Dynamically set a property in an Item Template - wpf

I set an image path of an Image in a StackPanel used in a GroupItem using the following resource (which as is works fine):
<Style x:Key="GroupHeaderStyle" TargetType="{x:Type GroupItem}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type GroupItem}">
<Expander Name="expander" IsExpanded="True" >
<Expander.Header>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Source="pack://application:,,,/Resources/History.ico" Margin="2,0"
Width="18" Height="18" ></Image>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Padding="2,0"/>
</StackPanel>
</Expander.Header>
<ItemsPresenter />
</Expander>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Which is used in this DataGrid:
<DataGrid Name="JobHistory" CanUserAddRows="False" AutoGenerateColumns="False" ColumnWidth="*"
CanUserDeleteRows="False" ItemsSource="{Binding}" Grid.Row="2"
Grid.ColumnSpan="5" CanUserResizeRows="False"
Grid.RowSpan="2" IsTextSearchEnabled="True" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" >
<DataGrid.GroupStyle>
<GroupStyle ContainerStyle="{StaticResource GroupHeaderStyle}">
<GroupStyle.Panel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<DataGridRowsPresenter/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</GroupStyle.Panel>
</GroupStyle>
</DataGrid.GroupStyle>
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Status" Width="Auto" IsReadOnly="True">
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Image Source="{Binding ResultImagePath}" Height="18" Width="18"/>
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn>
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Job description" Binding="{Binding JobDescription}"/>
</DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>
The DataView is grouped via this code:
ListCollectionView collection = new ListCollectionView(JobData);
collection.GroupDescriptions.Add(new PropertyGroupDescription("Name"));
JobHistory.ItemsSource = collection;
My Question: How can I dynamically set the image Source in the StackPanel?
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Source="pack://application:,,,/Resources/History.ico" Margin="2,0"
Width="18" Height="18" ></Image>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Padding="2,0"/>
</StackPanel>
Edit 1:
Using:
<UserControl.Resources>
<Image x:Key="image" Source="pack://application:,,,/Resources/History.ico" Height="18" Width="18" Margin="2,0"/>
</UserControl.Resources>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<ContentControl Content="{StaticResource ResourceKey=image}"/>
Width="18" Height="18" ></Image>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Padding="2,0"/>
</StackPanel>
as user2760623 suggested works.
My Problem however remains. At any given time I have multiple rows grouped by "Name". There can also be several different Groups. Depending on the Jobs current Status, I would like to Change the Image in the GroupItem Header. So how do I figure out which header is the "right" Header, and how do I manipulate exactly that one single Header?

Put the image source as a dynamic resource, and then you can change it. Just do the following:
Define the namespace - xmlns:clr="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib".
Add as resource - <clr:String x:Key="imageSource" >the path...</clr:String>.
And the image itself - <Image Source="{DynamicResource ResourceKey=imageSource}".
And when you want to change it - this.Resources["imageSource"] = "another path...".
You can also do the same concept just put the whole image as a resource (instead of just the image path), than you don't need to add the namespace (number 1 above). And put it as a Content of a ContentControl -
<ContentControl Content="{StaticResource ResourceKey=image}"/>.

Datagrid - ItemsPresenter - vertical Scrollviewer

Hello Stackoverflow Members,
i'm new! sorry for the quick an short problem. But i need your help!
i have a Datagrid with 2000 rows. (grouped on CustomerNbr)
vb.net
Dim grouped As New ListCollectionView(full_list)
grouped.GroupDescriptions.Add(New PropertyGroupDescription("CustNbr"))
Datagrid.ItemsSource = grouped
This code worked fine
<DataGrid.GroupStyle>
<GroupStyle>
<GroupStyle.HeaderTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</GroupStyle.HeaderTemplate>
<GroupStyle.ContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type GroupItem}">
<Setter Property="Template" >
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type GroupItem}">
<Expander MaxHeight="400" FontWeight="Bold" Background="{Binding Path=Items, Converter={StaticResource convert_Backcolor}}" >
<Expander.Header>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" >
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}" Margin="10,0,10,0" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Items, Converter={StaticResource convert_Cust_Name}}" MinWidth="300" Margin="10,0,10,0" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Items, Converter={StaticResource convert_Summe},ConverterCulture=de-DE, StringFormat={}{0:n2}}" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="40,0,0,0" />
</StackPanel>
</Expander.Header>
<ItemsPresenter />
</Expander>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</GroupStyle.ContainerStyle>
</GroupStyle>
</DataGrid.GroupStyle>
But when i add a scrollviewer at the ItemsPresenter i get an error:
<ScrollViewer>
<ItemsPresenter />
</ScrollViewer>
the error comes, when i make the second grouped custnbr
screen
Error: invalidOperationExeption was unhandled
I need the ScrollViewer because i have so many invoices on the CustNbr. The Problem is in Expander. In Expander.Content the vertical ScrollViewer is not support or something...
can anybody help me?
SOLUTION: in Datagrid Header this statements are not allowed: CanUserAddRows="False" CanUserDeleteRows="False" IsReadOnly="True"

Use CollectionViewSource with TabControl

I'm trying to group and display the items of an ObservableCollection, just by using XAML code. It works well using a simple CollectionViewSource and a ListBox[1].
Actually, I would prefer to display the group's content in a tabcontrol. Google led me to the following social.msdn article wich presents a workaround to display the groups as a TabControl using code behind:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/e073f275-0826-4fca-b9da-e310ccf1713e/wpf-grouping?forum=wpf
However, as I'm using MVVM and must rely on xaml only, I can't get it to work. Actually, the CollectionViewSource populates the groups (the TabControl shows the correct tabItemHeaders), but clicking on any of these TabItems freezes the application. Here's what I've tried:
<StackPanel x:Key="ModulSelectInputParameterView">
<StackPanel.Resources>
<CollectionViewSource x:Key="cvs" x:Name="collectionViewSource" Source="{Binding ReferencedLmtItem.ModulInputParameterCollection }">
<CollectionViewSource.GroupDescriptions>
<PropertyGroupDescription PropertyName="Category"/>
</CollectionViewSource.GroupDescriptions>
</CollectionViewSource>
</StackPanel.Resources>
<Grid >
<TabControl ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvs}, Path=Groups, Mode=OneWay}" DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvs}, Mode=OneWay}">
<!-- First Level -->
<TabControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</TabControl.ItemTemplate>
<TabControl.ContentTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
Second Level
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Expander Header="{Binding Name}">
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
The Item of the Collection
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Key}"/>
<TextBlock Text=" - "/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Value.Comment}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</Expander>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</DataTemplate>
</TabControl.ContentTemplate>
</TabControl>
</Grid>
</StackPanel>
[1]: This peace of xaml does work as expected, but uses a wrappanel to display groups contents:
<StackPanel x:Key="ModulSelectInputParameterView">
<StackPanel.Resources>
<CollectionViewSource x:Key="cvs" x:Name="collectionViewSource" Source="{Binding ReferencedLmtItem.ModulInputParameterCollection }">
<CollectionViewSource.GroupDescriptions>
<PropertyGroupDescription PropertyName="Category"/>
</CollectionViewSource.GroupDescriptions>
</CollectionViewSource>
</StackPanel.Resources>
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvs}}" VerticalContentAlignment="Top" ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ModulSelectInputParameterListBoxItemContainerStyle}" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
<ListBox.GroupStyle>
<GroupStyle>
<GroupStyle.HeaderTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Border BorderBrush="DarkGray" BorderThickness="2" Margin="2">
<TextBlock FontWeight="Bold" FontSize="14" Text="{Binding Path=Name}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" MinWidth="100"/>
</Border>
</DataTemplate>
</GroupStyle.HeaderTemplate>
<GroupStyle.Panel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<WrapPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="2"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</GroupStyle.Panel>
<GroupStyle.ContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type GroupItem}" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation">
<Setter Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type GroupItem}">
<Border BorderThickness="2" BorderBrush="DarkGray">
<StackPanel>
<ContentPresenter Content="{TemplateBinding ContentControl.Content}" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentControl.ContentTemplate}" ContentStringFormat="{TemplateBinding ContentControl.ContentStringFormat}" />
<ItemsPresenter Margin="2,0,2,2" />
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</GroupStyle.ContainerStyle>
</GroupStyle>
</ListBox.GroupStyle>
<ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<WrapPanel IsItemsHost="True" Orientation="Vertical" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemsPanel>
</ListBox>
</StackPanel>
I think there's something wrong with your binding your code should work.
To get the same items in both ListBoxes try to bind the second ListBox Itemssource to the first ListBox Itemssource like this :
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" Name="ListBox">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Expander Header="{Binding Key}">
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding ItemsSource, ElementName=ListBox}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Key}"/>
<TextBlock Text=" - "/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Value}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</Expander>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
Thanks to Joh who helped with the appropriate DataBinding. However, the reason was totally different, a quick and dirty solution is given below[1]:
Basically, I was missing that the above mentioned tab control is nested within an outer Tab Control in my main window. I am not toally sure if the following description is entirely correct[1], but to my mind the reason is the following:
The outer TabControl uses a style to display its content. This content applies to a ViewModel which holds the above mentioned observable collection, which in turn should be the ItemsSource of the CollectionViewSource that feeds the inner tabControl with the groups.
As I have defined this style only in the outer TabControl.Resources, and missed to define a separate style for the inner tab Control, the inner tabcontrol inherits the outer style and tries to display its data using the same content.
This content is again another inner tabControl, which calls another inner tabControl and so on.
[1] Defining an empty style in the inenr tabControl.Resources solved the problem:
<TabControl.Resources>
<Style TargetType="TabItem">
</Style>
</TabControl.Resources>
I would be happy if someone could confirm this idea or provide some links to well known issues with shared styles in nested controls.

wpf ListBox looks like datagrid?

I have a listbox control in my app.
I want to change his style to being look like to Datagrid (borders, columns, row...).
I don't want to using stantard datagrid - because its control cannot binding itemtemplte.
I trying to do it:
<ListBox
ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch"
Name="listBox1"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<Border BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="Black">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Id}" Margin="5"/>
</Border>
<Border BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="Black">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Margin="5"/>
</Border>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
But it not looking good - as following:
it what i want to achieve:
Using Grid.IsSharedSizeScope
result
i believe you want the columns to be re-sized based on your string length, so Grid.IsSharedSizeScope is your choice here
example xaml
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True">
<ListBox.Resources>
<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<ContentPresenter />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</ListBox.Resources>
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="name" />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Border BorderThickness="1"
BorderBrush="Black">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}"
Margin="5" />
</Border>
<Border BorderThickness="1"
Grid.Column="1"
BorderBrush="Black">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Id}"
Margin="5" />
</Border>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
if you move SharedSizeGroup to id like below
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="id" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
result
Using ListView with GridView
You have an option to use list view with grid view which will have same appearance as grid with flexibility of list
eg
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding SourceItems}">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn Header="Column1"
DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Column1}" />
<GridViewColumn Header="Column2"
DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Column2}" />
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
GridViewColumn offers you to modify CellTemplate, HeaderTemplate, HeaderContainerStyle, HeaderStringFormat etc.
I am sure you can achieve this using a grid control (It supports binding and everything else)
To fix your problem, you will have to give fixed widths to both your borders inside your stackpanel then your listbox items will look like a grid control.
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<Border Width="150" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="Black">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Id}" Margin="5"/>
</Border>
<Border Width="50" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="Black">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Margin="5"/>
</Border>
</StackPanel>
Please let us know what problem you are having with GridControl and maybe we can fix that as well
Edit. If you were using a DataGrid your template would look like
<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" AutoGenerateColumns="False" HeadersVisibility="None">
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridTemplateColumn Header="" Width="SizeToCells" IsReadOnly="True">
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text={Binding Id}/>
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn>
<DataGridTemplateColumn Header="" Width="SizeToCells" IsReadOnly="True">
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text={Binding Name}/>
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn>
</DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>
Please note that I have set HeaderVisibility to false so that it doesnt look like a datagrid but instead looks like a list

Datagrid Column Header Templating

I want to template some headercolumns in a pretty simple way, but I don't get the results I am looking for. I want the Border to fill the whole header, not just the textbox inside. Right now I am still having the default gray behind my own controls.
<DataGrid x:Name="grdItems"
Grid.Row="0"
CanUserAddRows="False"
CanUserDeleteRows="False"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Items}"
CanUserSortColumns="False" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CanUserResizeColumns="False">
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridComboBoxColumn ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource GetSignalTypeValues}}" Width="auto" SelectedValueBinding="{Binding SignalType}" >
<DataGridComboBoxColumn.HeaderTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Border Background="Orange" >
<TextBlock Text="Signal Type" />
</Border>
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridComboBoxColumn.HeaderTemplate>
</DataGridComboBoxColumn>
<DataGridTextColumn Width="auto" Binding="{Binding AmplitudeMax}">
<DataGridTextColumn.HeaderTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Border Background="Violet">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="Amplitude" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
<TextBlock Text="-maximum-" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</DataTemplate>
</DataGridTextColumn.HeaderTemplate>
</DataGridTextColumn>
If you are only after background color of column header you can utilize this:
<DataGridComboBoxColumn Width="auto" SelectedValueBinding="{Binding SignalType}" >
<DataGridComboBoxColumn.HeaderStyle>
<Style TargetType="DataGridColumnHeader">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Orange"/>
</Style>
</DataGridComboBoxColumn.HeaderStyle>

davidpoll's printcollection

I'm trying to use David Poll's printcollection control, from the SLaB project- www.davidpoll.com but for some reason no items get shown. Maybe it's something with my itemtemplate, please have a look at this:
<Style x:Key="PrintStyle"
TargetType="SLaB:CollectionPrinter">
<Setter Property="ItemTemplate">

<sdk:Label x:Name="lblTitleResult" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="42,8,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Content="{Binding Path=Title}"/>
<sdk:Label x:Name="lblDateCreated" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,8,156,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Content="{Binding Source={StaticResource ResourceWrapper}, Path=NoteEditorResources.DateCreated}"/>
<sdk:Label x:Name="lblDateCreatedResult" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,8,113,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Content="{Binding Path=DateCreated}"/>

<Setter Property="HeaderTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">

</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
I've used his printing control, but I never modified the itemtemplate. I used his TestPrinter.xaml as a template and filled in the HeaderTemplate, FooterTemplate, and the BodyTemplate with my code.
The BodyTemplate being the important one to take a look at. Here is the BodyTemplate section from his example:
<Printing:CollectionPrinter.BodyTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<sdk:DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding CurrentItems}"
AutoGenerateColumns="False"
VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
<sdk:DataGrid.Columns>
<sdk:DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Name}"
Header="Name" />
<sdk:DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Address}"
Header="Address" />
<sdk:DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Age}"
Header="Age" />
</sdk:DataGrid.Columns>
</sdk:DataGrid>
</DataTemplate>
</Printing:CollectionPrinter.BodyTemplate>
The important thing is to set the CurrentItems as the source for your control that will be used to display your collection. This way it can automatically calculate how many items to display in the page before they cut off.
