ListBox does not display text - wpf

Question

In my TabControl using WPF,C#.I entering Text to ListBox in one TabItem from the click event in TabControl. But the ListBox does not display the Text. When I debug, I can find that the ListBox has count:1. Here is the code:
namespace Tabcontrol
{
public partial class PresetTab : UserControl //3rd Tabitem ,preset.xaml.cs
{
public PresetTab()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public void AddPresetmenu(string pMenu)
{
menubox.Items.Add(pMenu); //menubox is listbox
}
}
}
namespace Tabcontrol
{
public partial class ToolBar : UserControl
{
PresetTab tab = new PresetTab();
public ToolBar()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public void Click(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
Add("TAB MENU");
}
public void Add(string menu)
{
tab.AddPresetmenu(menu); //Im calling from tabcontrol,toolbar.xaml.cs
}
}
}

It would be easier to say for sure if you would have added your XAML code as well, but it seems to me that your adding the strings directly to the Items property and aren't applying a DataTemplate specifying how to display the strings. So either apply a DataTemplate which turns the string into a UIElement, e.g. a TextBlock, or try to add the TextBlocks in your code instead of strings.
public void AddPresetmenu(string pMenu)
{
TextBlock tb= new TextBlock();
tb.Text = pMenu;
menubox.Items.Add(tb);
}
Hope this helps, if not please include your XAML, this will make it easier to spot the problem.
