Hej
I want to create a standard holdevent. When you hold an element, there would appear some options you could chose like a new list.
How do you create this, is it just simply done with a popup or is there a smarter way?
Extra
After finding the answer, see answer below, some nice info is:
Put the context creation inside the hold event.
Then you can change to different contextmenus depending on the item. You can get the item that was holded by the following
private void StackPanel_Hold(object sender, GestureEventArgs e)
{
ItemViewModel itemViewModel = (sender as StackPanel).DataContext as ItemViewModel;
string t = itemViewModel.LineOne;
}
And
<ListBox x:Name="MainListBox" Margin="0,0,-12,0" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Margin="0,0,0,17" Height="78" Hold="StackPanel_Hold">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding LineOne}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding LineTwo}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
A good link for easy implementation is also youtube link below, replicated here :

A ContextMenu is one option..

I'm developing a WPF app using MVVM pattern with Caliburn.Micro
I have a config file that contains positions of where XAML elements should be inside of a StackPanel
# in this case RU_ELEMENT should be at the top, EN_ELEMENT second and DE_ELEMENT last
EN_ELEMENT = 1
DE_ELEMENT = 2
RU_ELEMENT = 0
This seems to be pretty basic yet I'm unable to find a way to do this. I found this thread: change the children index of stackpanel in wpf but changing it this way seems to be too complicated for what I am after. I just need to set an index of an element from a variable. I feel like there should be a much simpler way. I'm also ok with using some other, perhaps more appropriate layout panel than StackPanel.
XAML:
<!-- Language1 -->
<TextBlock Text="English" Foreground="DarkGray" FontSize="16"/>
<TextBox
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Height="150"
Text="{Binding SelectedItem.ValueEN, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
cm:Message.Attach="[Event GotFocus] = [Action FocusedTextBox('english')]" />
<!-- Language2 -->
<TextBlock Text="German" Foreground="DarkGray" FontSize="16"/>
<TextBox
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Height="150"
Text="{Binding SelectedItem.ValueDE, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
cm:Message.Attach="[Event GotFocus] = [Action FocusedTextBox('german')]" />
On a side note: I find WPF and C# in general to have much less discussions and "how to" guides than all of my previous languages (Java, Python, JS) so researching things online is usually a dead end for me. I'm not sure to why that is since C# is a very popular language but I'm really struggling with finding help online.
A solution could be to use an ItemsControl that would host the xaml elements. You can bind the items like <ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding ListOfItems} ...
Then you could easily sort the items in the corresponding ViewModel. Like so:
public BindableCollection<YourElement> ListOfItems {get;set;}
...
ListOfItems.Sort()
Note that YourElement class should have a comparator.
EDIT: As per request I'll explain it more detailed:
In your Xaml you have to declare a ItemsControl like so:
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding ListOfItems}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Language}" Foreground="DarkGray" FontSize="16"/>
<TextBox
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Height="150"
Text="{Binding TextValue, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
cm:Message.Attach="[Event GotFocus] = [Action FocusedTextBox($this)]" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
And in your backend you should first create a class that's going to represent your item in the ItemsControl. For example:
public Class MyItem{
public string Language {get;set;}
public string TextValue {get;set;}
}
Finally in your ViewModel you'll need to create the list of items that you bind with the ItemsControl like so:
public BindableCollection<MyItem> ListOfItems {get;set;}= new BindableCollection<MyItem>();
//here you can add them in the order that is specified by the config file
public void LoadItems(){
ListOfItems.Add(new MyItem{Language="English"});
ListOfItems.Add(new MyItem{Language="Russian"});
ListOfItems.Add(new MyItem{Language="German"});
}
public void FocusedTextBox(MyItem item){
//do here whatever you want
}
I have a ToolBar with a ItemsTemplate which works fine until the OverflowPanel is Available.
The OverflowPanel does not close if i select one of the context actions.
The Problem only occurs if the Items are added via the ItemsSource binding:
<ToolBar ItemsSource="{Binding ContextActionViewModels}"
Background="Transparent"
ToolBarTray.IsLocked="True"
FocusManager.IsFocusScope="False">
<ToolBar.ItemTemplateSelector>
<views:ContextActionTemplateSelector>
<views:ContextActionTemplateSelector.SimpleContextActionDataTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type viewModels:SimpleContextActionViewModel}">
<Button Name="Button"
Command="{Binding ActionCommand}"
Style="{StaticResource ToolBarButtonStyle}"
ToolTip="{userInterface:Translation Binding={Binding ToolTip}}">
<ContentControl Template="{Binding Icon,Converter={StaticResource NameToResourceConverter}}"
Margin="5"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
</Button>
</DataTemplate>
</views:ContextActionTemplateSelector.SimpleContextActionDataTemplate>
<!-- Multiple DataTemplates follow!-->
Why is the DataTemplate / ItemTemplteSelector not working properly. While hardcoded Buttons in XAML work properly?
I uploaded a full sample that illustrates what is not working here:
Just Resize the window and try invoking one off the buttons in the OverflowPanel. While the 'ICommand' is executed properly the Popup stays open.
In the .NET framework source you can find the method that handles the closing behavior of OverflowPanel for ToolBar class:
private static void _OnClick(object e, RoutedEventArgs args)
{
ToolBar toolBar = (ToolBar)e;
ButtonBase bb = args.OriginalSource as ButtonBase;
if (toolBar.IsOverflowOpen && bb != null && bb.Parent == toolBar)
toolBar.Close();
}
When you define a DataTemplate and use ItemsSource property, the Parent property of the created button becomes null and the if check fails. This is the expected behavior of DataTemplate as described here:
For templates, the Parent of the template eventually will be null. To get past this point and extend into the logical tree where the template is actually applied, use TemplatedParent.
As a solution you can set the IsOverflowOpen property to false when you click any of the buttons:
<ToolBar Name="SomeToolBar" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
<ToolBar.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="local:ItemViewModel">
<Button Command="{Binding Command}" Content="{Binding Name}" Click="ButtonBase_OnClick"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ToolBar.ItemTemplate>
</ToolBar>
private void ButtonBase_OnClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
SomeToolBar.IsOverflowOpen = false;
}
I have for instance a list of 5 checkbox items:
<ListBox x:Name="Listbox" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,10,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<CheckBox x:Name="Item1" Content="Item1" Checked="Item1_Checked"/>
<CheckBox x:Name="Item2" Content="Item2" Checked="Item2_Checked"/>
<CheckBox x:Name="Item3" Content="Item3" Checked="Item3_Checked"/>
<CheckBox x:Name="Item4" Content="Item4" Checked="Item4_Checked"/>
<CheckBox x:Name="Item5" Content="Item5" Checked="Item5_Checked"/>
</ListBox>
For every checkbox that is checked, I want the item to be added to a list called myList.
So I tried this:
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
List<string> myList;
private void Item1_Checked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
myList.Add(Item1);
}
Problem is, "Item1" isn't an object so it can't be added to a list of objects.
After I have some objects in my list, I want to sort them in a specific order, for example by name, and than display the list in a pre-made templates.
Any suggestions?
Hope that you understand me, my english is not perfect and I'm new to c# and wpf :P
You need to use the Source property of the RoutedEventsArgs parameter passed to the checked handler. Also, you can use the same event handler for all checkboxes:
<ListBox x:Name="Listbox" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,10,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<CheckBox x:Name="Item1" Content="Item1" Checked="Item_Checked"/>
<CheckBox x:Name="Item2" Content="Item2" Checked="Item_Checked"/>
<CheckBox x:Name="Item3" Content="Item3" Checked="Item_Checked"/>
<CheckBox x:Name="Item4" Content="Item4" Checked="Item_Checked"/>
<CheckBox x:Name="Item5" Content="Item5" Checked="Item_Checked"/>
</ListBox>
private void Item_Checked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
myList.Add((e.Source as CheckBox).Name);
}
The control that initiated the event can be found in RoutedEventArgs.Source. You need to cast it, of course, to the control type.
In your particular case you can also use sender, but it's typically safer to rely on the Source property.
something that I thought would be simple is turning out not to be, or I'm just not thinking hard enough :)
I have a page which I navigate to, in the OnNavigateTo event I set the SelectedIndex of a ListPicker and that works fine.
If I then touch the ListPicker and select a new value the OnNavigateTo event is fired again and the new value is overridden by the original value.
My initial thought was to simply check the parent page name and if it was the ListPicker then skip the initial setting but I can't seem to find where to get the parent page name from.
Any clues? or a better way I should be handling this?
Here's the XAML:
<toolkit:ListPicker x:Name="Status" Margin="10,549,163,-97" Header="Status" FullModeHeader="Status" ExpansionMode="FullScreenOnly" BorderBrush="Black" Foreground="Black" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Visibility="Visible">
<toolkit:ListPicker.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" />
</DataTemplate>
</toolkit:ListPicker.ItemTemplate>
<toolkit:ListPicker.FullModeItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}"
FontSize="43"
FontFamily="{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilyLight}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</toolkit:ListPicker.FullModeItemTemplate>
</toolkit:ListPicker>
And here's the Loaded event:
private void AddNote_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
this.TicketStatus.ItemsSource = ticketStatus();
string st;
if (NavigationContext.QueryString.TryGetValue("status", out st))
{
tStatus = st;
TicketStatus.SelectedIndex = GetStatus(tStatus);
}
}
Ok, worked around it but creating my own page list and manually adding and removing the pages I want to check for. Bit of a hack but it works :)
List box is not binded just a Combobox replacement (values are exposed)
Xaml
<ListBox SelectionChanged="LBX_AddTaskOptions_SelectionChanged" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="19,29,0,0" Name="LBX_AddTaskOptions" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="125" FontWeight="Bold" Background="Beige">
<ListBoxItem Background="Beige" FontWeight="Bold" v>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="internet"></TextBlock>
<Image Source="Images\IE_BlackRed.png" Height="30"></Image>
</StackPanel>
</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem Background="Beige" FontWeight="Bold">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="localFolder"></TextBlock>
<Image Source="Images\Folder_Black.png" Height="30"></Image>
</StackPanel>
</ListBoxItem>
</ListBox>
CodeBehind
private void LBX_AddTaskOptions_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
var SelItm = LBX_AddTaskOptions.SelectedItem.ToString();
MessageBox.Show(Sel);
}
i have searched for that question, though answers are only for complex issues
as i am fresh .net Developer, i know all methods to extract DDL text/value
i even made extentions , though couldn't figure how to do this simple value extraction
shouldn't it be simple ?
messageBox shows the name of control (:
This isn't quite the right approach for XAML. You don't want to list out the markup for each item -- instead, use an ItemTemplate to define how it should look, and use bindings to render the actual item:
<ListBox SelectionChanged="LBX_AddTaskOptions_SelectionChanged" Name="LBX_AddTaskOptions">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<ListBoxItem Background="Beige" FontWeight="Bold" v>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" />
<Image Source="Images\IE_BlackRed.png" Height="30" />
</StackPanel>
</ListBoxItem>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
Bind the ListBox ItemsSource to the model data itself (ie, the array of strings in this case). Now, eventually you'll probably want to use a view model, but you can also add the items from code behind on load:
string[] ListBoxItems = new string[] { "internet", "local folder" };
LBX_AddTaskOptions.ItemsSource = ListBoxItems;
This should result in SelectedValue giving you the correct value.
Footnote -- you could get the selected value using the markup you've written out in the question -- but it would be ugly and would defeat the whole purpose of XAML. You'd need to cast SelectedItem to a ListBoxItem, then get its child and cast that to a StackPanel, get its children, etc, you get the idea. And then, of course, if the markup changes at all, the code you just wrote is no longer valid.
The item that you are getting in your selected value is a ListBoxItem with a control inside it. If you want to extract the value like the text then you have to do this
private void LBX_AddTaskOptions_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
var SelItm = LBX_AddTaskOptions.SelectedItem as ListBoxItem;
var StackPanel = SelItm.Content as StackPanel;
foreach (var child in StackPanel.Children)
{
if(child is TextBlock)
{
MessageBox.Show((child as TextBlock).Text);
}
}
}
You have to sort of dig into the control to get the actual text. There are a lot of ways to get the value but this is the pretty basic one.
Calling ToString() method will just convert the current object as a string which is a ListBoxItem.
