Remove margin and padding dynamically WPF - c#

I am currently doing a page with a form in it in WPF. There are two textboxes and one listbox with a button to add some elements in the listbox. In one mode (edit mode), I want everything to be visible so that the user will be able to edit the textboxes and add elements in the listbox. In the other mode (view mode), I binded the Visibility property so that when in this mode, everything except the listbox appears (and the listbox takes the whole place) so that the user can just see what existing elements are in the listbox.
Now my problem is, in the edit mode I give a Margin="10" margin, but in view mode I would like the listbox to take the full page width/height (so I would like to remove that margin). How would I go to do this?
My XAML (some user controls are encapsulated in a framework that I am using, but it shouldn't affect my question):
<Grid x:Name="MainScope" pres:OneTheme.Theme="Content">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="53*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<pres:OneContentLayout Mode="List" Grid.Row="3" Margin="10" >
<pres:OneListBox x:Name="ListBox" BorderBrush="{DynamicResource Presentation_ControlBorderBrush}" BorderThickness="1"
ItemsSource="{Binding InterfaceSpecification.IOPoints}"
DeleteItemRequestCommand="{Binding DeleteIOPointCommand}" IsEdited="{Binding IsEditable}" >
<pres:OneListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid Margin="5">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<vw:IOPointDefinitionView Grid.Column="0" />
<vw:IOPointOtherConnectedElementView Grid.Column="1" Margin="20,0"/>
<pres:OneIcon Grid.Column="2" IconBrush="{DynamicResource Icon_DraggableHandleHorizontal}" Margin="8,0" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Visibility="{Binding ElementName=ListBox, Path=IsEdited, Converter={StaticResource OneBooleanToVisibilityConverter}}" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</pres:OneListBox.ItemTemplate>
</pres:OneListBox>
</pres:OneContentLayout>
<pres:OneTextBox Watermark="Name..." Text="{Binding InterfaceSpecification.Name}" Margin="85,12,0,0"
AcceptsReturn="False" MaxLines="1" Height="22" VerticalAlignment="Top"
HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="300" Visibility="{Binding IsEditable, Converter={StaticResource OneBooleanToVisibilityConverter}}" />
<pres:OneTextBox Margin="85,3.999,10,3" Text="{Binding InterfaceSpecification.Description}"
Watermark="Description..." Height="66" Grid.Row="1" Visibility="{Binding IsEditable, Converter={StaticResource OneBooleanToVisibilityConverter}}"/>
<pres:OneToggleButton x:Name="Add_Button" Content="Add IO Point" HorizontalAlignment="Right"
VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Margin="0,0,10,0" Grid.Row="2" Width="115" Height="18"
IsChecked="{Binding ElementName=Add_Popover, Path=IsOpen}"
pres:OneTheme.PresentationMode="Inline" Visibility="{Binding IsEditable, Converter={StaticResource OneBooleanToVisibilityConverter}}" />
...

So you basically want pres:OneContentLayout to have a margin of 0 when IsEditable is false and 10 when it's true, right?
You can use a Trigger in a Style to make that work like this:
<pres:OneContentLayout.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type pres:OneContentLayout}">
<!-- Default margin is 0 -->
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0" />
<Style.Triggers>
<!-- When in edit-mode make margin 10 -->
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsEditable}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="10" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</pres:OneContentLayout.Style>

WPF XAML Custom Listbox Does Not Position Elements Correctly

I am trying to implement a custom multi-page dialog that takes an arbitrary number of visuals (slides) and displays them. The desired behavior would be that the selected item would appear at the top-center of the display area in the foreground. The previous slide would be at the bottom-left with a lower z-index, and the next slide would be at the bottom-right with a lower z-index. "Previous" and "Next" buttons would set the selected index. In the set method for the index, I loop through the slides and set an integer value called "SelectionState" based on whether each slide is hidden, selected, just before the selected one, or just after the selected one. I am trying to position the slides based on this integer using IValueConverters.
For my Listbox.ItemsPanelTemplate, I tried using a Grid. In the ItemsTemplate, I was setting the Grid.Column and Grid.Row using IValueConverters. Stepping through code, I can see that the value converters are being called, and that they are returning appropriate values, but all items appear in row 0, column 0 anyway.
After getting frustrated, I tried changing the Grid to a Canvas and setting the Canvas.Left and Canvas.Top properties, and again, I can see that I am getting good values back from the converter, but all items position themselves in the top-left corner anyway. (This code is shown, but commented out)
Since I know the value converters are behaving as expected, does anybody else see what I am doing wrong? Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

You have to set those properties on the item container (i.e. the ListBoxItem) by setting the ItemContainerStyle property:
<ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="Grid.Column" Value="{Binding SelectionState, ...}"/>
<Setter Property="Grid.Row" Value="{Binding SelectionState, ...}"/>
<Setter Property="Panel.ZIndex" Value="{Binding SelectionState, ...}"/>
</Style>
</ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Border BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1" Width="600" Height="360">
<TextBlock Text="Hello World" />
</Border>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>

Link a ListBox Borderbrush property to a IsEnabled button

I have two TextBoxes, two ListBoxes, a Cancel button and an OK button.
Simplifying the problem, I would like to link the color of the Borderbrush of the second ListBox to the IsEnabled property of the OK button.
An alternative would be link that color change to the ListBoxItem background instead of the Listbox border itself.
Is it possible (maybe through Triggers or something)? If so, could you show me the way?

Here's a small example that changes the border brush of a listview based on the IsEnabled property of a button
<StackPanel>
<ListBox Height="100">
<ListBox.Style>
<Style TargetType="ListBox">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=okButton, Path=IsEnabled}" Value="false">
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Red"/>
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=okButton, Path=IsEnabled}" Value="true">
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Blue"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ListBox.Style>
</ListBox>
<Button IsEnabled="True" Name="okButton">true</Button>
</StackPanel>
But I would set the availability of the button on the command and not in the XAML, also I would bind the color of the ListView to the IsValid property in the ViewModel instead.

How to make a custom tool tip template in WPF XAML

I have a number of buttons on a form (devcomponents ButtonDropDown controls to be precise).
I want to show a tool tip for each that contains a header at the top, an image on the left and a description on the right.
The header needs to be tied to the ButtonDropDown.Header, the image to the ButtonDropDown.Image. I also then need to define the description somewhere.
I've only been using WPF for a few weeks so I've not managed to find any answers via searching, though I have studied a few.
Below is my attempt at creating a template that really doesn't work at all:
<Style TargetType="dcr:ButtonDropDown">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True"></Setter>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="dcr:ButtonDropDown">
<ContentControl>
<ContentControl.ToolTip>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition />
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Label Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
Content="{TemplateBinding Header}" FontWeight="Bold" />
<Viewbox Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Width="64" Height="32" Margin="3">
<ContentControl Content="{TemplateBinding Image}" />
</Viewbox>
<Label Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1"
Content="{TemplateBinding ToolTip.Content}" />
</Grid>
</ContentControl.ToolTip>
</ContentControl>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
I then define a button as follows:
<dcr:ButtonDropDown Header="-X" Command="{Binding MoveCommand}" CommandParameter="xMinus"
ImagePosition="Top" IsEnabled="{Binding UserConfiguration.Move.Visible}"
ToolTip="move x axis down">
<dcr:ButtonDropDown.Image>
<Viewbox Width="32" Height="32" Margin="3">
<ContentControl Content="{StaticResource minusXImage}" />
</Viewbox>
</dcr:ButtonDropDown.Image>
</dcr:ButtonDropDown>
Please could someone give me an idea how to go about this?
I've gone some way to answering this question.
The following style is defined for ToolTip:
<Style TargetType="ToolTip">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ToolTip">
<Border Background="GhostWhite" BorderBrush="Gainsboro" BorderThickness="1">
<Grid Background="White">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition />
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Label Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
Content="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ToolTip}},
Path=PlacementTarget.(dcr:ButtonDropDown.Header)}"
FontWeight="Bold" />
<Viewbox Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Width="64" Height="32" Margin="3">
<ContentControl Content="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ToolTip}},
Path=PlacementTarget.(dcr:ButtonDropDown.Image)}" />
</Viewbox>
<Label Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1"
Content="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ToolTip}},
Path=PlacementTarget.(dcr:ButtonDropDown.ToolTip)}" />
</Grid>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
I then define a button as above and the ToolTip text and header appear in the ToolTipas required.
The key is the binding:
Content="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ToolTip}},
Path=PlacementTarget.(dcr:ButtonDropDown.Header)}"
Which finds the Tooltip as an ancestor of Label and casts its PlacementTarget into a ButtonDropDown
What doesn't work is the image. This appears in the ToolTip but is removed from the button.
This will also break any other controls' tooltips if they are not ButtonDropDown controls.
I'm beginning to think I'll need to create some custom controls that contain the information I require for the ToolTip for each control.

When resizing window elements move

I am working on a wpf bingo app for learning.
When the app is in full screen it looks how i want it:
However, when the window is minimized the elements move out of the positions I want them:
what can I do to stop this and keep the elements in one place no matter what window size.

In addition to the MSDN link DROP table users listed, have a read of this overview of the WPF Panel elements to get a feel for how to approach UI layout in WPF. ALhtough you can drag and drop (and resize) your controls within Visual Studio, it often leads to layouts that don't scale well, and introduces additional compilacations (the extra Margin properties on many of your controls).
If you aren't going to stop your users from resizing your control, it's worth thinking about how you'd like the elements behave when the window is manipulated, should elements scale, move around, stay fixed to a particular window edge, etc.
There are many different ways to layout your UI with the various panels, but your desired behaviour dictates which is the easiest/most appropriate.
Here's a small (but not very neat) mock up using a Grid, to roughly approximate your first case (some of your elements replaced by a few simple labels).
<Grid Background="Transparent">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="2*" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label Content="Your DataGrid" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" Background="Red" Grid.ColumnSpan="3"/>
<Label Content="Your Other DataGrid" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1" Background="Green" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"/>
<Label Content="Your Button" Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="2" Background="Gray" Height="40" Width="100"/>
<Label Content="41" Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="1" Background="White" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" FontSize="30"/>
</Grid>
It will produce something that looks like this:
Play around resizing it, some elements will stretch, some (with fixed height/width), will remain the same size, and move around relative to the window size.
If you wish to dock elements to the side of your window, have a look at the DockPanel, if you need to collect a few controls together, check out the StackPanel.
Check this out. It points out that to prevent this you can set up a grid and put the elements in defined size columns and rows to keep them from re-sizing with the window.
Also, a good article that you may look at here about Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) layout system.

XAML - Bind combobox in DataTemplate to a collection?

Firstly, thank you for taking the time out to read this post. All contributions are very much appreciated.
I'm having difficulty understanding how I can bind a ComboBox ItemsSource within a DataTemplate to an ObservableCollection.
Here's my code thus far:
DataTemplate Template (notice the combo's at the bottom of the template):
<DataTemplate x:Key="ListBoxCustomTemplate">
<Grid Margin="4" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" x:Name="lstBoxItemRoomGrid" >
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition />
<RowDefinition />
<RowDefinition />
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" FontWeight="Bold" Text="{Binding TemplateGroupName}" />
<Image x:Name="imgDeleteListBoxItem" Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="2" Grid.Column="1" Source="/Icons/Print-Groups-Config/delete-32.png" Height="25" Cursor="Hand"
ToolTip="Remove template" VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Right" MouseLeftButtonUp="imgDeleteListBoxItem_MouseLeftButtonUp">
<Image.Style>
<Style>
<Setter Property="Image.Visibility" Value="Hidden" />
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsMouseOver, ElementName=lstBoxItemRoomGrid}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Image.Visibility" Value="Visible" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Image.Style>
</Image>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Text="{Binding TemplateDescription}" TextWrapping="WrapWithOverflow" />
<!-- Header Template Selection -->
<Label Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Margin="0,3,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Content="Select Header:" FontWeight="DemiBold" Foreground="DarkGray" />
<telerik:RadComboBox x:Name="radComboHeaderTemplate" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="0" Width="120" Margin="0,0,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center"
ClearSelectionButtonVisibility="Visible" SelectedValue="{Binding TemplateHeaderID}" />
<!-- Footer Template Selection -->
<Label Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" Margin="0,3,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Content="Select Footer:" FontWeight="DemiBold" Foreground="DarkGray" />
<telerik:RadComboBox x:Name="radComboFooterTemplate" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1" Width="120" Margin="0,0,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center"
ClearSelectionButtonVisibility="Visible" SelectedValue="{Binding TemplateFooterID}" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
When my Window loads, I download the collection data from my database and store into a local collection. Note that there are two Collections, one for each of the 2 ComboBoxes in my DataTemplate.
//Header Templates
private ObservableCollection<TemplateHeaderFooter> templatesHeader = new ObservableCollection<TemplateHeaderFooter>();
//Footer Templates
private ObservableCollection<TemplateHeaderFooter> templatesFooters = new ObservableCollection<TemplateHeaderFooter>();
//--- Constructors ---
public PrintTemplateGroupsConfigWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
//Download Data From DB
this.templatesHeader = TemplateHeaderFootersDB.GetAllTemplatesOfType(1);
this.templatesFooters = TemplateHeaderFootersDB.GetAllTemplatesOfType(2);
}
How do I get the collection Data templatesFooters & templatesHeader into the the ItemsSources of their respective ComboBoxes?
The datatemplate is for a ListBox.
<telerik:RadListBox x:Name="lstBoxPrintGroupTemplates" Height="300" Width="280" ItemsSource="{Binding}" IsEnabled="False"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ListBoxCustomTemplate}" Style="{StaticResource DraggableListBox}" >
Many thanks. Any help is appreciated.
Define properties wrappers over the variables of your collections and then you can bind them to comboboxes as:
ItemsSource="{Binding TemplatesHeader, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type Window}}}"
public ObservableCollection<TemplateHeaderFooter> TemplatesHeader
{
get{return templatesHeader;}
}
Similarly you can do for other property
