So i have this TextBlock:
<TextBlock
Text="{Binding Path=Value, ElementName=progressBarColumn, StringFormat={}{0:N2}%}"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
Foreground="{DynamicResource ProgressBarForegroundColor}"
FontFamily="{DynamicResource ProgressBarFontFamily}"
FontSize="{DynamicResource ProgressBarFontSize}"/>
And i want to be able to control this String Format from N2 to N1 etc. so i created this :
<system:String x:Key="ProgressBarStringFormat">N2</system:String>
Usage:
Text="{Binding Path=Value, ElementName=progressBarColumn, StringFormat={}{0:ProgressBarStringFormat}%}"
And in my Progress-Bar instead of seen the Value i only see ProgressBarStringFormat text.
You can't have anything but a literal for a property of a Binding. But if you're willing to use a ContentControl or a Label instead of a TextBlock, you can stick a DynamicResource or a Binding on the ContentStringFormat property thereof:
<Label
Margin="0"
Content="{Binding Value, ElementName=progressBarColumn}"
ContentStringFormat="{DynamicResource ProgressBarStringFormat}"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
Foreground="{DynamicResource ProgressBarForegroundColor}"
TextElement.FontFamily="{DynamicResource ProgressBarFontFamily}"
TextElement.FontSize="{DynamicResource ProgressBarFontSize}"
/>
I'm setting Margin to zero because Label will have a default margin set in its implicit style, unlike TextBlock.

Exception using content presenter
Type 'System.Windows.Controls.ContentPresenter' does not have a content property.
Specify the name of the property to set, or add a ContentPropertyAttribute or
TypeConverterAttribute on the type.
Below is the XAML
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsSelected}" Content="{Binding Series}" Width="50" VerticalAlignment="Center" Checked="CheckSeries_Checked" Unchecked="CheckSeries_UnChecked" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
</ComboBox>
You are trying to set the ContentPresenter.Content property implicitly by setting the inner text of the ContentPresenter control:
<ContentPresenter>
MyContent
</ContentPresenter>
Instead you should set it like this
<ContentPresenter Content="MyContent" />
You're getting this error because ContentPresenter doesn't have the ContentProperty Attribute which tells the XAML parser to set the inner text as the value for its Content property.
Well the only guess possible in this case is that you are trying to assign "content" property instead of "Content" with capital C. If it's not then post your XAML code please.
Have you tried using
Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"
Since it is a datatemplate, and the content will be set by the ItemSource used?
How to exclude TextBlock from tabbing sequence in SILVERLIGHT Grid XAML. I know for TextBox, we use IsTabStop false OR TabIndex -1, but same property is not avaiable for TextBlock
I have 4 controls, 1 and 4 are TextBox (editable) and 2 and 3 are TextBlock (non editable). When I tab, all the 4 are included in the tabbing sequence.
I want to exclude 2,3 (Textblocks) from tabbing. Means, If I tab from TextBox 1, focus should move directly to TextBox 4. please help.

Try setting attached property KeyboardNavigation.TabNavigation to None.
<TextBlock KeyboardNavigation.TabNavigation="None"/>
Set Focusable="False" for the textblock
I think you may need to work on the DataGrid Column rather than the Cell content (your TextBlock) it is the Cell that is Focussed not the TextBlock.
You could assign an event handler to the CellEnter Event (accessible from the definition of the original column) and then set the DataGrids selected cell selected property to false. Not the neatest solution but it should work.
Alternatively you could create a behaviour to do this....
Hope this helps!
I have an ItemsControl which displays a list of messages. It's defined as ...
<ItemsControl HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
ItemsSource="{Binding Messages}" >
</ItemsControl>
I then have a DataTemplate which handles the display for each message. It's defined as...
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type vm:MessageViewModel}">
<Button Command="{Binding CommandOpenPage}">
<Button.Template>
<ControlTemplate>
<Border Margin="2" BorderThickness="1"
BorderBrush="{Binding Flags, Converter={StaticResource msgFlagConverter}}"
Background="{Binding Flags, Converter={StaticResource msgFlagConverter}, ConverterParameter=1}" >
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Message}" Style="{StaticResource ActionItem}" TextWrapping="Wrap" />
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Button.Template>
</Button>
</DataTemplate>
Everything displays OK. My problem is when the parent controls are set to Visibility=Collapsed my ItemsControl still goes through the DataTemplate and calls the converters for BorderBrush and BackgroundBrush for each MessageViewModel.
This is bothersome because when the list is very large the bindings are set and converters are executed when they shouldn't. This list is only visible when the user chooses to see it. I understood the binding engine ignores elements under a collapsed parent. Is there an exception to this rule? Or am I just missing something?
I found my problem. The above ItemsControl and DataTemplate were in a UserControl. The visibility was originally handled inside the usercontrol itself by binding the main layout grid to a visibility property. By simply setting the user controls visibility in the parent XAML all bindings started behaving as expected.
This fixes my problem but I still don't understand the difference between setting the visibility of the main layout grid vs the visibility of the usercontrol itself.
<c:ApplicationMenuView Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="4"
HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="1"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
DataContext="{Binding Menu}"
Visibility="{Binding IsVisible, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}"/>
I have a DataTemplate that I am using for a cell in a gridview. I would like to switch between the progress bar and the text/link block. Is there a way to hide an element so that it is removed from the flow and takes up no space while it is hidden (like "display:none" in CSS)? Is there a better way to approach this?
DataTemplate looks like:
<DataTemplate x:Key="DataTemplate2">
<StackPanel Height="40">
<TextBlock Visibility="{Binding ButtonVisibility}">
<Hyperlink Click="btn_Authorise">
<InlineUIContainer>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Button}" />
</InlineUIContainer>
</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>
<ProgressBar Value="{Binding Progress}"
Visibility="{Binding ProgressVisibility}"
Height="15"
Width="150"
Background="{DynamicResource NormalBrush}"
BorderThickness="0"
BorderBrush="#FF8D8D8D"
Style="{DynamicResource ProgressBarStyle1}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
Visibility.Collapsed is probably what you need (as opposed to Visibility.Hidden which still makes the control take part in layout calculations)
Also see the Visibility enumeration reference.
Yep.
Visibility is an enumeration, Visible, Hidden, and Collapsed.
Hidden is just non-visible, whereas Collapsed means it takes no space also
I have bind my Amount Label's Content Property to a decimal property via DataContext. I am trying to apply stringformat but see no effect. Does StringFormat feature work on Label controls ?? Please tell me on which controls does this feature work. BTW following is the code for the Label Control for whom i want to apply the currency formatting
<Label Grid.Column="2" Content="{Binding Path=Amount, StringFormat={}{0:C}}" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="100,10,0,0" Name="tb" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="120" />
StringFormat works on properties of type string (when the object you are binding to is being converted to a string the string format is applied). The Content property is of type Object.
You can place a TextBlock inside your label to achieve the desired effect:
<Label Grid.Column="2" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="100,10,0,0" Name="tb" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="120">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Amount, StringFormat={}{0:C}}"/>
</Label>
Try ContentStringFormat
