I have a ComboBox that has a check box and a text block inside it.
I would like that when an item in the ComboBox is selected, the state of CheckBox contained by the ComboBox item is toggled.
I have looked a fair bit here and elsewhere on the internet but I didn’t find anything specific to this.
Please help. Thanks.
I would try something like this:
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding MySource}">
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ToggleButton x:Name="Wrapper"> <!-- CheckBox are good too -->
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding TheString}" />
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Path=IsChecked, ElementName=Wrapper, Mode=OneWay}" />
</StackPanel>
</ToggleButton>
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
</ComboBox>
You just have to rewrite the template for the the "Wrapper" ToggleButton (or CheckBox) so that it only shows its content.
I hope I was helpful.

I have a ListBox in my WPF MVVM app using the following code:
<GroupBox Grid.Column="0" Margin="0,0,0,-58">
<DockPanel>
<TextBlock DockPanel.Dock="Top"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
Margin="0,0,0,8"
FontWeight="Bold"
Text="{x:Static p:Resources.AvaliableLEDsLabel}" />
<ListBox Name="AvailableLEDsListbox" SelectionMode="Extended"
dd:DragDrop.IsDragSource="True"
dd:DragDrop.IsDropTarget="True"
dd:DragDrop.DropHandler="{Binding}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource DataTemplateListBoxItem}"
ItemsSource="{Binding AvailableLeds}"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden"
>
<ListBox.GroupStyle>
<StaticResource ResourceKey="StyleListBoxGroup" />
</ListBox.GroupStyle>
</ListBox>
</DockPanel>
</GroupBox>
This displays grouped lists of devices, with LEDs under them. The DataTemplate is the following:
<GroupStyle x:Key="StyleListBoxGroup">
<GroupStyle.HeaderTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Button Command="{Binding HideGroupCommand}">X</Button>
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
FontWeight="Bold"
Text="{Binding Name}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</GroupStyle.HeaderTemplate>
</GroupStyle>
<DataTemplate x:Key="DataTemplateListBoxItem">
<TextBlock x:Name="LedId" Text="{Binding LedId}"/>
</DataTemplate>
I would like to make the X button in the header hooked up to the HideGroupCommand toggle the hiding of all the items under that particular header. How would I go about doing this? Thanks in advance.
You have few options.
First one :
You would need to have a property in your view model something like 'ListBoxVisibility' then u would bind that property to your UI. In command text u just changed visibility property of that property in view model- so u have it reflected on UI. This visibility property can be of type 'bool' , or 'Visibility' or whatever. Only if it's type of Visibility u don't need converter when binding.
NOTE : Some people use it - even though it kinda goes out of general principel of MVVM patter. But sometimes u have to do it.
Second
If wanna stick to MVVM , then u need to fully separate your UI from your viewmodel. Create click event and change visibility.
I have a problem with combobox. I do not have properties for him. Where can I find AutoComplete properties?
Typing also does not suggest anything to me and as I enter the whole thing, I get the error.
I'm explaining what I mean - I have a combobox with many list records.
I would like the combobox to open, for example, the first three letters.
this is my code of combobox
<ComboBox
x:Name="combolista"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Margin="10,384,0,0"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Width="491"
Grid.Column="1"
SelectionChanged="ComboBox_SelectionChanged"
ItemsSource="{Binding Wyszukanie_miast}"
SelectedItem="{Binding WybraneMiasto}"
IsEditable="True"
TextSearch.TextPath="Miasto">
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Miasto}" />
<TextBlock Text="Województwo" Margin="70,0,0,0"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Wojewodztwo}" Margin="150,0,0,0"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
</ComboBox>
He works but I would like to enter all the possibilities in three letters
you can use telerik : RadAutoCompleteBox if you want, but telerik is not a free library.
you can also take a look at https://github.com/MaterialDesignInXAML/MaterialDesignInXamlToolkit
really simple problem, but I guess I have just the wrong definition of combobox:
I'd like to get a simple thing like:
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/mahesh/combobox-in-silverlight/
But whenever I add a combobox (or a listbox) and set the itemssource, it shows directly all items and I dont have a textbox-like selection.
My approach was quite simple:
In XAML I define:
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center" Style="{StaticResource styleStdWidth}" Text="Spieler 1:" />
<ListBox x:Name="lsbPlayerOne" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource dtName}" Width="300" />
<TextBox x:Name="txtPlayerOnePoints" Style="{StaticResource stylePlayerWidth}" />
</StackPanel>
<DataTemplate x:Name="dtName">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="35" FontWeight="Bold" x:Name="txbname"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
And in Code behind I just set the ItemsSource with a List, which has data.
Since the ListBox gets bigger every time I add a item, it gets uglier and uglier.
Am I missing a property, which I didnt find? I did not see anything...
Sorry for the confusing question :)
P.S.: I tried the same as in the example shown in the link. Sadly I cant open the sample project.

Your question is unclear. But you are not implementing a combobox in the code you have shown. Why don't you use a combobox and set your itemsource to the list that contains the fields you want to use?
<ComboBox ItemSource={Binding Names}/>
I have this combobox which contains a data tempate with a checkbox and a textbox. All is working but I would like to make it a little bit easier to select a value. Right now I have to click on the chechbox to change the value of the check box. Now I would like to be able to just click on the item in the combobox which also should toggle the checkbox.
Is this possible? If yes then how?
Here is a picture of my solution right now
Here is the code for my combobox
<ComboBox Name="employeeComboBox" Margin="2,0,2,0"
ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="False"
DataContext="{Binding EmployeesOverviewViewModel, Source={StaticResource ViewModelLocator}}"
ItemsSource="{Binding Employees}">
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Path=IsSelected}" Margin="2,0,2,2" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
</ComboBox>
Change your DataTemplate to this:
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Path=IsSelected}"
Margin="2,0,2,2"
Content="{Binding Path=Name}"
VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</DataTemplate>
and it should work.
Why don't you use the Content property on the CheckBox?
<CheckBox Content="Hello, World" />
This way, the checkbox would toggle even when you click on the text (content).
As for your specific case, you can bind Name to Content instead of creating a separate TextBlock for it, and it should work as you want it to.
Whats happning here is, Your Checkbox and text are two different entities, you need to make them one, by simply using checkbox's text property and binding it. that way whenever you click on text your checkbox gets selected.
I have a listbox and I have set the itemstemplate as shown below.
XAML:
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding DataList}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<CheckBox x:Name="CheckBox" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
<TextBlock x:Name="TextBlock" Text="{Binding Title}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="10,0,0,10" FontSize="26.667" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
I want to get which all check box has been selected.Is there any way to get checkbox control for each item so that I can check its IsChecked property.
I can think of a way of binding the IsChecked property.But Is there any other way to do it?
Yes. One way to do is to bind the IsChecked property. And if you are using MVVM, probably that's the right way to do it.
Anyways, if you don't want to go the binding way, and assuming you want to iterate over all items of listbox, and prepare a list of checked items, see if this helps:
WPF - Find a Control from DataTemplate in WPF
If you're already binding to the Title property in the item template then it would certainly make sense to bind to IsChecked, too.
If you really need to, you can walk the visual tree by using the VisualTreeHelper to find the CheckBox instances.
Binding the IsChecked property to a boolean property on your object instance contained within DataList would be the simplest and cleanest way. Alternatively, if you want to avoid code behind, then you could write an attached property.
See also How to access a specific item in a Listbox with DataTemplate?
I bet it cannot be simpler than that:
<ListBox SelectionMode="Multiple" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox
IsChecked="{Binding Path=IsSelected, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ListBoxItem}}}"
Content="{Binding Path=Content, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ListBoxItem}}}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
