WPF - How to trigger an event for each element(button) in a ListBox?

I'd like to trigger event for the elemens which is button in a listbox, the view is as below. It is a listbox with 32 buttons.The purpose is to toggle the button between 0-1 and trigger event for each element.
There are two solutions I am thinking about. The solution one is to set command for each button, it works but the problem is I can't catch a selectedItem or a selectedIndex successfully so that even thougn I know the button is toggled, but I don't know the item index.
<ListBox x:Name="lbDirection"
Grid.Row="1"
Grid.Column="1"
SelectionMode="Extended"
ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
Margin="30,26,44,83"
Style="{StaticResource ListBoxHorz}"
ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ItemNoBorder}"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedLineItem}"
ItemsSource="{Binding ButtonList}"
IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Button Style="{StaticResource ChangeButton}"
Command="{Binding DataContext.ToggleDirectionCommand, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType= ListBox}}">
<Button.Content>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding BtnText}"
TextDecorations="Underline" />
</Button.Content>
</Button>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
ViewModel:
public class DigitalIOViewModel : BindableBase
{
public ICommand ToggleDirectionCommand { get; set; }
public ICommand ToggleStateCommand { get; set; }
private ObservableCollection<LineButtons> btnlist;
private LineButtons _selectedLineItem;
public LineButtons SelectedLineItem
{
get { return _selectedLineItem; }
set {
_selectedLineItem=value;
OnPropertyChanged("SelectedLineItem");
}
}
public DigitalIOViewModel()
{
btnlist = new ObservableCollection<LineButtons>();
CreateButtonList();
ToggleDirectionCommand = new RelayCommand(ToggleDirectionAction);
}
private void ToggleDirectionAction()
{
LineButtons selectedLineItem = SelectedLineItem;
int lineIndex=(SelectedLineItem!= null && ButtonList!=null)? ButtonList.IndexOf(SelectedLineItem) : -1;
if (selectedLineItem.BtnText == "1" && lineIndex == 0)
{
ButtonList[lineIndex] = new LineButtons() { BtnText = "0" };
}
else
ButtonList[lineIndex] = new LineButtons() { BtnText = "1" };
}
public ObservableCollection<LineButtons> ButtonList
{
get { return btnlist; }
set { btnlist = value; OnPropertyChanged("ButtonList"); }
}
public void CreateButtonList()
{
for (int i = 0; i < 32; i++)
{
ButtonList.Add(new LineButtons() { BtnText = "1"});
}
}
}
public class LineButtons : BindableBase
{
private string btnText;
public string BtnText
{
get { return btnText; }
set { btnText = value; OnPropertyChanged("BtnText"); }
}
}
I cannot get a correct selectedIndex from this code.
The second solution is to use the IsSelected/SelectedItem property instead of button command binding, I was wondering if there is conflict with the button command binding for item and IsSelected property fot listbox,so we can't use them at the same time, can someone help me out which is the best solution? Thanks in advance.

In addition to the Command property you can set the CommandParameter to the current LineButtons item (class names should be singular, names of collections use plural):
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Button Style="{StaticResource ChangeButton}"
Command="{Binding DataContext.ToggleDirectionCommand, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType= ListBox}}"
CommandParameter="{Binding}">
<Button.Content>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding BtnText, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
TextDecorations="Underline" />
</Button.Content>
</Button>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
Then get the current item, the item that triggered the command, by accessing the command parameter:
private void Execute(object commandParameter)
{
var currentLineButton = commandParameter as LineButtons;
...
}

Returning bound checkbox values using MVVM in a WPF form

I have an object that consists of a string and an array. The string populates a ComboBox and the array populates a ListView depending on the selected string value. Each line of the ListViewconsists of a TextBlock and a CheckBox.
On submit I want to be able to verify which items have been selected for further processing but there's a disconnect when using the MVVM approach. I currently have the DataContext of the submit Button binding to the ListView but only the first value is being returned upon submit (somewhere I need to save the selected values to a list I assume but I'm not sure where). I added an IsSelected property to the model which I think is the first step, but after that I've been grasping at straws.
Model
namespace DataBinding_WPF.Model
{
public class ExampleModel { }
public class Example : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
private string _name;
private string[] _ids;
private bool _isSelected;
public bool IsSelected
{
get => _isSelected;
set
{
if (_isSelected != value)
{
_isSelected = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("IsSelected");
}
}
}
public string Name
{
get => _name;
set
{
if (_name != value)
{
_name = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("Name");
}
}
}
public string[] IDs
{
get => _ids;
set
{
if (_ids != value)
{
_ids = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("IDs");
}
}
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
private void RaisePropertyChanged(string property)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new
PropertyChangedEventArgs(property));
}
}
}
}
ViewModel
namespace DataBinding_WPF.ViewModel
{
public class ExampleViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public ObservableCollection<Example> Examples
{
get;
set;
}
// SelectedItem in the ComboBox
// SelectedItem.Ids will be ItemsSource for the ListBox
private Example _selectedItem;
public Example SelectedItem
{
get => _selectedItem;
set
{
_selectedItem = value;
RaisePropertyChanged(nameof(SelectedItem));
}
}
// SelectedId in ListView
private string _selectedId;
public string SelectedId
{
get => _selectedId;
set
{
_selectedId = value;
RaisePropertyChanged(nameof(SelectedId));
}
}
private string _selectedCheckBox;
public string IsSelected
{
get => _selectedCheckBox;
set
{
_selectedCheckBox = value;
RaisePropertyChanged(nameof(IsSelected));
}
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
private void RaisePropertyChanged(string property)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new
PropertyChangedEventArgs(property));
}
}
public void LoadExample()
{
ObservableCollection<Example> examples = new ObservableCollection<Example>();
examples.Add(new Example { Name = "Mark", IDs = new string[] { "123", "456" }, IsSelected = false });
examples.Add(new Example { Name = "Sally", IDs = new string[] { "789", "101112" }, IsSelected = false });
Examples = examples;
}
/* BELOW IS A SNIPPET I ADDED FROM AN EXAMPLE I FOUND ONLINE BUT NOT SURE IF IT'S NEEDED */
private ObservableCollection<Example> _bindCheckBox;
public ObservableCollection<Example> BindingCheckBox
{
get => _bindCheckBox;
set
{
_bindCheckBox = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("BindingCheckBox");
}
}
}
}

InitializeComponent();
}
private void Submit(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var selectedItems = ((Button)sender).DataContext;
// process each selected item
// foreach (var selected in ....) { }
}
}
}

The ListView control already exposes a selected items collection as property SelectedItems.
private void Submit(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var selectedIds = myListView.SelectedItems.Cast<string>().ToList();
// ...do something with the items.
}
However, I doubt that you want to do this in the code-behind, but rather in the view model. For this purpose, WPF offers the concept of commands.
MVVM - Commands, RelayCommands and EventToCommand
What you need is a relay command or delegate command (the name varies across frameworks). It encapsulates a method that should be executed for e.g. a button click and a method to determine whether the command can be executed as an object that can be bound in the view. Unfortunately, WPF does not provide an implementation out-of-the-box, so you either have to copy an implementation like here or use an MVVM framework that already provides one, e.g. Microsoft MVVM Tookit.
You would expose a property Submit of type ICommand in your ExampleViewModel and initialize it in the constructor with an instance of RelayCommand<T> that delegates to a method to execute.
public class ExampleViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public ExampleViewModel()
{
Submit = new RelayCommand<IList>(ExecuteSubmit);
}
public RelayCommand<IList> Submit { get; }
// ...other code.
private void ExecuteSubmit(IList selectedItems)
{
// ...do something with the items.
var selectedIds = selectedItems.Cast<string>().ToList();
return;
}
}
In your view, you would remove the Click event handler and bind the Submit property to the Command property of the Button. You can also bind the SelectedItems property of the ListView to the CommandParameter property, so the selected items are passed to the command on execution.
<Button HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Height="20"
Width="100"
x:Name="submit_btn"
Command="{Binding Submit}"
CommandParameter="{Binding SelectedItems, ElementName=myListView}">Submit</Button>
Additionally, a few remarks about your XAML.
Names of controls in XAML should be Pascal-Case, starting with a capital letter.
You should remove the DataContext binding from ListView completely, as it automatically receives the same data context as the Button anyway.
DataContext="{Binding DataContext, ElementName=submit_btn}"
You can save yourself from exposing and binding the SelectedItem property in your ExampleViewModel, by using Master/Detail pattern for hierarchical data.
<Grid>
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment = "Left" >
<ComboBox HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Width="120"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Examples}"
IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True"
DisplayMemberPath="Name"/>
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding Examples/IDs}"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedId}"
Height="200" Margin="10,50,0,0"
Width="Auto"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Background="AliceBlue">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" >
<CheckBox Name="myCheckBox"
IsChecked="{Binding IsSelected, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ListViewItem}}"
Margin="5, 0"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}"
FontWeight="Bold" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
<Button HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Height="20"
Width="100"
Command="{Binding Submit}"
CommandParameter="{Binding SelectedItems, ElementName=myListView}">Submit</Button>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>

If the view's data context is bound to the view then remove the DataContext from the ListView.
You could remove the item template and instead use a GridView like:
<ListView.View>
<GridView >
<GridViewColumn Header="Selected" >
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsSelected}" Content="{Binding Name}" />
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
Since the ItemSource is an Observable collection, there are several options to monitor changes in the checkboxes:
Add an event handler to the item changed event of the collection and then you can add the Name or the collection index to a local collection. e.g Examples[e.CollectionIndex].Name
Alternatively iterate over the observable collection and select those Examples where Selected = "true"

Listbox SelectedItem cannot be removed

I am using a Listbox in m WPF app where I tried to remove the SelectedItem so the user can reclick on it to do an action.
I have a classic ListBox :
<ListBox
x:Name="MenuItemList"
Grid.Row="1"
IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True"
ItemsSource="{Binding MenuItems}"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedMenu, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}">
[...] </ListBox>
I have binded the SelectedMenu in my VM :
public MenuItem SelectedMenu
{
get { return null; }
set
{
MenuIsOpened = false;
DisplayedMenu = value;
OnPropertyChanged("SelectedMenu");
}
}
I tried another way with a private property where I changed it to null
private MenuItem _SelectedMenu;
public MenuItem SelectedMenu
{
get { return _SelectedMenu; }
set
{
MenuIsOpened = false;
DisplayedMenu = value;
_SelectedMenu = null;
OnPropertyChanged("SelectedMenu");
}
}
But it does not work as I want... When I click on an item, the property is null but in the view, the listbox always highlights the selected item and the second click on it doesn't trigger the property.

Heres my working example:
// in constructor or so
AddedBlocks = new ObservableCollection<string>();
// the property
public ObservableCollection<string> AddedBlocks { get; }
/// <summary>
/// Deletes selected block from view and model
/// </summary>
private void OnDeleteSelectedBlock(object parameter)
{
try
{
AddedBlocks.RemoveAt(selectedBlockIndex);
}
}
And XAML:
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Blocks, Mode=OneWay}" SelectedIndex="{Binding SelectedBlockIndex, Mode=TwoWay}">
<ListBox.ContextMenu>
<ContextMenu>
<MenuItem Header="Delete block" Command="{Binding DeleteSelectedBlock}"/>
</ContextMenu>
</ListBox.ContextMenu>
</ListBox>
See the two way binding on the selectedIndex. Maybe its easier to use that instead of selectedItem.
Hope this helps. If you dont want to use the context menu, add a button or this
<KeyBinding Key="Delete" Command="{Binding DeleteSelectedBlock}"/>

I do something else to resolve my problem.
I didn't try to change the selected item but I added a command on my Listbox
<ListBox
x:Name="MenuItemList"
Grid.Row="1"
ItemsSource="{Binding MenuItems}"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedMenu, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}">
[...]
<i:Interaction.Triggers>
<i:EventTrigger EventName="MouseLeftButtonUp">
<i:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding CloseMenuCommand}" />
</i:EventTrigger>
</i:Interaction.Triggers>
</ListBox>
And in my MVVM, I close my menu as I want to do it at the beginning :
private void ExecuteCloseMenuCommand(object o)
{
MenuIsOpened = false;
}
In this way, the user can reclick on the item menu which is already selected and the menu will still be closed by the click.

Pass value UserControl to ViewModel of View Page

Here is the complete Sample code
Using MVVM pattern My requirement is to have a ListView where
If user Taps inside ListView on checkBox Storyboard Animation should play for True False and the ListView binded value should be updated in database. For true the tick should pop up with animation for false the tick should become invisible with animation. Solved as per #Elvis Xia answer
If user taps on ListviewItem Navigate to new page with value
Blueprint
Now I went with Usercontrol creation for the datatemplate. Here I want to identify both events separately user clicking on checkbox or clicking on Item separately. Using ICommand I am creating two Delegates that gets binded to two transparent button which relays tapped event. Dependency of creating transparent buttons and creating delgates while binding them made me think surely there must a better way in which I can utilize MVVM for these events without any code behind.
UserControl XAML
<Button Background="LightBlue" BorderBrush="White" BorderThickness="4" Command="{x:Bind sampleItem.itemTapped}" CommandParameter="{Binding}" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid Margin="20">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Margin="20" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Text="{x:Bind sampleItem.sampleText}" FontSize="30"/>
<Image Grid.Column="1" Height="60" Width="60" Source="ms-appx:///Assets/check_off.png" HorizontalAlignment="Right"/>
<Image x:Name="image" Grid.Column="1" Height="60" Width="60" Source="ms-appx:///Assets/check_on.png" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Visibility="Collapsed" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5">
<Image.RenderTransform>
<CompositeTransform/>
</Image.RenderTransform>
</Image>
<Button x:Name="btnFav" Grid.Column="1" Height="60" Width="60" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Background="Transparent" Command="{x:Bind sampleItem.favTapped}" CommandParameter="{Binding}">
<Interactivity:Interaction.Behaviors>
<!--<Core:EventTriggerBehavior EventName="Tapped">
<Core:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding favTapped}" />
</Core:EventTriggerBehavior>-->
<Core:DataTriggerBehavior Binding="{Binding isFav}" Value="true">
<Media:ControlStoryboardAction Storyboard="{StaticResource StoryboardCheckOn}"/>
</Core:DataTriggerBehavior>
<Core:DataTriggerBehavior Binding="{Binding isFav}" Value="false">
<Media:ControlStoryboardAction Storyboard="{StaticResource StoryboardCheckOff}"/>
</Core:DataTriggerBehavior>
</Interactivity:Interaction.Behaviors>
</Button>
</Grid>
</Button>
UserControl XAML codeBehind
MainPageModel sampleItem { get { return this.DataContext as MainPageModel; } }
public MainPageUserControl()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
this.DataContextChanged += (s, e) => this.Bindings.Update();
}
Viewmodel Code
public async Task GetData()
{
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
if (i == 3)
sampleList.Add(new MainPageModel { sampleText = "Selected", isFav = true, favTapped= new DelegateCommand<MainPageModel>(this.OnFavTapped), itemTapped= new DelegateCommand<MainPageModel>(this.OnItemTapped)});
else
sampleList.Add(new MainPageModel { sampleText = "UnSelected"+i.ToString(), isFav = null, favTapped = new DelegateCommand<MainPageModel>(this.OnFavTapped), itemTapped = new DelegateCommand<MainPageModel>(this.OnItemTapped) });
}
}
private void OnFavTapped(MainPageModel arg)
{
if (arg.isFav == null) arg.isFav = true;
else
arg.isFav = !arg.isFav;
}
private void OnItemTapped(MainPageModel arg)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Button Value: "+arg.sampleText);
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Selected Item Value: "+selectedItem.sampleText);
}
MainPage Xaml
<Grid Grid.Row="1">
<ListView ItemsSource="{x:Bind ViewModel.sampleList}" IsItemClickEnabled="True" SelectedItem="{Binding ViewModel.selectedItem,Mode=TwoWay}">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<userControls:MainPageUserControl/>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</Grid>
There must be a better way to achieve the desired result using code behind.

public class ViewMOdel()
{
public ViewModel()
{
favTapped= new DelegateCommand<MainPageModel>(this.OnFavTapped)
itemTapped= new DelegateCommand<MainPageModel>(this.OnItemTapped)
}
public async Task GetData()
{
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
if (i == 3)
sampleList.Add(new MainPageModel { sampleText = "Selected", isFav = true});
else
sampleList.Add(new MainPageModel { sampleText = "UnSelected"+i.ToString(), isFav = null});
}
}
private void OnFavTapped(MainPageModel arg)
{
if (arg.isFav == null) arg.isFav = true;
else
arg.isFav = !arg.isFav;
}
private void OnItemTapped(MainPageModel arg)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Button Value: "+arg.sampleText);
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Selected Item Value: "+selectedItem.sampleText);
}
}
Binding should be like this
<Button x:Name="btnFav" Grid.Column="1" Height="60" Width="60" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Background="Transparent" Command="{Binding ElementName=UserControl, Path=Tag.favTapped}" CommandParameter="{Binding}"/>
Update
<ListView ItemsSource="{x:Bind ViewModel.sampleList}" x:Name="Listview"IsItemClickEnabled="True" SelectedItem="{Binding ViewModel.selectedItem,Mode=TwoWay}">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<userControls:MainPageUserControl Tag="{Binding DataContext,ElementName=Listview}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
<Button x:Name="btnFav" Grid.Column="1" Height="60" Width="60" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Background="Transparent" Command="{Binding ElementName=UserControl, Path=Tag.favTapped}" CommandParameter="{Binding}"/>
Update2 using EventTriggerBehavior
favTapped = new DelegateCommand<RoutedEventArgs>(this.OnFavTapped);
private void OnFavTapped(RoutedEventArgs arg)
{
var item = (( arg.OriginalSource )as Button).DataContext as MainPageModel
}
<Button n x:Name="btnFav" Grid.Column="1" Height="60" Width="60" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Background="Transparent" >
<interact:Interaction.Behaviors>
<interactcore:EventTriggerBehavior EventName="Click" >
<interactcore:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding ElementName=usercontrol, Path=Tag.favTapped}" />
</interactcore:EventTriggerBehavior>
</interact:Interaction.Behaviors>
</Button>

The DataContext of every item in your project is an instance of MainPageModel class. So the favTapped command should be added to MainPageModel class. And it is a command, so favTapped should be an instance of a new class,which implements ICommand interface.
And if you don't want the animation to show at the page's first load, you can set isFav to bool?. And when the page first loads, set the value of isFav to null, thus it won't trigger the animation action.
Below are the Codes snippets and Demo Link:
ViewModelCommands.cs:
public class ViewModelCommands : ICommand
{
public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged;
public bool CanExecute(object parameter)
{
return true;
}
public void Execute(object parameter)
{
//if it's a tapped event
if (parameter is TappedRoutedEventArgs)
{
var tappedEvent = (TappedRoutedEventArgs)parameter;
var gridSource = (Grid)tappedEvent.OriginalSource;
var dataContext = (MainPageModel)gridSource.DataContext;
//if tick is true then set to false, or the opposite.
if (dataContext.isFav == null)
{
dataContext.isFav = true;
} else
{
dataContext.isFav = !dataContext.isFav;
}
}
}
}
MainPageModel.cs:
public class MainPageModel:BindableBase
{
public MainPageModel() {
favTapped = new ViewModelCommands();
}
public ViewModelCommands favTapped { get; set; }
private string _sampleText;
public string sampleText
{
get
{
return this._sampleText;
}
set
{
Set(ref _sampleText, value);
}
}
private bool? _isFav;
public bool? isFav
{
get
{
return this._isFav;
}
set
{
Set(ref _isFav, value);
}
}
}
Here is the complete Demo:Demo Project
Update:
When using DelegateCommand, you can add the command Property to MainPageModel.cs and since the DataContext of the items are MainPageModel instances. You can use this.isFav to change the clicked item's value of isFav.
Here are the codes of MainPageModel.cs:
public class MainPageModel : BindableBase
{
private DelegateCommand _favTapped;
public DelegateCommand favTapped
{
get
{
if (_favTapped == null)
{
_favTapped = new DelegateCommand(() =>
{
//Here implements the check on or off logic
this.CheckOnOff();
}, () => true);
}
return _favTapped;
}
set { _favTapped = value; }
}
private void CheckOnOff()
{
if (this.isFav == null)
{
this.isFav = true;
}
else
{
this.isFav = !this.isFav;
}
}
private string _sampleText;
public string sampleText
{
get
{
return this._sampleText;
}
set
{
Set(ref _sampleText, value);
}
}
private bool? _isFav;
public bool? isFav
{
get
{
return this._isFav;
}
set
{
Set(ref _isFav, value);
}
}
}
For Listview item selected
You can use ListView.ItemClick Event. But you should also set IsItemClickEnabled="True",otherwise the event handler won't be fired.
For The subitem of Listview tapped
You can use Tapped Event of userControl.
Here are the Xaml codes, that shows how to register the above two events:
<Grid Grid.Row="1">
<ListView IsItemClickEnabled="True" ItemClick="ListView_ItemClick_1" ItemsSource="{x:Bind ViewModel.sampleList}">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<userControls:MainPageUserControl Tapped="MainPageUserControl_Tapped"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</Grid>

silverlight: How to pass a value from an item in a listbox by clicking a button beside the item

I have a Listbox, shows an item and a delete button beside it. How can i trigger the relay command passing a parameter to the viewmodel so i can execute the deletion.
Sample code.
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=CurrentUserRoles, Mode=TwoWay}" SelectedValuePath="Id" Name="lstRoles" Grid.Row="0" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" VerticalAlignment="Center">
<Button Command="{Binding Path=RemoveFromUserRolesCommand, Mode=TwoWay}" Content="Delete">
</Button>
<TextBlock Text=" "></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
View Model:
private RelayCommand _removeFromUserRolesCommand = null;
public RelayCommand RemoveFromUserRolesCommand
{
get
{
if (_removeFromUserRolesCommand == null)
{
_removeFromUserRolesCommand = new RelayCommand(
() => this.OnARemoveFromUserRolesCommand(),
() => (this._adminModel != null) );
}
return _removeFromUserRolesCommand;
}
}
private void OnARemoveFromUserRolesCommand()
{
try
{
if (!_adminModel.IsBusy && SelectedAvailableRole != null)
{
...
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
...
}
}
But it doesn't work. Im new to Silverlight so anybody experienced this kind of scenario? Can you Share?

You should use a separate ViewModel for each one of the items of your list. Inside you store the ID of the element. Then you put the RemoveCommand inside those ViewModel and perform the deletion there using the ID.
