How can I set ComboboxItem isEnable property with binding?

I have a model view and a property called isEnable and I would like to set the comboboxItem IsEnable property with binding to property created in the model view , the problem is that I have datatemplate created inside a combobox , so it's not a simple Combobox , this is my code:
<ComboBox x:Name="ComboBoxUsers" ItemsSource="{Binding Users}" FontFamily="Arial" FontSize="11" Grid.Row="3" Height="30" Margin="10,5,5,5">
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" >
<Image />
<TextBlock />
</StackPanel>
<DataTemplate.Resources>
<Style TargetType="ComboBoxItem">
<Setter Property="IsEnable" Value="{Binding IsEnable}"/>
</Style>
</DataTemplate.Resources>
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
Simple Class of Users:
public class Users
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public bool IsEnable { get; set; }
public Users()
{
}
}
How can I achieve that?

I solved my problem by adding this code :
<ComboBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ComboBoxItem"
<Setter Property="IsEnable" Value="{Binding IsEnable}" />
</Style>
</ComboBox.ItemContainerStyle>
So the complete code will be :
<ComboBox x:Name="ComboBoxUsers" ItemsSource="{Binding Users}" FontFamily="Arial" FontSize="11" Grid.Row="3" Height="30" Margin="10,5,5,5">
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" >
<Image />
<TextBlock />
</StackPanel>
<ComboBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ComboBoxItem" >
<Setter Property="IsEnable" Value="{Binding IsEnable}" />
</Style>
</ComboBox.ItemContainerStyle>
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>

Using IValueConverter to enable button

I am trying to learn how to use the IValueConverter to enable/disable controls (in this case a button) using the boolean-property of an item selected in a listbox. The button in question is the "TestButton". I believe I have the XAML for it setup correctly but it does not enable when I add and select a user defined item or disable when I select one of the other items in the listbox. The listbox contains a list of "Drink" objects that can be added to. When one is added it becomes a user defined item. Now I believe I am missing something but I am not sure what. Any help will be appreciated.

Here is my converter:
namespace WpfApp1
{
class EnableConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
bool isenable = false;
bool b = (bool)value;
if (b == true)
{
isenable = true;
}
return isenable;
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}
}
This class contains the "IsUserDefined" property that I am binding to:
public class Drinks
{
private string type;
private string name;
private int numCans;
public Drinks() { }
public Drinks(string type, string name, int numCans)
{
this.type = type;
this.name = name;
this.numCans = numCans;
}
public bool IsUserDefined { get; set; }
public string Type
{
get { return type; }
set
{
if (type != value)
{
type = value;
}
}
}
public string Name
{
get { return name; }
set
{
if (name != value)
{
name = value;
}
}
}
public int NumberOfCans
{
get { return numCans; }
set
{
if (numCans != value)
{
numCans = value;
}
}
}
}

so i trying to create the datagrid out from msdn
but i getting an error and i am not sure why as i copy pastet the whole thing directly from msdn
i getting the error on the

that says
it doesn't exists in clr-namespace:DGGroupSortFilterExample
i be using that one in the Example section

First, try compiling.. the designer is made aware of new classes only after compilation. if after compilation this isn't resolved- post your entire XAML document, and c# code for that class. Make sure the namespace and using statements are visible.

Binding not updated with DataTemplateSelector

I have a WPF application based on MVVM.
It has paramaters that can be set. A paramater can be a list of strings in a checkbox or a double in a numupdown. Every device has its own parameters, so the parameters are dynamically loaded. Thats why i use a DataTemplateSelector.
Xaml code
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding ParameterWrapperList}" ItemTemplateSelector="{StaticResource propertyDataTemplateSelector}">
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"></StackPanel>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ItemsControl>
The templates are in a resource dictionary:
<DataTemplate x:Key="doubleTemplate">
<Grid Visibility="{Binding Parameter.ParameterModel.IsVisible, Converter={StaticResource Visibility}}">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="{Binding Path=RowHeight, Mode=OneWay}"/>
<RowDefinition/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Border Grid.Row="0" Style="{StaticResource HeaderBorderStyle}" Width="{Binding Width}" Visibility="{Binding HeaderVisibility, Converter={StaticResource Visibility}}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Label Content="{Binding Parameter.DisplayName}"/>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
<Border Grid.Row="1" Style="{StaticResource ItemBorderStyle}" Width="{Binding Width}">
<telerik:RadNumericUpDown Name="nudParameterValue" Value="{Binding Path=ParameterValue, Mode=TwoWay}" Minimum="{Binding Parameter.ParameterModel.MinimumValue}" Maximum="{Binding Parameter.ParameterModel.MaximumValue}" NumberDecimalDigits="{Binding Parameter.ParameterModel.NumberDecimalDigits}" SmallChange="{Binding Parameter.ParameterModel.SmallChanges}"/>
</Border>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="stringTemplate">
<Grid Visibility="{Binding Parameter.ParameterModel.IsVisible, Converter={StaticResource Visibility}}">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="{Binding Path=RowHeight, Mode=OneWay}"/>
<RowDefinition/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Border Grid.Row="0" Style="{StaticResource HeaderBorderStyle}" Width="{Binding Width}" Visibility="{Binding Path=HeaderVisibility, Converter={StaticResource Visibility}}">
<Label Content="{Binding Parameter.DisplayName}"/>
</Border>
<Border Grid.Row="1" Style="{StaticResource ItemBorderStyle}" Width="{Binding Width}" >
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Parameter.ParameterModel.PossibleValues}" SelectedIndex="{Binding ParameterValue, Mode=TwoWay}">
</ComboBox>
</Border>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
<configControl:PropertyDataTemplateSelector
StringTemplate="{StaticResource stringTemplate}"
DoubleTemplate="{StaticResource doubleTemplate}"
x:Key="propertyDataTemplateSelector"/>
I wrote the code for the DataTemplateSelector.
public class PropertyDataTemplateSelector : DataTemplateSelector
{
public DataTemplate DoubleTemplate { get; set; }
public DataTemplate StringTemplate { get; set; }
public override DataTemplate SelectTemplate(object item,
DependencyObject container)
{
DeviceModel.ParameterType devFunct = ((ParameterWrapper)item).Parameter.ParameterModel.Type;
switch (devFunct)
{
case DeviceModel.ParameterType.Double:
return DoubleTemplate;
case DeviceModel.ParameterType.String:
return StringTemplate;
default:
return null;
}
return null;
}
}
When the applications opens all the values are set fine. But when i update ParameterValue, it isn't updated on view. (when i output the values in console window, the values are set fine (but not in the GUI)).
What should i do to make this work.
Edit
This is the code it's bound to. Every function has a checkbox and when you change the parameter of one, all other parameters that are checked need to change.
public double ParameterValue
{
get
{
return _parameter.ParameterValue;
}
set
{
Parameter.ParameterValue = value;
Console.WriteLine("ParameterValueChanged");
if (SetOthers)
{
if (_parentFunction.Checked)
{
foreach (var function in _parentFunction.FunctionWrapperList)
{
if (function.Checked)
{
foreach (var parameterWrapper in function.ParameterWrapperList)
{
if (parameterWrapper.Parameter != this.Parameter)
{
if (parameterWrapper.Parameter.ParameterModel == Parameter.ParameterModel)
{
Console.WriteLine(function.Function.Name + " " + function.Checked + " " + Parameter.ParameterValue);
parameterWrapper.SetValue(Parameter.ParameterValue);
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Notify("ParameterValue");
}
}
private void SetValue(double parameterValue)
{
SetOthers = false;
Parameter.ParameterValue = parameterValue;
SetOthers = true;
}
The boolean SetOthers is so he won't get a stackoverflow and keeps setting itself.

Your DataTemplateSelector won't update the DataTemplate rendering your data because a DataTemplateSelector doesn't trigger on a property change. It only choose a way to display a data according to its type (yourData.GetType()).
What you want is a trigger:
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding ParameterWrapperList}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ContentControl Content="{Binding}">
<ContentControl.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ContentControl}">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{StaticResource doubleTemplate}"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Parameter.ParameterModel.Type}" Value="{x:Static local:DeviceModel.ParameterType.String}">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{StaticResource stringTemplate}"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ContentControl.Style>
</ContentControl>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ItemsControl>

How to display a control dynamically in wpf?

I have a collection with fields cityname, statename and countryname and I bind that collection to my wpf form. I want to display the cityname in a Textbox, the statename in a combobox and the countryname in a combobox. All the textboxes and comboboxes should come dynamically. How can I do this job?
Any one suggest me how to design this form dynamically in wpf using MVVM
I am trying to do this code but not get result properly
<UserControl.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="IntegerTemplate">
<DockPanel>
<TextBox Margin="10,0,0,0" x:Name="IntegerTemplate" Grid.Column="1" MaxLength="{Binding Path=CardField.MaximumLength}" Text="{Binding Path=CardField.FieldData, Mode=TwoWay}" />
</DockPanel>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="StringTemplate">
<DockPanel>
<ComboBox Margin="10,0,0,0" x:Name="cmbFieldData" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Path=CardField.FieldData, Mode=TwoWay}" />
</DockPanel>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="DefaultTemplate">
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="dataTemplate">
<ContentControl x:Name="MyContentControl" Content="{Binding}" ContentTemplate="{StaticResource DefaultTemplate}"/>
<DataTemplate.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=CardField.FieldTag}" Value="City">
<Setter TargetName="MyContentControl" Property="ContentTemplate"
Value="{StaticResource IntegerTemplate}" />
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=CardField.FieldTag}" Value="State">
<Setter TargetName="MyContentControl" Property="ContentTemplate"
Value="{StaticResource StringTemplate}" />
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=CardField.FieldTag}" Value="Country">
<Setter TargetName="MyContentControl" Property="ContentTemplate"
Value="{StaticResource StringTemplate}" />
</DataTrigger>
<!-- and so on -->
</DataTemplate.Triggers>
</DataTemplate>
</UserControl.Resources>
we are using this code in our xaml page
<ItemsControl x:Name="items"
ItemsSource="{Binding}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource dataTemplate}"
/>
UPDATE:
i am trying to do this following code:
<TextBlock x:Name="tbFieldTag" Cursor="Hand" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" TextWrapping="Wrap" Margin="10,0,0,0" Text="{Binding Path=CardField.FieldTag}" />
<ItemsControl x:Name="items"
ItemsSource="{Binding}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource dataTemplate}"/>
In that i got Value of TextBlock but i am not getting the value in ItemTemplate. so where I doing wrong?

Try this:
1) data template selector
public class CardFieldTemplateSelector : IValueConverter
{
public DataTemplate CityNameTemplate { get; set; }
public DataTemplate StateNameTemplate { get; set; }
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
string fieldTag = (string) value;
switch (fieldTag)
{
case "City":
return CityNameTemplate;
case "State":
return StateNameTemplate;
}
throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException();
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}
2) XAML:
<selectors:CardFieldTemplateSelector x:Key="cardFieldTemplateSelector">
<selectors:CardFieldTemplateSelector.CityNameTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<DockPanel>
<TextBox Margin="10,0,0,0" x:Name="IntegerTemplate" Grid.Column="1" MaxLength="{Binding Path=CardField.MaximumLength}" Text="{Binding Path=CardField.FieldData, Mode=TwoWay}" />
</DockPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</selectors:CardFieldTemplateSelector.CityNameTemplate>
<selectors:CardFieldTemplateSelector.StateNameTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<DockPanel>
<ComboBox Margin="10,0,0,0" x:Name="cmbFieldData" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Path=CardField.FieldData, Mode=TwoWay}" />
</DockPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</selectors:CardFieldTemplateSelector.StateNameTemplate>
</selectors:CardFieldTemplateSelector>
<DataTemplate x:Key="dataTemplate">
<ContentControl x:Name="MyContentControl"
Content="{Binding}"
ContentTemplate="{Binding CardField.FieldTag, Converter={StaticResource cardFieldTemplateSelector}"/>
</DataTemplate>
<ItemsControl x:Name="items"
ItemsSource="{Binding}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource dataTemplate}"/>

Why can;t you use the WPF Data Form from Codeplex.
You can add custom editors in this form, based on the data types.
Hope this help.
