in image 1,3 and 4 items are selected and others are in normal mode...
-thanks in advance
I did it with a listbox in Blend inside of the ItemTemplate by creating a leftBorder and a right Border that are in the same space. The leftBorder is defined with cornerRadius 10,0,0,10 and the right with cornerRadius 0,10,10,0. I then set them both to opacity 0 (you can use visibility if you prefer) and set a ChangePropertyAction on both of thier loaded events conditional on the first and last item in your list.
That is the bad part, I did need to do it conditional on the items in your list but you could define another property and set that to first and last or create multiple templates that you set if there are no more items in the list from the control (not in the template).
If you think this may be interesting to you, let me know and I will post on my blog as well as try to make a couple of adjustments for your situation. I am not sure how to upload a project to here.

That might be a silly question, but I just can figure how to resolve it for now.
I'm building a wpf application with drag and drop between a ListView and a Grid.
My items being consituted by an Image and a TextBlock. I have defined a DataTemplate with a StackPanel containing these controls and applied it to ListView items and ContentControls inside of the Grid cells.
Basic idea is to chose items from the ListView and drag them to a cell. So my grid is empty at the beginning.
My problem, besides of sucking at making my controls filling correctly my grid (bonus ninja question !), is that when no item is chosen in a cell the image is not drawn and will not act as drop target. Only the TextBlock will.
Is there a way to counter that ? Thank you :)
You can set a datatemplate trigger so that you display an empty image that will accept the drop, if the contents are null.
And if that idea doesn't work, you can create a datatemplateselector that returns a template with a blank dropping target if the content is null. This shows how to make a selector that can let you set all possible templates using only xaml.
The default template for TabItem, as defined here, assumes that the tab strip is at the top. If we change the TabStrip.TabStripPlacement to the right, left or bottom, the margins and border thicknesses don't make sense. How would someone go about changing these values based on the parent TabControl TabStripPlacement. This is for a style used in application resources not just for a specific instance of the control.
To answer my own question. I found out that there is actually a TabItem.TabStripPlacement that can be used on the control template triggers
Hy.
Could you help me create the fallowing control style/template?
What do I need:
A (Vertical and Horizontal) ScollBar Style like that. (Without the two arrow button)
Inner shadow on the top and bottom of the "ScrollViewer area".
That's all I need, I can create the rest parts of the control. (Selected Item's color etc)
Thank you.
The scrollbar control in WPF can be thought of as collection of the two repeatbuttons and the track part. You can change the template of the scrollbar and remove the repeatbutton.
For the shadow part, you need to provide the the Zorder index. Refer to the following link - WPF shadow on stackpanel controls
I know is too late for an answer but Style is very easy to get if you understand basic templating. Here you will find a Scrollbar that emulate the one you want, hope you like it.
I want to change the display behavior of the selected item(s) in a WPF Listview. Specifically, I want to retain the custom textblock foreground colors that I've applied and apply a border around the item.
I am able to alter SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey and ControlBrushKey to change the background color of the selected item, but I don't know how to get it to stop changing the font color or use a border instead. I've tried manipulating the control template and have also searched Google for examples of how to do this, without success.
yeah, looks like you have to go through the pain of using ControlTemplates.
Good news is that via using Expression Blend, you can get current ControlTemplate for ListView and tweak the bit that you need and use that as your default ControlTemplate.
I have to develop a control having one datagrid. now datagridtextcolumn have to be binded with one property of collection created in viewmodel.
based on data i have do one thing...
if for a row no of lines is more than 3 in last column's cell then show a button having text "More" with last cell else with text "Less" and on click of "More" button it should display full text data...
now this layout can be shrined as well as stretched at runtime according to window's height and width using viewbox control or any other way...
so how to achieve this thing any idea???
Basically you want a custom textblock control that displays a max of 3 lines and shows a more button (if there are more than 3 lines of text)*.
The more button expands the textblock and I imagine stays around to collapse it again?
As it sounds like you only have one column (more like a list), rather than customise the datagrid create a usercontrol (with a grid, textblock and button) that does what you want and bind that inside a templated column instead.
You will need to expose the Text property as a dependency property for it to bind to. Most of the details of creating this type of usercontrol are on my answer to this: putting Button inside a TextBlock(or maybe something else) to make it work like the one on video?
Just add your size logic and change the layout to suit your needs.
*Note: Personally I would use the MinHeight property of the usercontrol to set when the "More" button is needed, then it will be more flexible, but that is just a suggestion.
