtendedCalender { get; set; } } this.DateChoice.ItemsSource = new ObservableCollection&lt;DateChoiceItem&gt;() { new DateChoiceItem(){DateChoiceName = "Today", DateChoiceEnum = DateChoiceEnum.Today}, new DateChoiceItem(){DateChoiceName = "Last 7 days", DateChoiceEnum = DateChoiceEnum.Last7Days}, new DateChoiceItem(){DateChoiceName = "Month to date", DateChoiceEnum = DateChoiceEnum.MonthToDate}, new DateChoiceItem(){DateChoiceName = "Year to date", DateChoiceEnum = DateChoiceEnum.YearToDate}, new DateChoiceItem(){DateChoiceName = "The previous Month", DateChoiceEnum = DateChoiceEnum.PreviousMonth}, new DateChoiceItem(){DateChoiceName = "Specific date", DateChoiceEnum = DateChoiceEnum.SpecificDate, ExtendedCalender = true}, new DateChoiceItem(){DateChoiceName = "All dates before", DateChoiceEnum = DateChoiceEnum.AllDatesBefore, ExtendedCalender = true}, new DateChoiceItem(){DateChoiceName = "All dates after", DateChoiceEnum = DateChoiceEnum.AllDatesAfter, ExtendedCalender = true}, new DateChoiceItem(){DateChoiceName = "Date range", DateChoiceEnum = DateChoiceEnum.DateRange, ExtendedCalender = true } }; </code></pre> <p>Since this is a customcontrol I have put the xaml-code in a resourcefiles and it looks like this:</p> <pre><code> &lt;ListBox x:Name="PART_DateChoice" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0"&gt; &lt;ListBox.ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;DataTemplate&gt; &lt;Grid&gt; &lt;Grid.ColumnDefinitions&gt; &lt;ColumnDefinition Width="*"/&gt; &lt;ColumnDefinition Width="5"/&gt; &lt;ColumnDefinition Width="16"/&gt; &lt;/Grid.ColumnDefinitions&gt; &lt;TextBlock x:Name="name" Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding Path=DateChoiceName}"/&gt; &lt;TextBlock Grid.Column="2" Text="&gt;" Visibility="{Binding Path=ExtendedCalender, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}"/&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;/ListBox.ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;/ListBox&gt; </code></pre> <p>So I want it to look like this</p> <pre><code>Today Last 7 days Month to date Year to date The previous Month Specific date &gt; All dates before &gt; All dates after &gt; Date range &gt; </code></pre> <p>Here I use 2 textboxes to show the name and even if it's possible to extend the listboxitem so I can show some calenders if I need to select 1 or 2 specific dates. But All I get is a listbox filled with '>'. Like this</p> <pre><code> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; </code></pre> <p>It looks like the Text="{Binding Path=DateChoiceName}" isn't working. What am I missing here? </p> <p>Now I can solve this by doing a lot of hardcoding, but I prefere to bind my list to the listbox and get the Binding working!!</p> <p>Have anybody has the same problem?</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
