Customization of wpf expander - wpf

I am new to WPF. I want to create a menu like given in the picture in wpf. i have created menu,but don't know how to create extendable menu items
also i want the arrow in shape as underline in picture.

This should get your started.
<Expander HorizontalAlignment="Left" FlowDirection="RightToLeft" Width="200" Background="#394768" Foreground="White" FontSize="16" FontFamily="Verdana">
<Expander.Header>
<Grid Width="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Expander}}, Path=ActualWidth}">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Text="Schedule" />
<Image Grid.Column="1" Source="calendar.png" Width="20" Height="20" />
</Grid>
</Expander.Header>
<Menu Background="#232230" Foreground="White" FontSize="16" FontFamily="Verdana">
<Menu.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<VirtualizingStackPanel Orientation="Vertical"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</Menu.ItemsPanel>
<Menu.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="MenuItem">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="TextBlock.TextDecorations" Value="Underline"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Menu.ItemContainerStyle>
<MenuItem Header="Department Schedule" />
<MenuItem Header="Employee Schedule"/>
<MenuItem Header="Temporary Schedule"/>
<MenuItem Header="Schedule View"/>
</Menu>
</Expander>
Here's the calendar.png that I used for this example (WARNING: IT'S WHITE SO YOU WILL NEED TO CLICK ON IT TO SEE IT):
Now if you want to change the arrow icon to something that looks like the picture you provided, you will need to override the Expander's ControlTemplate entirely, and replace it with your own arrow icon. Here's a good guide from codeproject. It will take some studying and understanding on your part here, so I will leave that exercise up to you.

Changing mouseover effect on Mahapps Tile

So recently I've started using MahApps.Metro for an application.
It's been going great, but one problem I cannot solve is MouseOver effect on a Tile.
I have a Grid, in which there's an Expander that hosts all the Tiles each of which represent a connection to the specific database. They are bound to an ObservableCollection which I populate from another database.
<Grid>
<Expander Margin="5" Header="Server Connections">
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding OmsConnections}" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
<ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<WrapPanel IsItemsHost="True" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<controls:Tile
Title="{Binding Name}"
controls:ControlsHelper.MouseOverBorderBrush="{DynamicResource BlackBrush}"
Background="{DynamicResource GrayBrush2}"
Command="{Binding DataContext.TileClickCommand, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ListBox}}"
CommandParameter="{Binding}"
HorizontalTitleAlignment="Left"
Style="{StaticResource LargeTileStyle}"
TiltFactor="2">
<Image
Width="60"
Height="60"
Source="{Binding OmsConnectionTypeId, Converter={StaticResource ConnectionTypeToIconConverter}}" />
</controls:Tile>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</Expander>
</Grid>
This is the style applied via Style
<Style x:Key="LargeTileStyle" TargetType="controls:Tile">
<Setter Property="Height" Value="125" />
<Setter Property="TitleFontSize" Value="14" />
<Setter Property="TextOptions.TextFormattingMode" Value="Display" />
<Setter Property="TextOptions.TextRenderingMode" Value="ClearType" />
<Setter Property="Width" Value="210" />
</Style>
So Whenever I mouseover an item I get the black border as specified, and this Orange Background Color (Which, if I'm not mistaken, is AccentColorBrush3) and I have no idea how to change it.
Here's the Image, since my rep is low and i cannot embed it.
Also, I'm really, really bad with Templates and Styles, so this is pretty much what i scrapped from the internet. ANY Feedback would be much appreciated for both the way I Bound to a collection and how to change the MouseOver color.
You could "override" the AccentColorBrush3 resource by adding a SolidColorBrush resource to the ListBox:
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding OmsConnections}" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
<!-- Specify the highlight brush here: -->
<ListBox.Resources>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="AccentColorBrush3" Color="Yellow" />
</ListBox.Resources>
<ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<WrapPanel IsItemsHost="True" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<controls:Tile
Title="{Binding Name}"
controls:ControlsHelper.MouseOverBorderBrush="{DynamicResource BlackBrush}"
Background="{DynamicResource GrayBrush2}"
Command="{Binding DataContext.TileClickCommand, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ListBox}}"
CommandParameter="{Binding}"
HorizontalTitleAlignment="Left"
Style="{StaticResource LargeTileStyle}"
TiltFactor="2">
<Image Width="60"
Height="60"
Source="{Binding OmsConnectionTypeId, Converter={StaticResource ConnectionTypeToIconConverter}}" />
</controls:Tile>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

How to achieve the complex UI using ItemControl in silverlight

I am working on creating a complex report which almost looks like shown in here image
For this I have create a collection where I will store all the descriptions and its corresponding ratings.
This collection is then I am binding to a ItemControl. The collection will be fetched from database depending on criteria's.
Now my problem is how to fragment or separate single ItemControl to look like shown in image. Should I use multiple collections which will be then bind to different ItemControl ? Can I use multiple datagrids?
I am out of ideas... Any suggestions / examples much appreciated.
Definitely do-able. Treat each block (such as Mathmatics, Arts Education etc) as an item, and you're then just dealing with an ItemsCollection. Create a style for how to present each item in that collection, and another style for how to present each property in your block (which will also feature a collection of something.
An example I have of something similar, was blocks which consisted of a heading, and a varied number of checkboxes each with a description. There could be a varying number of these blocks too.
In my view, that displayed these blocks, my xaml looked something like this:
<ScrollViewer VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" MaxHeight="100">
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding FeatureFlags, Mode=TwoWay}" Style="{StaticResource FlagGroupsAndFlagsItemsControlStyle}" />
</ScrollViewer>
I then had a style for that ItemsControl defined in a resource dictionary somewhere ...
<Style x:Key="FlagGroupsAndFlagsItemsControlStyle" TargetType="ItemsControl">
<Setter Property="Width" Value="Auto" />
<Setter Property="ItemTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid x:Name="FlagListGrid">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBox Grid.Row="0" Width="{Binding Width, ElementName=FlagListGrid, Mode=OneWay}" IsReadOnly="True" Text="{Binding Name}" />
<ListBox Grid.Row="1" Width="{Binding Width, ElementName=FlagListGrid, Mode=OneWay}" ItemsSource="{Binding Flags}" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
Style="{StaticResource FlagsListBoxItemsStyle}" Background="{Binding IsOptional, Converter={StaticResource YNToOptionalBackgroundColour}}"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
And then a style for the items within that templates ListBox ...
<Style x:Key="FlagsListBoxItemsStyle" TargetType="ListBox">
<Setter Property="ItemsPanel">
<Setter.Value>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<toolkit:WrapPanel Width="{Binding Width, ElementName=FlagListGrid, Mode=OneWay}" Orientation="Horizontal" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="ItemTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<CheckBox Width="20" Height="18" VerticalAlignment="Top" IsChecked="{Binding IsSelected, Mode=TwoWay}" />
<TextBlock Width="180" MinHeight="18" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="{Binding Description}" TextWrapping="Wrap" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Unfortunately I can't show you an image of what the finished result looks like, but I hope these pointers could set you on track for your very similar problem

Binding a command defined in a datatemplate

I know there are few answers on this topic. But none of them was working in my case.
I have a ListView with a style and an ItemContainerStyle. In the ItemContainer Style, I define some triggers in order to use a different DataTemplate depending if the item in the list is selected or not. Then, finally in the Datatemplate I have a context menu with a command. The problem is how to bind the command to the viewmodel.
This is the ListView:
<ListView
x:Name="lstPersons"
Grid.Row="1"
Style="{StaticResource ListViewStyle}"
ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ItemContainerStyle}"
DataContext="{Binding}"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Persons}"
Tag="{Binding}"
SelectedItem="{Binding Path=SelectedPerson, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}">
</ListView>
and these are the styles, datatemplates and contextmenu (defined in a resource dictionary).
The commands in the context menu do not work....:
<ContextMenu x:Key="SelectedItemContextMenu">
<MenuItem
Header="Do Something"
Command="{Binding Path=DataContext.DoSomethingCmd, ElementName=LayoutRoot}">
</MenuItem>
<MenuItem
Header="Do Something"
Command="{Binding PlacementTarget.Tag.DoSomethingCmd, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ContextMenu}}">
</MenuItem>
</ContextMenu>
<DataTemplate
x:Key="ItemTemplate">
<Canvas
Margin="4"
Width="60"
Height="60"
Background="LightGray">
<TextBlock
Foreground="Black"
Margin="2 0 0 0"
Opacity="0.5"
FontFamily="Segoe UI"
Text="{Binding Path=FirstName}" />
</Canvas>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate
x:Key="ItemSelectedTemplate">
<Grid>
<Border
BorderBrush="Black"
BorderThickness="1"
Margin="3"
ContextMenu="{DynamicResource SelectedItemContextMenu}">
<Canvas
Width="60"
Height="60"
Background="LightBlue">
<TextBlock
Foreground="Black"
Margin="2 0 0 0"
Opacity="0.5"
FontFamily="Segoe UI"
Text="{Binding Path=FirstName}" />
</Canvas>
</Border>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
<!--style of the listviewitem-->
<Style
TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}"
x:Key="ItemContainerStyle">
<Setter
Property="ContentTemplate"
Value="{StaticResource ItemTemplate}" />
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger
Property="IsSelected"
Value="True">
<Setter
Property="ContentTemplate"
Value="{StaticResource ItemSelectedTemplate}" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
<!--style of the listview-->
<Style
TargetType="{x:Type ListBox}"
x:Key="ListViewStyle">
<Setter
Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate
TargetType="{x:Type ListBox}">
<Grid>
<Border>
<ScrollViewer
Focusable="false">
<WrapPanel
IsItemsHost="True"
Orientation="Horizontal"
Width="{Binding (FrameworkElement.ActualWidth), RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ScrollContentPresenter}}"/>
</ScrollViewer>
</Border>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Your ContextMenu is used inside a data template. I will be put in a different name scope of "LayoutRoot" and ElementName binding won't work. Also, the PlacementTarget of your context menu is the Border, and you've not setup any Tag on it. So the second command won't work either.
It looks like you are implement the commands on the ListBox level (or LayoutRoot?). It might be easier to put your context menu on the ListBox, and use ListBox.SelectedItem to find the current selection and apply your logic on it.
You can use RelativeSource:
<ContextMenu x:Key="SelectedItemContextMenu">
<MenuItem
Header="Do Something"
Command="{Binding Path=DataContext.DoSomethingCmd, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=Window}}">
</MenuItem>
</ContextMenu>
You should probably be using RoutedCommands instead of VM commands in this case. You would bind the RoutedCommand to the ContextMenu, and since you only need static object references for that, finding them shouldn't be a problem. Then you'd set up appropriate CommandBindings on the controls that should handle the commands (either ListView or ListViewItem, depending on whether you want the List-ViewModel or the Item-ViewModel to handle the command). These controls will know their ViewModels, so binding to them will not be a problem there. Through the process of Command Routing, which is built-in in WPF, the context menu will find the proper target for its command automatically.
For guidance on how to set up CommandBindings in a MVVM-friendly way, you might want to refer to http://wpfglue.wordpress.com/2012/05/07/commanding-binding-controls-to-methods/

WPF Metro Styling ListBox

I'm having a problem styling my ListBox selection background.
I used ListView originally, it was less problematic with styling but moving this to Silverlight app, I found out that it doesn't have ListView so I just used ListBox.
I want my app to be easily ported in Silverlight and also in Windows Phone so I used ListBox and now am having a trouble with the style.
My Metro app has Dark theme and I have custom ListBoxItem but am not sure why when I clicked on it, it looks like this
originally when using ListView, it looks like this
adding background color in my custom ItemsTemplate make it look this
How do I get rid of that White background and also restyle the item when hovered because it looks like this
this my XAML for listbox so far
<ListBox Grid.Row="3" Name="lvSubmeters" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" SelectedItem="{Binding Path=SelectedListViewItem, Mode=TwoWay}" SelectedIndex="{Binding Path=SelectedListViewIndex, Mode=TwoWay}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource SubmeterItems}" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Store.AllItems}" Background="{x:Null}" Foreground="White">
<ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0" />
</Style>
</ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
</ListBox>
and also if you want my custom ItemsTemplate
<DataTemplate x:Name="SubmeterItems">
<Grid VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="5,5,5,5">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="166"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="100*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="200"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<StackPanel Grid.Column="0" VerticalAlignment="Top">

<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Top" Text="{Binding Fullname}" FontSize="16" />
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Grid.Column="1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="95">
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Top" Text=" " FontSize="24" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="#FF429AA3" />

</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
I tried taking this to Blend 4 but I can't find the way to do it.
It looks to me like your screenshots from above don't quite match the XAML that you've provided, however I think I can answer your questions.
For the white border around each item - From the way that the border changes to Purple when the item is selected, you can tell that it is part of the ItemContainer (because that is what gets selected). The ItemContainer will contain the Content of each ListBoxItem. The Content is rendered using the DataTemple (or ItemTemplate property). In your DataTemplate, you have a margin of 5 around the topmost grid, meaning that when the Content is rendered using that DataTemplate, there will be a margin around the outside of the content. That seems to be what you're getting with your white border around each item, so I'm pretty sure that's what is going on. Get rid of the margin in the top most grid of the DataTemplate, and the white border will be gone. If this isn't correct, please provide more complete XAML example (including the parent XAML element of the Listbox) because the xaml above, on its own, does not yield a white border when the Window background is Black.
Changing the colors/style of the ListBoxItem is pretty easy, and there are several ways to do it. The easiest way (in my opinion) is to add a trigger to the ItemContainerStyle that adjusts the background color on MouseOver. Here is a simple example, extending your existing ItemContainerStyle (triggers can be much more advanced, if you wish):
<ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="5" />
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Green"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
Hope that helps.

List of groups of data with multiple interactive UI elements

I'm currently working on a WPF application, it's my first so I'm learning as I go.
The basics are fine but I've hit a problem with what I'm trying to do at the moment. There seem to be tons of ways that might work but I'm pretty sure that I'm going down the path of making it harder than it needs to be.
What I need is some guidance on the simplest way to implement a piece of UI.
I'm using c# 4, wpf and the MVVM pattern.
The data I'm wanting to display looks like this:
obj1 ----< obj2 ----< obj3
i.e. a single obj1 has many obj2's which has many (specifically 1-3) obj3's
On my screen, I want to see a list/datagrid type view of the obj2 elements with the associated obj3 elements nested underneath.
The obj2 elements need to show a few text values and a check box (that will fire the appropriate command in the view model when toggled).
The obj3 elements need to show an image, possibly some text and be clickable (again, firing the appropriate command to the view model).
At first I looked at creating a custom control for the obj3 element, a custom control based on ItemsControl for a list of obj3 elements, another custom control for the obj2 element and finally another custom control to display a list of obj2 elements.
However, a little way in, I've got the feeling that I've massively over-complicated it.
Can I just use user controls? Do I even need them at all or can I just use the regular List control with a template?
Some pointers would be very welcome.
Thanks.
I spent quite some time getting this working as I wanted so thought I'd share...
The answer turned out to be a nested list control with data templates and associated view models for the items in each list. The list control is so much more flexible in WPF than Winforms that you can do pretty much anything with it.
I've found many different things that have helped on many different sites but the core details came from Dr.WPF: http://drwpf.com/blog/category/collections/
I won't post all the code as it's rather long. The core of it though is to first setup the list view in the user control:
<ListView Name="list" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" Focusable="False"
IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True" ItemsPanel="{StaticResource VerticalItemsPanel}"
ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource Obj2ContainerStyle}" ItemsSource="{Binding Obj2List}">
</ListView>
The keys things here are the ItemsPanel and ItemContainerStyle. These define the properties of the panel that contains all list items and the style for each list item respectively.
They are contained in the resources for the user control.
<ItemsPanelTemplate x:Key="VerticalItemsPanel">
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" Focusable="False" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
<Style x:Key="Obj2ContainerStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=Enabled}" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="LightSalmon"></Setter>
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=Enabled}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="PaleGreen"></Setter>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
I also have the data templates. The first tells the system to use the second for displaying objects of type Obj2ViewModel
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type src:Obj2ViewModel}">
<ContentControl x:Name="Obj2Host" Focusable="False" Content="{Binding}"
ContentTemplate="{StaticResource Obj2ViewTemplate}" />
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="Obj2ViewTemplate">
<DataTemplate.Resources>
<ItemsPanelTemplate x:Key="HorizontalItemsPanel">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
<Style x:Key="Obj3ContainerStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
<Grid>
<Rectangle StrokeThickness="1" Stroke="#FF000000" Margin="0" />
<ContentPresenter x:Name="ContentHost" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="LabelStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Label}">
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="0,0,4,0" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Left" />
</Style>
<Style x:Key="DataStyle" TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}">
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="0,0,4,0" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Left" />
<Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold" />
</Style>
</DataTemplate.Resources>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />

</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Content="{StaticResource Label1Text}" Style="{StaticResource LabelStyle}"/>
<Label Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Content="{StaticResource Label2Text}" Style="{StaticResource LabelStyle}"/>
<Label Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Content="{StaticResource Label3Text}" Style="{StaticResource LabelStyle}"/>
<Label Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="0" Content="{StaticResource Label4Text}" Style="{StaticResource LabelStyle}"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Property1}" Style="{StaticResource DataStyle}"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Property2}" Style="{StaticResource DataStyle}"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Property3}" Style="{StaticResource DataStyle}"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Text="{Binding Property4}" Style="{StaticResource DataStyle}"/>
<ListView Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="3" Grid.Column="2" Name="Obj3List"
HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Center"
IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True"
ItemsPanel="{StaticResource HorizontalItemsPanel}"
ItemsSource="{Binding Obj3s}"
ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource Obj3ContainerStyle}"
BorderThickness="0"
Background="Transparent">
</ListView>
<CheckBox Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="4" Grid.Column="3" VerticalAlignment="Center"
IsChecked="{Binding Property5}" IsEnabled="{Binding NotExpired}" >
</CheckBox>
<Image Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="4" Grid.Column="4" Source="{StaticResource DeleteIcon}" Stretch="None">
<i:Interaction.Triggers>
<i:EventTrigger EventName="MouseUp">
<cmd:EventToCommand PassEventArgsToCommand="False" Command="{Binding DeleteObj2Command, Mode=OneWay}"/>
</i:EventTrigger>
</i:Interaction.Triggers>
</Image>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
The second data template above contains another list view. This one containing Obj3 items.
The style for these is specified within the DataTemplate's resources section.
Finally, the User control's resources also contains the data templates for the Obj3 elements:
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type src:Obj3ViewModel}">
<ContentControl x:Name="Obj3Host" Focusable="False" Content="{Binding}"
ContentTemplate="{StaticResource Obj3ViewTemplate}" />
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="Obj3ViewTemplate">
<Image Source="{Binding Image}" Stretch="None">
<i:Interaction.Triggers>
<i:EventTrigger EventName="MouseUp">
<cmd:EventToCommand PassEventArgsToCommand="False" Command="{Binding ToggleEnabledCommand, Mode=OneWay}"/>
</i:EventTrigger>
</i:Interaction.Triggers>
</Image>
</DataTemplate>
Note that the EventToCommand stuff is thanks to the MVVM Light toolkit. It's not a standard .NET thing.
