<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="pointGroupTemplate" DataType="{x:Type ac:PointGroup}">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" />
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="tt2" DataType="{x:Type ac:PointGroup}">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding PointsCount}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
the first template works well with:
<ComboBox x:Name="comboBox1" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource pointGroupTemplate}" SelectionChanged="ComboBox1_SelectionChanged"
Height="25" Margin="0,5,0,5">
but i want to use the second one in a textblock
<TextBlock x:Name="textBlock1" Text="{Binding ElementName=comboBox1 ,Path=SelectedItem ?????}"/>
anyhelp.
In order to have a DataTemplate applied, you need a ContentPresenter or ContentControl:
<ContentControl ContentTemplate="{StaticResource tt2}"
Content="{Binding SelectedItem, ElementName=comboBox1}"/>

Of the following code
<TreeView Name="tree" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=AllNotes}">
<TreeView.Resources>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate DataType="{x:Type m:Note}" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=ListIssuesType}">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=SoftwareVersion}" Margin="2" />
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate DataType="{x:Type m:IssueType}" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=IssueNames}">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=IssueTypeName}" Margin="2" />
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type m:IssueType}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=IssueTypeName}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</TreeView.Resources>
</TreeView>
I get the error:
"Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: 'DataTemplateKey(ReleaseNotes_Window.Models.IssueType)' Key being added: 'DataTemplateKey(ReleaseNotes_Window.Models.IssueType)'"
When you put something into a ResourceDictionary it either needs an explicit x:Key or the key will be determined by the DictionaryKeyPropertyAttribute applied on the class.
For DataTemplate it is the following:
[DictionaryKeyProperty("DataTemplateKey")]
public class DataTemplate : FrameworkTemplate
This will depend on the DataType.
Because you have:
<HierarchicalDataTemplate DataType="{x:Type m:IssueType}" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=IssueNames}">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=IssueTypeName}" Margin="2" />
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
And
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type m:IssueType}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=IssueTypeName}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
Both with DataType="{x:Type m:IssueType}", that's why the program fails.
Use an additional x:Key for one of the DataTemplates and reference it as a StaticResource where you're planning to use it.
I have created a WPF app.In that I have a Datatemplate as follows
<DataTemplate x:Key="ItemTemplate">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="item"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Number}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
I have an ItemsControl like this
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
Grid.Column="1"
Grid.Row="3"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ItemTemplateWithButton}" />
where I need a itemtemplate like this
<DataTemplate x:Key="ItemTemplateWithButton">
<StackPanel>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="item"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Number}"/>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel>
<Button>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="item"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Number}"/>
</StackPanel>
</Button>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
Is there any possibility of reusing the datatemplate in the new itemscontrol?
You can use ContentControl too
<DataTemplate x:Key="ItemTemplate">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="item"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Number}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="ItemTemplateWithButton">
<StackPanel>
<ContentControl ContentTemplate="{StaticResource ItemTemplate}" />
<Button>
<ContentControl ContentTemplate="{StaticResource ItemTemplate}" />
</Button>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
What I understand by reading this answer and what Liero mentioned in the comments is it's possible to reuse a DataTemplate by using either ContentPresenter or ContentControl. However:
ContentPresenter is more lightweight.
ContentPresenter is designed to be used inside control templates.
ContnetPresenter is designed to be used as-is while ContentControl is designed to be extended (inherited from).
As a result, here is a solution based on what you asked:
<DataTemplate x:Key="ItemTemplate">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="item"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Number}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="ItemTemplateWithButton">
<StackPanel>
<ContentPresenter ContentTemplate="{StaticResource ItemTemplate}"/>
<StackPanel>
<Button Content="{Binding}" ContentTemplate="{StaticResource ItemTemplate}" />
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
You could create a UserControl to hold the xaml you want to reuse:
<UserControl x:Class="StackOverflow.SharedControl"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<Grid>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="item">
</TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Number}"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
Then use this UserControl in both templates.
<DataTemplate x:Key="ItemTemplate">
<controls:SharedControl/>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="ItemTemplateWithButton">
<StackPanel>
<controls:SharedControl/>
<StackPanel>
<Button>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="item">
</TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Number}"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</Button>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
How can I specify multiple DataTemplate in windows.resources for use by a ContentControl?
My code:
<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="CustomerTemplate" DataType="{x:Type local:Customer}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding FirstName}"/>
<TextBlock Text=" ("/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Occupation}"/>
<TextBlock Text=")"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="PersonTemplate" DataType="{x:Type local:Person}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding FirstName}"/>
<TextBlock Text=" - "/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding LastName}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
Thank you so much!
Use DataTemplateSelector to return the Datatemplate you want to be applied..
<ContentControl ContentTemplateSelector="{StaticResource MyTemplateSelector}"/>
here MYtemplateselector is DataTemplateSelector, in Select() method of selector you can check for the property bound to contentcontrol and return the corresponding Datatemplate.
Thanks
Remove x:Key from DataTemplate and try this:
<ContentControl Name="CustomerContentControl">
<local:Customer />
</ContentControl>
<ContentControl Name="PersonContentControl">
<local:Person />
</ContentControl>
In this article, Josh Smith show, how to get access the elements that are in the DataTemplate:
How to use FindName with a ContentControl
I´m using devexpress and I want to do a binding with a Listbox, but I have an error. Here my code:
<ListBox x:Name="_list" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<dxd:LayoutPanel
Caption="{Binding nameList}"
AllowHide ="False" AllowFloat="False"
GotFocus="panel_GotFocus" >
<TextBox Text="Hello" />
</dxd:LayoutPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
With this code, Caption {Binding nameList} is empty.
I have tried this.
<ListBox x:Name="_list" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<TextBox Text="{Binding nameList}" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
In this case, text in TextBox is correct, I need to use the first code.
You seem to be a bit confused about how to use this ListBox. First, you need a collection property to bind to the ListBox.ItemsSource property. Let's say you have a collection of User objects called Users:
<ListBox ItemSource="{Binding Users}" />
Now we want to define how each User should be displayed... all the properties of the User class will be available to the Binding inside the DataTemplate. Let's say that the User class has two properties; Name and Age:
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type YourDataTypeNamespace:User}">
<StackPanel>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Name}" />
<TextBox Text="{Binding Age}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
Then putting it all together:
<ListBox ItemSource="{Binding Users}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type YourDataTypeNamespace:User}">
<StackPanel>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Name}" />
<TextBox Text="{Binding Age}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
I'm new to WPF and this following has stumped me for a while now:
I have an observableCollection of People object in my model that is bound to my tabControl. So each my a new People object is added, a new tab is created with People.Title as the Tab's header.
Each People object has an ObservableCollection of Friend object. Inside of the Tab I would like to have a List of two textboxes, one for Friend.FirstName and another for Friend.LastName.
My first requirement is working fine, but the second one is giving me an error 'ItemsSource is already in use'
Here's my code so far:
<TabControl Name="ConversationTabs" Grid.Row="0"
ItemsSource="{Binding}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource HeaderInfoTabControl}"
ContentTemplate="{StaticResource DialogueList}" />
<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="HeaderInfoTabControl">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Title}" />
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="DialogueList">
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Path=DialogueCollectionVM}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Sent}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=DateSent}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Message}" />
</StackPanel>
</ItemsControl>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
I appreciate your help.
You cannot add items to an ItemsControl and use the automatic population (via ItemsSource) at the same time. If that StackPanel is supposed to be used for the items in the ItemsSource you should do this:
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Path=DialogueCollectionVM}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Sent}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=DateSent}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Message}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
